Still sick

I'm tired. Really, really tired. Allison is still sick. She has a snotty nose, watery eyes, and the worst cough I have ever heard a baby her age have. Last night was tough. She threw up twice and couldn't sleep unless we were sitting straight up. So back to the doctor we went this morning.
He said it still presents itself as RSV. We discussed going back to the hospital to do another test to make sure, but since we would treat it the same if it was RSV or another virus we decided not to. We did start breathing treatments here at home to see if that would help. They just delivered the nebulizer an hour ago and we set it up and gave Allie a dose. She didn't like it that much but was a trooper through the whole process. It is just sad to see a three-month-old with a tiny mask strapped to her head.
So I am going to go now and try to keep my eyes open.

I'm so sorry you are going through this...we now OWN our own nebulizer. We've had it since Andrew was about 18 months old. But borrowed(rented) one for about a year before that. He wouldn't let us use the mask, so we just pointed the neb at him and he breathed it in...we had to sit there holding him and the neb, but he still got the meds. It seems like the neb is a perminant fixture in my livingroom. As soon as I think we're done with it and pack it away, someone else gets sick and needs it. Warren has used it more this winter than anyone else, he's had pneumonia twice!
Praying she gets better soon, and you get some rest!
Blessings-Andie

Aww poor Allie! I hope the breathing treatments work fast. Does she have a little mask that looks like a dinosaur? I've seen those on TV..
