So....today was officially the day my vacation was supposed to end. Back to school I was headed. BUT, Sophia had other plans in mind. While I would like to say I'm at home today because I just needed another Mommy Day, that just isn't the case.
What I didn't include on the birthday post was how things went around here on Saturday night. To make a really long story short, we were up until the early morning hours with Sophia. Bath at 1:30 am, and then finally to bed. The cold that we thought she had, seemed to be getting worse, and a fever hit her at about 5:30 that just would not go down. By the time things started to seem bad, it was too late (or too early...) for Urgent Care, so we decided to get her calmed down and to sleep and that we'd take her in the morning if it didn't seem like things were getting better.
She slept until 8:30, so after a bottle, a shower for mom and dad, and getting dressed, we headed to Urgent Care at 11am, and we didn't leave until almost 3:30/4pm! A long wait in the waiting room, and even longer wait in the exam room. ugh. But Sophia was such a good girl, all the while they were probing her and listening to her, and swabbing her for tests.
It finally came back that she tested positive for the virus RSV. While I had heard about this before, I didn't know the full effects. The doctor explained that the virus constricts the airway, which makes it hard to breathe. That's why we had heard her with a wheezing sound and a horrible sounding cough. So he gave us (or rather, at a hefty price, we had to rent) a nebulizer and got a prescription for breathing treatments.

So, while I am supposed to be at school today, I'm here loving on my little girl the best I can. It's so hard when the kiddos get sick this young. They can't just tell you what they want or how they are feeling. So one minute she wants me to hold her and the next she wants down. Then she wants to eat, then she doesn't eat a thing. Then she wants a toy, and then she wants nothing to do with it. :( I just wish there were some way to translate what she wants and needs at this time. So I will give her the best that I can, my love.
We are so super blessed to have family in town to help too. I had no idea that a baby could eat up almost all of my sick days so quickly~ So with that, we are extremely grateful to have family who loves Sophia as much as we do, who would do anything at the drop of a hat to be here with her. Tomorrow is Grandma Sue day! Thank you Grandma Sue!
Wednesday is Sophia's actual birthday. So we'll keep you posted and we're hoping our little Love-Bug is feeling more like herself for her special day.
