What a Week!
This week has been pretty bad, Parker has come down with RSV which is an upper respiratory infection. I have been home with him since Tuesday and we are hoping he gets to feeling better soon. He has had fever, a cough, and a really runny nose which are all symptoms of this infection. The only symptom Parker does not have is wheezing and I hope he doesn't start. The doctor saw him on Tuesday and didn't see anything wrong and just figured he had a cold. He told me about the RSV that was going around and told me the symptoms to look for just in case and we went on ahead and got Parker's 4 month shots. That evening he started running a high fever and has had fever since then ranging from 103 down to 99. When we took Parker back to the doctor on Thursday we told Dr. Glass what was going on and he ran tests for flu, pneumonia, and RSV and checked his blood count, the tests came back positive for RSV. So here we are! Parker has to have breathing treatments 4 times a day and he gets Tylenol every four hours, not to mention I am constantly cleaning his nose which he hates. This infection is going around here in Lufkin and we found out our friends Clint and Tisha's baby Cayne has it and also our friends Brandon and Amy's baby Delaney has that and pneumonia and is in the hospital. Please pray for baby Delaney. Anyway so that has been our week, I hope everyone is doing well and has a good weekend!
