23 Weeks and Under the Weather
He doesn't look too bad for a baby with a nasty cold...poor little guy. Today we had our second visit to the doctor this week. After days of a stuffy, drippy nose , a low-grade fever, and a terrible coughing fit this morning we went back this morning and he had several tests done; blood work, x-rays and all! He was actually a little champ and didn't cry a bit. He tested positive for RSV, which is, from what I understand, a really bad cold, instead of just a cold, pretty common and contagious. They ruled out pneumonia, though, which is a blessing! But all I can do is try to keep him comfortable and as 'upright' as possible. He's still pretty perky and playful. Hopefully Mark will avoid the cold. I haven't been so fortunate, catching it yesterday morning. Yucky!

Em---Sorry James is sick. I remember those days of having sick little ones. It isn't fun, especially at night. We spent many a night in the bathroom trying to get it as hot and steamy as possible for all three of ours. Then we went through inhalers-etc... I will keep James in my prayers that he will get healthy quickly for springtime weather.

oh em...I'm sorry!!!
Ugg! I'm so sorry you're BOTH sick...but I'm glad that he's still relatively happy considering how sick he is - and I'm glad you took him back to the dr. Is he on any antibiotics or anything? I'll be praying for him! - and you...and that Mark doesn't get sick too!
Poor Baby James! Noah had RSV last winter, it's stinky. Hopefully he'll be back to normal soon! I can't believe he didn't cry at the x-rays, Noah screamed like a crazy man. It was heartbreaking.
