Santa is not the only thing that enters our life this time of year. Apparently, RSV comes a knockin' when the weather turns cold, and Ella seems to always greet him with open arms...
Our timeline of this week...
Monday-Ella has crackle in her chest, and cough in her throat and misses Mother's Day out.
Tuesday-Ella has a fever by afternoon, accompanied by the cough and crackle.
Tuesday evening 5:30 p.m.- Ella has a high fever of 102, so Baxter takes her to CareNow. We've seen this before and we're awful jumpy.
Tuesday 8:45 p.m.-the Dr. at CareNow advises us to take her to the Emergency Room at Childrens in Dallas
Tuesday 11:45 p.m.-Ella is diagnosed with RSV at the emergency room, and given Motrin (and sent home, thank Goodness!)
Wednesday 11:00-Follow up at our pediatricians office- RSV also diagnosed with an ear infection.
So far, she sleeps okay, and thanks for all of your prayers as we were really worried about what was going to happen. We got off easy this year, I guess compared to last year, but boy, RSV is a booger. (By the way, I told our nurse yesterday that the emergency room gave her "Midol" not "motrin". Baxter immediately started laughing at me.
'Tis the Season.

Hi Amy - Sorry to hear about Ella. Our Sammy had RSV his first year and it is NO FUN. Take care.
thanks for the kind thoughts guys. It is no fun! This is her 2nd annual bout with the stinking thing. Although it's much tamer this time around.
