Aden

I took Aden to the doctor yesterday for a 4:30p appointment.  We didn't get in to see the doctor until 6:30p.  He has a pretty bad cough and congestion.  The doctor is watching him for RSV infection (Respiratory Syncytial Virus), which is a viral disease of the lungs.  She explained it as a severe cold in adults, but infants and children have a much harder time fighting it off.  He is not running a fever which is a good sign.  We want to make sure it doesn't spread to his lungs.  Right now, he is on an inhaler every couple of hours and is best if he stays upright.  RSV season is now until March.  Breastfed babies seem to handle it better than formula, so luckily I am still breastfeeding.  He doesn't have much appetite and is sleeping much more than normal.  We are staying inside this weekend!

Rainey was sick last week with congestion and is finally getting better.  I guess that's how the story goes, as one gets better, the other gets sick.  Let's hope we can break this cycle.
