First the good news...

We're not all sick anymore. Yay! Well, that's it for the good news, now here's the bad news: Macho has RSV.

Remember how we thought he caught the same infection that Beauty had? Turns out he had a double ear infection, not a respiratory infection. I noticed that after a day of having antibiotics, Macho wasn't doing any better, so I took him to an Instacare Saturday evening. They tested him for RSV and sure enough, that's what he has. What does this mean? It means that for a total of 3 weeks, he will have a very congested/drippy nose, a heavy cough and difficulty breathing (which I have to monitor closely). For once, can't my kids just catch a regular cold? I think that since Beauty was born until now, I've only experienced one regular cold between the two of them.

I haven't been sleeping well at all since both the kids have been going back and forth with various illnesses. Hopefully tonight I can catch up on some sleep.

  1. We think that's what Aidan had- he just got over it. It's pretty much the sickest he's ever been. Just be grateful he's big enough to not have to stay in the hospital while it runs it's course. Several babies in our ward had to.
