RSV :(

N has RSV   I knew something wasn't right yesterday but I was doubting myself because I feel like I take the boys to the doctor every week and they always tell me it's viral and there isn't anything we can do.  My MIL called about an hour after I dropped the boys off this morning and said she really thought N needed to be seen because he was sounding wheezy.  We took him to the doc and his oxygen level was only 89% when we got there.  I felt (and still do) awful for not taking him yesterday when I thought something was wrong.  They gave him a breathing treatment and his stats went up to 92%.  That's the bare minimum they look for in the hospital but the doctor was happy with that and sent us home with a nebulizer and instructions that if he needs more than 2 treatments in a day that we have to call.  He still sounded really wheezy to me when we left so I don't know how I'm going to know the difference tonight.  And to make me feel worse, I took him to the sitter yesterday against my better judgment so all of those kids have been exposed and she has a little baby there who is maybe 3 or 4 months old.  I feel craptacular.

I'm sorry to hear that Erin.  I know it sucks to see him so sick.  Don't beat yourself up though, there is no way you could have known, you've had them at the Dr. so much and they keep telling you it's nothing.  Hoping for a quick recovery for poor little N..

Poor N

Don't beat yourself up. Those of us who have kids at the sitter/daycare know (unless they live under a rock) that exposure is going to happen. Hopefully, no one else will get sick.

poor guy! I hope he gets better soon... And dont beat yourself up, you are a good mama... I am the same way with C, I never know when to call and when to let it takes its course...

Aw Erin.  I'm sorry.  Being a mom is so tough some days.  I felt like an idiot for taking Tyler to the doctor so many times in the last 2 weeks, especially when the doctor tells you "it's probably viral, you just need to ride it out."  I hate that advice.

You're not a bad person or a bad mom!  Stop thinking that, I order you.    I hope little N gets better very soon.

Man, your household has been hit HARD this winter. Poor things. You ALL need a break. I hope N is on the mend in no time.
