Noah with RSV or Pat after surgery... not sure which one is worse!!!

Noah has been a very sick little boy. It started with a trip to after hours on Tuesday evening with a 102 fever and a horrible cough. Diagnoised Bronchiolitis and upper respiratory infection, prescribed 2 days worth of steroids and antibiotics and to follow-up with Dr. Crittenden if cough doesn't sound better by Friday. So after being up all night Thursday night , We called Dr. Crittenden's office first thing Friday morning. They said get here as quickly and as safety as you can. We didn't even get Noah out of his PJ's just loaded him up in the car. We did a breathing treatment in the office, then the dr listened to him again and said yep he definitly has RSV and Bronchiolitis. So now he has steroids twice a day for 5 days, breathing treatment every 4hours, every 2 if needed) and finish prescribed antibiotics. He hasn't slept well or ate well and just doesn't feel good. I feel so bad for him. I wish I could make him feel better.

Then theres Pat after surgery........ "Honey, Will you put on my socks? Honey, will you button my pants? Honey, will you help me wash my hair? Honey, What are you thinking of doing for dinner??? Honey, will you check my status on my game?????

Here's an idea Pat NO!!!!!! I won't do that right this minute. I have been up for three days with our very sick son and was actually thinking about maybe taking a shower or taking a little nap while Noah sleeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, sorry I had to get that off my chest!

I'm sad that we are going to miss the baby dedication at church sunday. Noah is ordered to not be around ppl until at least Tuesday!!

Hope this week is treating you better! That is tough to have to care for a sick baby and a recovering husband! I have another friend doing it right now in NC (her husband hurt his shoulder really badly) and she has similar sentiments...but her baby is 17 months so I don't know if that is easier or harder!
