RSV....gah

Last week, Ross was sick. On Feb. 13, Patrick brought Ross to the doctor. He was diagnosed with RSV and had to stay home the whole week. We had to do around the clock breathing treatments. Pretty much a week after he started with symptoms he got a fever....turns out the RSV made him get an ear infection. 2 days after the antibiotics he's normal again.

Then, Sunday night (19th), Alex had 99.8 temp. I gave him Motrin and he was fine the next morning. Then Monday night he had 100.1 temp, gave him Motrin and he was fine. Tuesday was Mardi Gras day, he was a bit calm but no temp. On Wednesday (22) he came to Ross's check-up with me and while in the office with the doctor, he coughed and she said she wanted to check him for RSV. Turns out, Alex contracted it. He also had an ear infection.

As we lied in bed tonight, Alex was complaining of his cheek hurting. I assume it's the ear infection. The doctor gave us antibiotics so if Alex is still complaining in the middle of next week, I guess we'll go to the doctor again. That will be 4 visits in 2 weeks.

I hope the RSV stops here because Patrick nor I can miss more work.
