Bronchiolitis

Quick update... Poor Ellie has bronchiolitis! Which apparently, is similar to RSV. I guess it's like a baby cold that kicks their butts! Ellie has been doing breathing treatments since Tuesday night--which she hates, of course. And now that she has had this virus, she has a 30% more chance of having asthma later. And factor in genetics, I figure the poor girl has about a 50/50 chance of having it! UGH!

She's coughing and sneezing, but overall seems to still be pretty playful, so that's good, right? She is sleeping at night (of course aided by our friend Infant Tylenol)! Her appetite is down a little, but I'm sure that's pretty normal...

As of today, her cough seems WORSE and her snot is pouring out... but everyone tells me that is normal and good. The Dr. said only to worry if she started running a fever and had labored breathing.

This sucks!


Here is a pic of my good friend Jade and her baby from last week... same deal!
