Word of the day.....Virus

ok...Andrew was never sick....besides his eczema...I mean he had 1 ear infection and that was it besides a common cold hear and there.  Isabel has viral meningitis at 5 weeks and we spent 2 nights in the hospital...then came today...thats right my bab has another virus....what viruses this time?  RSV  Yeah a nasty little virus that is a real pain in the butt.  It all started Sunday...she started with a runny nose...then all day monday it was a little runny nose and coughing and a slight fever...so I made her an appt for this morning.  Then last night she started running a higher fever...it never got above 103 but it wouldn't go down with tylenol either...she did wake this morning with a lower temp, but the runny nose was back.  when we saw the ped.  he said it just looks like a cold b/c her chest is clear.  So I told him that she was couging up HUGE amounts of snotty material he decided to test for RSV anyway.  1 hour later after walking ALL OVER the hospital we went to check the results...and he came in with face masks...which he said did us no good b/c we had been walking all over the hospital for an hour so we could have spread it to anyone anyway, but he told me and Isabel to go to the car and for DH (dear husband for non-babyzoners) to go the pharmacy to pick up an inhailer and we have to come back on thursday....oh then he added we all are probably going to be sick in the next day or two...which was funny b/c I woke up this morning feeling ill...Happy Christmas you stinking virus...
