Poor Sick Baby

This is the first full week back to work and back to daycare in 2008. Sebastian had been so sick the prior two weeks with RSV. Back before Christmas he had been sick with two ear infections and we did ALL the antibiodics and was on the road to recovery. During Christmas he began pulling on his ears again and I was afraid that we didn't get the ear infections taken care of, so the day after Christmas, Daddy took him back to see Dr. Dye. He said our ears were all clear, but he was cutting his back teeth and that was probably causing the ear pulling. He was a little congested, so he gave him something for that. So, went through another week and the congestion got worse and then we started coughing and running a fever. Our fever got to 102 on New Years night, so back to the doctor we went. He checked him all over and asked if he went to daycare. I said, "yes", so we did the RSV swab. We were waiting patiently for the results when Dr. Dye walks in with the "he's sick" look on his face and he said the words we hated to hear "He has RSV"!!! We were lucky that we got to go home and not to the hospital. We took all of our medicine and our breathing treatments every 4 hours just like we were told. After several days, we started to see an improvement. I was so glad to see my little man start to get life back into his face after being so sick. Because he had RSV, he couldn't go back to daycare for a whole week and Mommy got to stay home and love him and take care of him. I hated that he had to be sick, but I really loved getting to stay home with him and had he not been sick, we would've had such a wonderful time.
