RSV and a 5 week old...

Yes, that is what we are dealing with currently... Oh, sorry, Merry Christmas Eve!

My poor Addison is sick. I am sure she got it from her big sis who isn't quite back to 100%. She, Addison, started a small cough Tuesday afternoon, typically after eating but a few times just randomly. This got me worried especially with Annabelle being sick. I checked her temp and it was slightly elevated. We did the over night watch Tuesday to see if her temp rose to the 100.4 mark of lets take a fun trip to the ER but it didn't so I just called in a same day appointment at the clinic. She was seen, with me wishing for a plastic bubble to hide her in, by a great doctor who checked her lungs, gave the "they sound great", checked her respiration to see if she was laboring, she wasn't, and checked her mucus to see if she has RSV, which she does. :( There isn't a thing we can do but put saline in her nose and suck it out. With it being the holiday, he wanted her seen in two days (putting us at Christmas day) or the day after, which is a DONSA with only one clinic open on post, so we decided to have her seen today (one day after being seen already) To be honest I am very glad she is going back in today because she sounds worse to me and is very wet in the head and chest (it seems) I am curious to see if her lungs are still clear. We are at my parents for mom's birthday and of course Christmas so John is going to drive back to post to take her to the appointment while I stay here with Annabelle... Please say a prayer (or 100) that she starts to improve faster than the stated 2 week recovery time and that no one else gets it her in the house..

I will update more once she is seen again this afternoon (240p)

Love to you all and Merry Christmas!!
