Sick!

It all started last Monday when Blake starting running a fever, coughing, and having a stuffy nose. By Tuesday, as the fever climbed to 101 degrees, and then 102, I went ahead and made an appointment to see the pediatrician. He was not there that day, so we saw a different doctor who examined her and said she had bronchiolitis. All we could do to help Blake was to just make her comfortable. So I spent the next week suctioning out her nose that just dripped with snot, and came out even worse with her big sneezes! She just coughed til she cried, sneezed, and slept. I spent most of the week laying on the couch with Blake so she would sleep. Cut to yesterday, when we went back to the doctor, this time seeing our usual pediatrician. She still had fever of around 100, still coughing, congested, same story. So after 4 hours, labwork and chest x-rays..... Blake has bronchiolitis, and RSV. She seems to be a little better today and has even laughed a little. Hopefully she is now on the road to recovery!
