No Pics But We have RSV

Sorry no pictures today. I haven't taken any new ones the past few days because our little jelly bean Taylor has RSV. For those of you who don't know it is a virus that infects the lungs. We thought she just caught Tanner's cold, but in babies her age it turns into RSV and is more serious. We have to give her Singular at night and do breathing treatments every four hours to keep her breathing easier. The Dr. also said that she will stay crabby and sick like this for a week and we have to do treatment for two weeks. She slept in her car seat to keep her upright the night before last and last night she was in her swing. I feel so bad for her becuase she sometimes has these coughing fits and goop is coming out of everywhere, even one of her eyes. I just hope this clears up and she doesn't get worse. Unfortnately if she does get worse she may have to be hospitalized. I don't think that will happen but I am preparing myself for anything. Please keep our little one in your thoughts and prayers right now for a quick, full recovery.

I'll post pictures when she is better.

Dena - sorry to hear about Taylor Mary had some RSV type illnesses last year and we had to do breathing treatments too - no fun! I hope she is well soon.

Thanks you guys. She has been doing a little better but the cough is still rough. It is just so hard when they are having such a bad time.

Is Mary doing better now or having any residual effects from it?

Sorry to hear about my baby girl. Charles, Miah and Mikelle were all very sick. They all had 102.5 temps. for 4 days. Miah has bronchitis. Thats why you haven't heard from me in a while. I've been taking care of everyone.

Oh poor baby =( I am so sorry she has RSV. It sucks! We had 6 months of synagis (rsv vaccintation) shots and Shenzie still got it. Hopefully she'll be better soon.

Hi Dena, I am did a google search about vbac doctors in Las Vegas and your blog came up, an old post that you said you found 2 doctors that do vbac's. I was wondering if you remember them, and could email me at honeylips at gmail .com and let me know? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
