Daddy came home and cheered Kayla up with his guitar while Mama got to go to Hobby Lobby for some much needed respite time.
Runny nose and feeling lousy!!
The next evening we had dinner guests over and we discovered a high fever after they left. She was also very lethargic and coughing more. We decided that I would take her to the Dr the next day on my day off and we found out that she had RSV. She felt and looked lousy. I kept taking her temp all day to the point that Kayla got obsessed with the ear thermometer too and loved to play with it. These are pictures of her after a nap and with a 103 fever. I stripped her down and kept pumping in the Tylenol and Pedialite and it finally came down. The Dr put her on breathing treatments to be done every 4 hours. She finally got used to them after a couple of days.We had to keep her out of the daycare for about a week and Chad's dad even came up to stay with her for a day.
The next night (Tues, Jan 6th) Chad was at a new class and Kayla and I had the house to ourselves. I was hoping to have a fun night playing with her, but she wanted to watch Elmo and the next thing I knew she was sleeping in her chair like this. I was really cute, but I didn't know what to do b/c it was 6:30 in the evening. Way too early for bedtime, but if I woke her up then she would be up for a long time afterwards. I just knew that she would wake up about 10:00 after I just layed her down in bed, but she slept all night. I thought it was the cough medicine, but little did I know how sick she really was.
This picture was taken in the Dr.'s office during her 18 month check up. She had a little cough then, so he prescribed some cough medicine that we gave religiously the next couple of days.
