Logan’s been sick for a few days now…..the most irritating symptoms being fever, coughing, wheezing, and heavy breathing.   This has made him very uncomfortable, instead of his normal happy baby self.   After a couple of visits to the Doctors and waiting for the lab results we finally have them a name for the problem.  Logan is positive for RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)

   The good thing is we now know what we are up against…the bad thing is it can take one or two weeks for the symptoms to clear.  If he still has his fever tomorrow we may have to take him in for lung x-rays to see if he has pneumonia as well.  Right now we are doing the home remedies of: Tylenol (alternating with ibuprofen), cool/warm misters, nose suction, and every 4 hours performing a nebulizer treatment (the hospital lent us the device).

Not nice to see our little one so unhappy.
