Our little Sophia is just a big ball of germs. It only took her one week (with a weekend inbetween) of daycare to come home with a stuffy nose. And now after 2 months she has had an ear infection and now RSV. Welcome to a daycare baby - AKA a big ball of germs! Now when people say "Oh I should wash my hands before I hold her" I always say "Well no, you probably want to wash your hands AFTER you hold her." The RSV has been pretty rough for her. She is losing her voice she coughs so much and she can barely cry. It's so sad to listen to her. It's amazing to think that in 4 short months, we know her little personality so well that we can immediately tell she isn't feeling well. Her mood has definitely changed. She is such a little cuddle bug and which makes me love rocking her to sleep. I could just rock her all day if I wanted to. She hasn't been sleeping well the past few nights because of her cough, so the pediatrician prescribed an inhaler and a nebulizer to help her breath better. Since it's a virus we just have to let it pass. Hopefully tylonal and the inhaler will make it a little easier on her. Here is our sweet girl on the nebulizer. Sometimes she doesn't mind it and sometimes she screams and fusses the whole time. The doctor said it's almost better if they are crying when getting the medicine because they breathe it in more.
Hubby has been taking her to all of her doctors appointments and staying home sick with her. That is one good thing about having him in school - he has a flexible schedule. I feel guilty but I'd rather save my sick time for when we really need it (like next year during his rotations). Lets just say I'm milking it for all its worth, because I know for the rest of her life I'll be taking her to the doctor and staying home sick with no other options.
