My Worst Fear Came True


Kylee has RSV. Yes, it has been a rough day. I actually thought she was getting over the cold yesterday morning but then her nasty cough came right back and got worse throughout the night. I ended up having to hold her after her 5 AM feeding on the couch for a little bit, until she fell asleep, then transfered her back to her crib. I would have loved to have held her throughout the whole early morning but I have a stubborn 2 year old that likes my complete attention when he wakes up. I was so glad I got her into the doctor this morning because at her 9 AM feeding she started to spit up mucus and cough uncontrollably for minutes at a time. I was a little freaked out. Thank you Cindi for watching Drew at the last minute. Have I ever told you how much I love my doctor...he is the best, really. He was pretty sure it was RSV but wanted to do a swab test just to be sure and sure enough, it came back positive. So now we are staying home for the rest of the weekend and hopefully Kylee can kick this pretty fast. I caught it early, literally formed over night, and it is suppose to get worse before better. Our UT trip might be cancelled...it all depends on how quickly Kylee can kick this virus. Even though she is sick and doesn't feel well, she still loves to smile. I absolutely love her smiles and makes me smile everytime!

I hope she starts feeling better soon. Good thing you caught it early, I was too late with D and got to spend 5 days w him in the hospital. Not fun! Make sure to keep all sickies away from her so she can recover quickly!

Poor Kylee! Rsv landed Makenna in the hospital when she was just 2 months old. We'll pray for a speedy recovery!
