Thank goodness for good doctors -- and the ability for at least one of us to stay home with the kids full time! Liv had been feeling less than perfect since Wednesday -- and 4 a.m. on Friday she woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. So we visited our lovely Pediatrician, Dr. Whitney... clear ears (good), small sinus infection (not too bad), clear throat (good)... but positive for RSV (bummer).
On the good side -- Liv is the first of our kids to get RSV... Dr. Whitney wondered how we got through 2 kids without ever having to use a nebulizer... would have been great to make it through all 3. After getting set up with all the necessary stuff, getting Liv home and taken care of... she slept all the way through the night Friday night... and has been improving greatly each day.
Of course we gathered around Liv in prayer during family devotions... and prayed for all of the family ... good health and healing. Anika isn't 100% yet... but is also improving, mostly just cold symptoms.
It was good to have a more quiet weekend. We had a yummy dinner at the Welch family home Saturday night (had been planned for 2 weeks prior). Since they didn't have young kids, RSV wasn't really a factor for them... plus Jim works as a Resp. therepist at the hospital - so he gave us some pointers on getting Liv to calm down during the neb. treaments. He listened to her lungs too, and said they sounded clear. (PTL!!)
This is Anika and her friend Monet at Church... enjoying a little fun time with balloons.
So... now back to the housework for some much needed laundry and over-all cleaning!
