Two Weeks @ Daycare and...

my little boy has RSV. Well, technically it's Bronchiolitis caused by the RSV, but either way you look at it, it's pathetic. We thought he was getting a bad cold around Monday, and it turned into a nasty cough. My momma's intuition kicked in, and I was right on. The doctor heard his cough and immediately diagnosed it. Since he's otherwise healthy, he should be fine, we just have to make sure he keeps eating, and that his breathing stays how it is now. He sure is pathetic though. I told him that when he gets older I'll let him have chicken noodle soup and couch time in footie pajamas with cartoons when he's sick, but for now, a bottle and lots of cuddling will have to do. BT is home with him today, and i'll stay home with him tomorrow. We're playing next week by ear right now. This is his poor little pathetic self at the doctor's office yesterday.

I'm so sorry. I've been thinking about you all last night and today. He does look quite pathetic and puny in the picture. He isn't having to do breathing treatments though? That is a blessing! I'm feeling for you all. Let me know if there is anything I can do - I can be there in 2 hours you know! Love you all!

How is baby Thomas doing today? I can only imagine how hard it is for you and BT to watch him struggle breathing.Hopefully by now he is on the road to recovery. I sent your Christmas card ( by the way,I thought that was the most adorable picture) to Aunt Betty as she had heard you had a baby but wondered if it was a boy or girl. Since she is always sharing her pictures with me,I knew she would love to see a picture of Thomas. I love reading your blog and keeping in touch with how the three of you are doing. You guys are great parents! Happy Belated birthday. I called your Dad on that day but you guys had just left. He was getting ready to enjoy some of your ice cream cake.Take care and good luck with those resolutions. Love you, Aunt Bec
