We made a wrong turn...

...on the road to recovery. Vanessa is not getting better at all. She woke up this morning struggling to breath. I took her in to the doctor again and she has RSV. She's on steroids and breathing treatments 4 times a day and must be quarantined for at least 2 weeks!! She had a chest x-ray after the appointment to determine whether or not she has pneumonia. If she does, we have to admit her into the hospital. **update-- no pneumonia**

If you need us, we'll be at home.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope that sweet Vanessa is feeling better soon. She is such a happy baby it must be hard seeing her not feeling well. Please please let me know if I can help in any way.

Wow....not fun! I had to be at home for 2 weeks also. I had a lot of sleepless nights. If you need anything even dinner you let me know. Poor Vanessa! I hate RSV! It hits our little babies pretty hard. The only positive thing is that you get a lot of bonding time with your little one.
Little Vanessa will be in our prayers.

I'm sorry to hear that she got RSV, it is not fun to deal with. Not to tell you what to do but you might want to stay quarantined a ittle longer than that. Once you've had RSV it's very easy to get again. That's what our docs told us.We'll keep you in our prayers. If you have any questions about what expect give me a call.

Poor little Vanessa, I am so glad that it is not pneumonia though. At least you get to stay at home and take care of her there. I know I said it earlier today but if you need anything call and I am more than happy to pick up Savvy and let her come and play at my house so that she can at least get out. Just let me know.
