Well, we are officially more homebound than ever before.
Isaiah and Mallory have both been diagnosed with RSV. Isaiah has had a pretty bad cold for the past couple of days, and it has progressed into a barky sounding cough. During the night last night, Mallory started the cough. I called the doctor's office this morning, and they were able to get them both in to be seen.
Let me tell ya' - that RSV swab did not look pleasant at all. My babies were both crying, and so was I. I've been doing some research, and I was surprised to learn that most children have RSV before the age of 2. I guess it just goes undiagnosed in most people. I'm really glad that I trusted my instincts this morning and called the doctor.
Isaiah and Mallory are both napping. (They've been napping at the same time - how lucky am I?!?!) For now we are pushing fluids and keeping the cool mist humidifier running. Mallory has another appointment with the doctor in the morning.
Obviously, the doctor's office is the only place we'll be going. I'm going to be the overprotective mother and keep my babies sheltered from the outside world.

I am praying for your babies! Call me and let me know how the dr goes.
Take care!
I am so sorry to hear that. At least you will be homebound when it is really chilly outside. I have a friend whose friend's 3 month old has it. And his older sister doesn't, so they sent his sister to my friend's house. It really is tearing the mom up that they are apart. But all looks good. Being over protective is your God given right. I would agree with that. You have to make sure they are well taken care of. That is your mommy duty and to give them extra cuddle time also if they so choose. Hope all gets better. They will all be fine. Just one bump in the road. That is all. Poor princess and booper. And poor mommy and daddy. Take care and remember to tag team.
Force Fields up! Gotta protect the little ones!
Well I know 2 really good Ped Pulmonologist if you need anything. I hope they get to feeling better!
