EIGHT WEEKS!!!

Even though it doesn't show in these peaceful, happy pictures, we had a rough week. All week Baizley was fighting some congestion. By Friday night it had moved to her chest and she had a wicked cough. Sounded like she was a 2-pack-a-day smoker. On Saturday Baizley was diagnosed with RSV, our biggest fear! Luckily doctors thought we had one tough daughter and were okay with us taking her home and continuing our home remedies...saline, sucking snot and steam sessions. (And we had to go back to get checked out for the next two days.)


Here we are at the doctor on Sunday with some oxygen. Baizley refused to go back to those darn nasal canulas again, so thankfully they let us "mist" her with oxygen. Another plus of Sunday's trip to the doctor, she didn't have to go home on oxygen. Everything sounded good. Often with RSV, babies, especially as young as Baizley was--7 weeks, are placed in the hospital for treatment or at the very least sent home on oxygen for a week or so. Our kid is tough--quite the trooper. She was strong enough to just let the virus run its course. All we needed was one more trip to the doctor on Monday.

"Mommy NOOOO, please don't use that sucker thing on me, I hate it!"


Here is Baizley giving RSV the old "one-two" punch. It's not going to get her down.


Throughout our first bout with being sick, Baizley has been an amazing kid. She continues to smile and coo between the hacking coughs. She is getting better day by day, less congestion, however the nasty cough continues to linger. Baizley is just so sweet...we love her to pieces!!!
