RSV

Harrison has RSV - poor kid has a cough like a chain smoker. The doctor says to watch for dehydration and increased difficulty breathing... so far so good, but I hate seeing him uncomfortable. All 3 of the kids started with runny noses Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, light cough Wednesday, moderate coughs Wednesday night, Thursday group doctors visit. Emma and Carson are dealing fine and have learned to run when I come towards them with a tissue... it is now a game - "tissue chase" we all love it (heavy sarcasm there). But baby isn't big enough to deal as well. The doctor gave us some instructions and ordered a breathing treatment and "suction" at the hospital if tonight doesn't go well. Thankfully his Dad and Uncles were here to give him a blessing. Hopefully we won't need the extra treatment.

when Miles got it last year, they gave me a nebulizer (sp?) and treatments to do at home. Maybe they don't do that in Utah. I hope all goes well too. I hate it when kids are sick. Sorry!

Thinking of you! I am sure this inversion isn't helping. Thank heaven for dad's and uncle's who have the priesthood. Love you!
