RSV

So the Monday after Christmas we took both babies in to the doctor since things seemed to be getting worse not better. At this point we hadn't slept in days and I was sick too (and then Vince got it a few days later). Turns out Abby had a double ear infection and Will had one ear infection. These ear infections made the discussion of tubes come up and we left with a referral to an ENT. We also had to go back the next day to have the babies breathing checked again. Well we ended up at the doctor every single day that week and we got told that they both had developed RSV. Ugh. Something we had been trying to avoid and something we had been trying to work on getting them vaccinated for to help prevent this. It was a rough week full or sleepless nights, lots of snot, lots of tears, breathing treatments every 4 hours, 3 different types of antibiotics, countless boogie wipes, steam showers, 2 jars of vicks vapor baby rub, endless load of laundry, lots of snuggles and lots of hugs & kisses. It took a solid week for the babies to start feeling better-at their last trip to the doctor they there was finally more smiles than tears! It took me over a week and took Vince almost 2 weeks get get over that nasty bug.  And it completely ruined our Christmas vacation week. We had plans with friends for NYE, we had a mile long to do list for the house and fun things for the kids planned. But we managed to keep the babies out of the hospital so that's something we feel very lucky about!
