Anika has RSV!! I have no idea how she got it because no one else is sick and she doesn't have exposure to other kids. It hit her so fast. She went from a little congested sounding this morning to fever and snotty, coughing and rapid breathing this evening. I'm sitting here now just listening to her breathe over the baby monitor. I can tell that I won't get any sleep tonight. So far she is still eating (not as much as normal, but enough). This is the first year that Jack was denied Synagis shots. They're shots of anti-RSV immunoglobulin (antibody). The pediatrician said that if Jack does catch RSV from Anika that it will likely be just a head cold since he's older. Maybe I'm pessimistic but I don't agree. I hope we don't find out. We're trying to segregate them as much as possible but realistically there's not a whole lot I can do to protect him as long as we're all in the same house. Please keep your fingers crossed that Anika fights this off quickly and Jack doesn't get sick. Jack didn't get his first cold until he was around 15 months old. It's weird for me to see Anika sick like this. I don't know how to help her.
I'll try to update again tomorrow and if I have time I will upload the Halloween pictures too!
