Boooo RSV!

I wanted to get on here to post about Claire being 4 months old, but unfortunately I have to share a very sad picture of her and her breathing treatments. I took her to the doctor on Sunday be/c she had an icky cough and she tested positive for RSV (respiratory some word I can't remember virus) which is really running rampid right now-it is basically a lower respiratory tract infection. It is so sad because she coughs and then cries as if it hurts. She also has a double ear infection so she is on antibiotics twice a day and breathing treatments three times a day. Ahhhh, the memories. Taylor used to have to do breathing treatments frequently when he was a baby (pretty much every time he got sick he got it bad in his chest-they said he was asthmatic but somehow outgrew it-THANK GOD!) I have included a picture of Taylor getting his first treatment below Claire's. We went back to the doctor today and they said she is doing better already and her oxygen saturation levels are good and her wheezing sounds better so they are positive she will be fine soon-the doctor said we are officially allowed around people again starting Thursday :) We are happy to have gotten the best outcome possible with RSV!
