Oh my, a week has gone by and I haven't blogged. I do have a very good reason. Last weekend our new baby Reid, came down with a little cough. Being that it is winter and both the other kids were down with colds in the previous weeks, I wasn't unusually worried. By monday night however it was obvious that this was no normal case of the sniffles. Reid was having trouble breathing and was inconsolable. I rushed him to the ER where we spent the night getting blood work, a chest X-ray and working with a respiratory therapist. The next day we found out he had tested positive for RSV which was causing bronchiolitis which was why he was having trouble breathing. He was put on inhalers and after 3 separate trips to the hospital we finally got his breathing under control. His fever finally broke yesterday and it seems like he is through the worst. He is still wheezy and needs his inhalers frequently but is back to his sunny self and we are so thankful for that.
We have company arriving tomorrow and so it might be a few more days before I get back to my regular posting.
