Tis the season, for those yucky germs and viruses.
Well they got us!. Last weekend I could tell Hannah was coming down with something. By tuesday, I had had enough of her coughing... and truth be told, I am sure she did too. So, first thing that morning, I took her to the urgent care. After testing all ten fingers and all ten toes for her oxygen levels (they couldn't believe the results) we were sent to the hospital for further testing. To make a VERY long story short ... she tested positive for RSV, we were admitted, stayed the night, and released by the next afternoon. No hospital stay is ever pleasant... and this one was NO exception. It was a very long and ridiculus stay for both Hannah and I.
This picture says it all...
In the middle of the night, the WONDERFUL Respitory Therapist suggest taping the oxygen to her pacifier (rather than following her around with a face mask). The best idea ever!
Meanwhile...
Back at home with Mark, Abby was coming down with a little something as well. So Mark then took her to the urgent care. She was diagnosed unofficially with RSV too!! (This just after I decided to clorox my whole house...you know, just in case!) So two trips to the Urgent Care, one night at the hospital, and who know how much $$$ later, We have...
This every six hours
and this every four!
