Sick, Sick, Sick..RSV

This was Boston last Monday on our way to the doctor.  This is the worst I think i've seen him look when being sick.  He was diagnosed with bronchitis.  His MDO teacher said all the kids have been sick in his class.  Thankfully with some medicine he was back to normal in a couple of days!

You wouldn't know it from this picture but she had a 101 fever.  This was last Thursday before we took her to the doctor.  She had a horrible cough and started running fever on Wednesday.  I had to take both kids by myself to the doctor!  I was stuck in that itty bitty exam room with both sick kids for over an hour.  I thought I was going to lose my mind!  Blake was diagnosed with RSV and an ear infection! She isn't even in daycare!  The Dr said she probably got it from Boston. While at the Dr they checked her pulseox levels and gave her a breathing treatment.  We got some antibiotics for the ear infection and an inhaler for her RSV and was told to watch her breathing and fever closely for the next few days.   Poor thing ran a fever of 101-102 from Wednesday to Sunday!  Saturday morning we woke up and she was weezing and had a high fever.  Luckily our dr office is open on Saturday mornings so we took her in.  They checked her pulseox levels again which was low and gave another breathing treatment.

This picture breaks my heart!  She felt so bad!

The dr told us again to watch her breathing closely and if it got above 50-60 breaths per minute to take her to the hospital.  We were sent home with a nebulizer to do breathing treatments every 4 hours because the inhaler wasn't helping at all.  

Look how cute it is

Sick baby girl

She was finally fever free on Sunday night and has been ever since. She hasn't eaten well in about a week so I'm hoping she's getting her appetite back.  She threw up a few times after eating from coughing so much :(

I only had to give her one breathing treatment today and she seems much better! She was all smiles :)

I am so thankful that we didn't have to put her in the hospital! It is such a helpless feeling when your baby is sick!

So the sickness was passed from Boston to Blake and now I have it and Kyle is gone all week,again, meh.  We all know mamas don't get sick days! 

I feel like I have dropped the ball on Boston's birthday! He will be 3 on Friday!  I ordered his gifts this weekend and I am hoping they will get here by then.  His party is Saturday and I have so many things to do. I haven't been out of the house for a week except for going to Dr appointments. I feel like we have been quarantined!  I am so ready to get back to our routine, back to the gym and have some sort of normalcy again.  

Oh, and this past week has completely knocked us out of our bedtime routine!  Both kids have been in our room for the most part. She is back in the pack and play (so we can observe her breathing) and Boston has started out in our bed because Kyle has been gone so much.   

Ahhh!
