Lizzie has gotten worse so I took her into the doctor. They did a nose swab (poor girl) and she definitely has RSV. We are going to stay home until her symptoms go away, which by the way, could be 1 to 3 weeks. Well then...We did get a nebulizer rented and I think we'll see good results. I'm supposed to put some drops of something or other in it so we went to the pharmacy to pick it up but Medicaid didn't cover it. When they called the doctors office so we could try to get something else, it was of course closed for lunch and would reopen in half an hour. I decided we could just stroll around Macey's and wait. Well, it ended up taking almost an hour from that point so by the time we left Lizzie was starving (although you couldn't tell from looking at her. She was all lathargic and still, just staring out of her car seat,) and Edin was loopy because it was past nap time. And I wouldn't be a women if I didn't find some more things to buy while I waited: popcorn chicken, peppermint ice cream, pringles, and some healthy stuff, I guess...V8 Splash fruit juice.
Everytime I think about my itty bitty being sick I want to cry. She's even lost weight. I think a couple of months ago she was 13 lbs and now she's like 12 lbs 10 oz. Doesn't seem like much but she's two months older. She should be growing. She is much more mobile now so she's probably lost some chub but she's stronger too and should have gained muscle. Either way, I'm depressed about it. It's so hard to see my baby sick. I know it won't last long. My baby is a fighter.
Edin is improving. He doesn't hack non-stop through the night. That's a good sign. But he is being such a little pill lately. He says he's tired and wants to go "na night" as we call it. Sure, great. I'm happy. But thenI hear him playing in there. Two days now I have caught him out of bed, pants off and diaper AWAL. Actually yesterday he took it off twice. The second time he said "uh oh" becuase he had peed on this chair. What a turkey!! It's kind of funny to realize that some kids are takig off their diaper at like a year and it took Edin till he was two to figure it out. We only showed him how to get it off so he could learn to go use the toilet. And he's not even doing that. Life goes on.

Sounds like life is pretty rough!! Poor Lizzie and Edin! I really hope they recover quickly. That's no fun at all. I hope you don't get sick (and James doesn't get the cohort sick either). In a week or so, hopefully you'll be able to relax and enjoy some fun activities by yourself without worrying about the kids.
I'm sorry. that sucks big time to see your little baby sick. and what chub are you talking about?? She had no chub! She was like a feather. Anyway, I hope she feels better soon. I'll be praying for you guys- note to self (keeps kids away from sick kids)
Zack had rsv. It was hard to get through. At least they have some treatment options for you.
