Sick Baby

Mack and I came to Mississippi on Tuesday. He was fussy the whole ride and I just thought he was getting used to his new car seat. I was so wrong. Right when we got to my parent's house, my mom said he felt warm, he had a fever. We called around on Wednesday morning and found a pediatrician in West Point that would see us. They did a flu test and strep test, both were negative. The doc told us it was just a bad cold and it would have to run its course. Well, by Friday he still had a fever and was just getting worse. We took him back to the doctor and they suspected RSV. We had to go to the hospital for an x-ray to make sure it was not pneumonia. The x-ray was clear, so they sent us home with a breathing machine to do breathing treatments 3 times a day. Today, Saturday, he is feeling a little better and close to being back to himself.
My mom took off work planning for us to have a fun time with Mack, but this trip has definitely turned into us both nursing Mack around the clock. Please say a prayer that Mack gets better soon and we have a calm ride back to South Carolina.

  1. Hey Girl! I know exactly how you feel. RSV is not fun. Sarah Douglas was hospitalized for it new years day. I hope Mack gets well soon!

  2. I hate to hear that Mack is sick. Ainsley had a touch of RSV a few months after she was born. It is not fun when your baby feels bad. I hope he gets better fast.
