Rotten Stinkin' Virus

That's right folks, sweet baby Avery has Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV),  I took her to the Doc this morning, they tested her, and ta-da....a big fat positive for RSV, and the little darling has a double ear infection as well, so while I hate that she also has a double ear infection, at least she can have meds for that, since they don't treat RSV with anti-biotics. She is home with my Parents today and likely will be there most of the week. They say she can go back to "school" when she is fever free for 24 hours, but with how crappy she feels I am thinking she will spend the majority of the week with my Parents.

So the little darling is on breathing treatments every four hours for the next few days, the good news is, the breathing treatment at the Doctor's Office seemed to help open her up a bit, so hopefully that helps her start to feel better. And we are keeping an eye on her diapers, because the last few haven't been very wet, if at all, so that isn't a good sign.

On a side note, she weighs 24lbs...I am taking bets, think she will get to 25lbs before her 1 year check up on February 26th?

Oh poor Avery and mama. I know it breaks your heart to not be able to be with her all day. Know that she's being comforted by her loving grandparents and most likely being spoiled rotten! Poor girl. The photo in the most recent post really tugged my heart strings. Feel better soon skinny!!!!
