Bring on the Sickness…UGH!

So about 2 weeks ago, I took you in because you had the worst looking right eye I have ever seen…turns out it was an eye infection. So the doctor put you on Amoxicillin. I scheduled a follow-up appointment for Feb 24 to make sure your ear infection went away!  We don’t want those to continue to fester. But needless to say, on Tuesday, Feb. 21, you woke up with boogers crusted all over your face. I should have gotten a picture, but didn’t think of it at the time. You went to daycare and were a bit fussy, but nothing bad. On Wednesday, daycare called and said that you were just having a bad day. You woke up that morning with a “seal-like” bark. So, dad took you to the doctor early. You checked out fine with just a moderate cough. Thursday you were doing better at daycare, and so mom and dad decided to go to a cooking class with some friends. Friday morning, you woke up again with nasty boogers all over. We took you in to Sophie for you 4 month pictures and you suffered through them with great gusto! We came home and you took a 2 1/2 hour nap…and you NEVER take this long of a nap at home. When you woke up, you were breathing pretty hard, very lethargic and not interested in eating. I called the doctor, not sure if I was just being a paranoid mother or not…and they were able to get you in. Needless to say, you tested positive for RSV, left eye infection and a right ear infection. Your O2 stats were good, but they wanted a follow-up appointment on Saturday. Friday night, was ROUGH! You did not eat anything from 5:30 pm till 1:30 Saturday when we were in the ER! Nor did you have a wet diaper. You woke about every 45 minutes wailing and screaming in pain with very labored breathing! So we got back into the doc earlier than we planned, and with that appt, the safest bet was to head to the hospital because your O2 was borderline. So after some O2 and Tylenol, you got some good rest…you are breathing better today (Sunday), eating better and even playing! I think we are staying the night again to be on the safe side! So, hopefully, we are on the mend…as our Phoenix trip is coming up on Friday!!  We love you so much and you are such a strong fighter!
