Finally, Answers.

We took Maddy to the doctor today because she has been reallly bad the last 2 days...not wanting to eat, tugging on her ears, not wanting to lay down to sleep. Yea...we've been sleeping sitting up with her in our arms so we are TIRED.

Since this has been going on since early November, they did an RSV test, and lo an behold. It was positive. She has RSV. The good thing (I guess you can say good thing) is that the worst part should be over, and she should be getting better soon. He said RSV can last weeks. They're sick for about a week or so, do really bad for a week, then begin to get better. I hope this was the bad week because it was BAD. He said with RSV, they will have a lot more mucos. So that explains the cough and the drooling, and the fluid in the ears. Poor thing has had it rough. So she is still on the breathing treatments and now on antibiotics for her ears.

Aron is already better. He had it too and we had to take him to the emergency room to check his oxygen levels because he was unable to cry.His oxygen was perfect so we just had to keep suctioning out his nose. We also had to hold him all night. My back is still in pain from it!! So it will get better!!! Though watching your child suffer seems like years are passing by.
