J can be home for months on end and everything goes smoothly. Then he has to be gone for work for a couple weeks and everything falls apart at home! I took Sara ice skating a week and a half ago with a friend just to discover that her little friend was sick and has been exposed to RSV by a cousin the weekend before. I called J that night and predicted what would come around here. Sure enough, exactly 3 days later Sara was up in the middle of the night with a fever and cough. This was the start of our sickie rollercoaster. I ended up taking her to the dr. and then to urgent care a few days later. She had a fever of 103 for 6 straight days and didn't sleep pretty much that entire time because of all the coughing! About 5 days in to her illness, Jace started sneezing. I ended up in the pediatrician's office with him yesterday and left with a diagnosis of RSV and bronchiolitis. He is one sick little baby but such a little trooper. They sent me home with a nebulizer and I'm giving him breathing treatments every 4-6 hrs. The goal is to keep him eating at this point. He sounds awful, wheezy and a nasty cough but so far we are hanging in there. The dr. said things will get worse before they getter better so we are bracing ourselves. Of course, we couldn't get through all this without me getting it also, so we are a house full of sickies. On top of all this our dog Dakotah is sick. She is suffering with some pancreas issues and once we have healthy kids again we will need to do further testing to figure out what is going on with her.......
I got these couple cute pics of Jace before he got sick. There are no new ones of Sara as she wasn't feeling very photogenic!
