Once again, Taylors rendezvous with RSV over Christmas continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. This past week I had to keep Taylor at home from daycare due to some very cruddy sounding lungs and a low grade fever. Poor kid was crabby as all hell too, so you could tell that she just didn't feel good. After a visit to the pediatrician we discovered that a number of respiratory bugs are going around this year, and apparently already having RSV once and going to daycare has made Taylor a magnet for illness. For the time being she is on not one, but two different inhalers. Another unfortunate side effect is the fact that sleep seems to be a miserable task for her as well. She has spent several nights waking herself (and us) up from coughing. It even got so bad one night I totally caved and stuck her in bed with us just so that we could get some rest. She is slowly starting to bounce back, but unfortunately this bug has hit her fairly hard, and she is still junky sounding and also really cranky. Hopefully it will pass soon, and maybe we can get through the last little bit of spring without any more bugs!
Lounging on the couch watching, "Wonder Pets." Since she had to stay home a day I wanted her to be a little sedentary.
