So, this last week Eve got really sick again. I mean, REALLY sick. It was a lot like last time. She was just lethargic. So lethargic, it was scary. I would try to wake her and she would open her eyes for a second and then they would roll back into her head and she would go to sleep again. It was like the poor little thing just didn’t have the effort to keep them open. This time, there was no vomiting or diarrhea but the whole lethargy thing had me wigged out. So, I took her to the dr. again and she sent me to have another RSV test done. They did it in the ER last time and it is awful. For those of you who haven’t seen it, they stick a swap so far up into her nose that it looks like they are scrambling her brain and every time, they bring it out bloody and her nose bleeds a little the rest of the day. No sooner had I gotten home, but they called….It was positive. AGH!!! Well, I guess we had it coming, it was the only thing she didn’t have last time! The Ped. just said to keep doing the breathing treatments and if she didn’t get better overnight, we would admit her. Luckily, about an hour later, she crawled down off of my lap (for the first time in 3 days) went over to Olivia and starting eating goldfish (crackers). The rest of the day, she played and ate and drank. Those little darlings really just “bounce” back!!
Anyway, this whole sickness thing is such a shock to me. O has never had so much as an ear infection or antibiotics and poor Eve!@ Luckily, it is over and I am really praying for healthiness the rest of the winter! We have an appt. on the 19th to get her first vacc.’s. We got that book “Vaccinations” by Dr. Sears and we are going to limit the amount of aluminum containing vacc.’s to 1 per visit and spread them out. Luckily, since she is so old, she won’t need some of them like the rotavirus……..
