WHAT THE....?
Cate woke up during the middle of the night on friday and was coughing hard and was having a hard time breathing. So I took her to the doctor on Friday morning where she threw up on me and the doctor. They suctioned out her nose and tested it for RSV because she was wheezing really bad. That test came back negative so they sent it for further testing. In the meantime they put her on a steroid and sent me home with a nebulizer. The poor thing was so sick all day Friday all she did was sleep in my arms. Saturday was a little better but not much. They called me today and told me her tests came back positive for rhinovirus. What the heck is Rhinovirus? They said her oxygen levels were OK so to keep up the breathing treatments until her cough goes away. If she gets worse at all bring her directly back in. It's a lot like the common cold it just gets in their lungs and makes it hard to breathe. I feel like I cant win with this little stink the poor thing gets sick so easily. The breathing treatments are awful because she hates them and screams the entire time. I feel so bad because I have to restrain her arms and legs to even get it done. I just feel so bad for the poor little thing!!

Poor witto Cate. It's no fun to be sick in the summer. I hope she gets better soon. This cold season has been fun for you eh?
That is CRAZY! My sister's little boy just got out of the hospital with the same thing! I had never heard of it until last week. Looks like it is going around! Hope she gets feeling better soon!
She sounded so sad last night. Did the car ride work? Hang in there sis. Maybe now would be a good time for you to start up Dawson's Creek or something.
There is nothing worse than sick kids! Poor little thing. I hope she gets feeling better soon:)
I'm sorry Shelb. It's hard when they keep getting sick over and over. They're so sad...you're so sad...We'll say a prayer for the little schmumfy.
