My baby boy has RSV, again. We spent all last week nebbing Owen twice a day. BUT, he never had a fever and never had to miss school. Emmett starting coughing Saturday and we've been nebbing him 3 times a day. His cough sounds croupy and we sat outside for a good stretch at 4 AM this morning. He's missed two days of school. Henry started coughing this AM. He went from being a little sick to very sick in the course of 8 hours. By the time we got to the pediatrician, I had already nebbed him once and she nebbed him again when we got there. She thinks he has RSV (again) and we're hoping to keep him out of the hospital. He's older and stronger this year....AND, she put him on oral prednisone which he couldn't take as a 2 month old. We're nebbing him every 4 hours, giving him oral steroids, and we have to see her again on Monday. It's going to be a LONG week. RSV typically lasts a long stretch, so we're looking at being home bound for a week.
I'm a bit extra bummed, because I've become a gym rat and that means I won't be making it to the gym (unless I can get there in the evening) for a while. UGH...spring can't come soon enough.

Oh Meg, that is the saddest picture ever! You really need to book trip to the beach and soon. Go visit those sweet grandparents of yours. I really hope that all the boys recover soon, especially the baby! Hang in there.
Nooooo! I guess you thank God that he doesn't fight you with his treatments. Such a sweetie- they all are. Get better soooooon! muh!
Poor Henry. It seems someone has been sick there all winter long. Is your pediatrician thinking about renaming to “The Bauer Family Practice”? Yuck.
