Bah Humbug

Well we spent almost 24 hours in the hospital for Christmas. Well we got out at 9pm Christmas Eve. Just in time for Santa to come. In the meantime we missed 2 family events for Christmas. It sucked. So Nicholas is very sick with RSV. You cant tell by the picture but believe me you would not want to be in our house right now. He is so fussy, feverish, clingy, irritable, wont eat much, and has restless days and nights. We took him to the ER where they thought it was just his just his asthma at first. He was put on oral steroids and had 4 breathing treatments with in just a few hours and was still was not breathing better. Then his oxygen dropped and they admitted him in. They have to test for RSV, so they don't put him in with other kids, yadda, yadda, yadda and sure enough came back positive. I was so sad and cried like a cry baby. I was very scared. But luckily we have a very mild case but his asthma makes it so much worse. So it can hang around for 2-4 weeks. We were able to come home as soon as soon as his O2 was okay but can have a relapse. We are hoping not. Being in the hospital is bad enough but with a 1 year old that wants to crawl and is in a isolated room is even worse. So we are hoping this passes quickly. We were told it get worse before better.
