\"IMG_3911\"<\/a>We have had our fair share of sickness in this house.\u00c2\u00a0 It all started the day after Christmas when Ian started running a low grade fever and had a cough.\u00c2\u00a0 By Friday night he had a fever of 104 and Saturday morning was coughing a lot more and congested and his fever only went down to 102 with Tylenol.\u00c2\u00a0 I took him in to our peds office and they ran a test for flu, strep and RSV.\u00c2\u00a0 He tested positive for RSV, which we suspected, and I knew it was only a matter of time before Hayden and Harper got it.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you know how hard it is to keep two 3 year old boys away from a baby – next to impossible! 3 days after Ian started running fever, Hayden started and then 3 days later, Harper.\u00c2\u00a0 Then about 3 days later Daddy got it and then I was officially the last one in the house to get the crud…I’m just trying to hold off on getting antibiotics.\u00c2\u00a0 Jonathan’s and mine turned into a sinus infection so he got antibiotics last week.\u00c2\u00a0 Ian actually ended up with a double ear infection too so he had antibiotics or that as well.<\/p>\n

Poor Harper was hit pretty hard with it.\u00c2\u00a0 RSV in babies can be fatal and as they get older it gets less severe.\u00c2\u00a0 While the boys were miserable and felt horrible, Harper was almost hospitalized due to it.\u00c2\u00a0 She had horrible wheezing, congestion and wouldn’t eat.\u00c2\u00a0 she was eating about 8-9 ounces of formula a day, that’s it! So the first threat of the hospital was for her breathing, but being a respiratory therapist and dealing with RSV a LOT when I worked at Children’s our pediatrician felt comfortable with us taking her home and doing breathing treatments and suctioning at home.\u00c2\u00a0 The second hospital threat was for dehydration.\u00c2\u00a0 Thankfully, she started drinking and having wet diapers again, so we were good!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3957\"<\/a>For a week and a half we did a lot of laying around, watching movies, playing games and doing puzzles, reading books and more laying around.\u00c2\u00a0 Hayden (who got hit the least) was going stir crazy, but Ian who is our home body had to re-adjust after being home for so long.\u00c2\u00a0 He had a hard time going back to school, in fact the first day back only Hayden went and Ian stayed home with me.<\/p>\n

We are all on the mend now and we hope that virus never comes back! Ha, who am I kidding…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
