Well, it is Saturday morning and Shelby and I just got back from the doctor's office. Shelby has RSV causing bronchealitis. She has been running a low grade temperature for the last few days, has a cough, and a runny nose. Unfortunately, it is not bacterial so her little body is going to have to fight it on its own. We do have to give her breathing treatments to help her breathing/wheezing. Christmas was filled with sick people on both sides of our family and Ross is on antibiotics and sick at the moment also; thus, it was inevitable. The doctor said she will be sick for about a week and if it gets really bad to call her. She did say that she has the advantage of being breast fed and should not get really bad because of this. Of course Grandma Leyendecker, R.N. is out of town until Tuesday and is in the boonies where her cell phone doesn't work. Somehow Shelby is still very smiley...amazing.....I hope to be posting better news soon.
Linda - I know you read the blog....when the doctor told me RSV all I could think about was when Colton was in Texas Children's ICU with RSV. I hope little Kade makes it thru cold season without dealing with any of this.

You KNOW how sorry I am to hear about the RSV!! We have been so careful with Kade but Colton was recovering from some awful crud during their visit. We're keeping our fingers crossed and battling tummy problems. Kara had another friend in Katy whose baby (just older than Kade)has been hospitalized with a virus similar to RSV! Bet Shelby will be fine. . . I think Colton was an extreme case. Good luck!!
