The last few nights have been the longest nights ever, and that's including when Hallie was a newborn. Hallie has been coughing, throwing up, had a weird rash, has been wheezy, and had a fever. Last night I was up with her til 3 am (and cleaned up throw up about 5 times), when I woke Eric up and told him I had to get some sleep (that's what time he normally wakes up). Then Eric was up with her until about 7 am, he obviously didn't go to work today.
But we decided to take her to the doctor today and she has RSV which we are hoping doesn't turn into pneumonia. The doctor officially diagnosed her with asthma too. Luckily we already have a nebulizer, but Hallie absolutely hates sitting there and having it done. But it's good to know, and be able to take some action in her breathing issues.
I'm sure our insurance agency is hating us this year. Since the first of the year, we have been to InstaCare twice, the doctors office three times, had two splints made, and filled four prescriptions. We recently changed Hallie's pediatrician, and he has seen us every Wednesday for the last three weeks, so we know him well now. We're glad we do though, he's one of the best pediatricians for respiratory problems in the area, and we are so happy with him.
Hopefully now that Hallie is on three different medicines she will finally start feeling better...and we'll all get some sleep.
Such is life I guess. There could be far worse things I'm sure.

Poor kylie, you have your hands full. The only thing I can think about when stuff like this happens, is man it'll be so nice to finish school soon!!!! Good luck and hope she feels better.
I'm so sorry! I hope you all get some sleep...I wish I could help.
I'll be praying for your family!
Good grief, girl! She just can't catch a break. And where in the heck did she get RSV?? Good luck, Kylie. I'm sorry life has been so crazy. I'll start praying for you that things can be relatively normal again. I LOVE YOU!
Poor little Hallie. That poor girl gets everything. And I'm with Lauren, where in the world did the RSV come from? I hope you're doing ok. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Even if it's just play with Hallie for a couple hours so you can take a nap.
Poor girl! We hope she gets feeling better soon! And that you get some rest soon. Let us know if you need anything!
Doesn't RSV start as a regular cold?
