RSV

So I took Kasen to the doctor on Friday and found out he has RSV. He started the coughing and sneezing and runny nose on Wednesday night, he never ran fever and he wasn't having difficulty breathing or wheezing. I woke up on Friday thinking, I bet it is just a cold I probably shouldn't take him anyways, BUT I already have the appointment so we will go anyways. We got there and she said "I think it's just the cold that Braden had last week, but lets do the RSV swab just in case, I really don't think that is what it is, but lets be safe." So they did the swab, and she came back in and said "well, we were both wrong, he has RSV. But thankfully we caught it early and he isn't wheezing" So we are doing oral steroids and hoping an praying that it kicks it and we wont have to do breathing treatments! He seems to be better today, he is still coughing pretty bad but is a happy little guy today!

  1. oral steroids?! I wish Kirsten could have done those! Is it helping?

    Kirsten started getting sick again last night so we immediately started breathing treatments.
