NO FUN AT ALL!!!!

One beautiful morning in February Trev woke up SICK!!! He was perfectly fine the night before when he went to bed, but that morning he had a pretty nasty fever and seemed to be struggling to breath. By noon he was in terrible shape so I got a Dr. appointment at 2:00. As the time went on he was getting so back he could hardly keep his eyes open. I left to the Dr. early thinking that if I got there early then they could squeeze him in. On the way I was watching him in the backseat and he was struggling to stay awake at all. I was reaching back and doing everything I could to make him come to but there he wouldn't pick his head up at all! So I did what I felt was best and that was to skip the Dr. appointment and go straight to the ER. They took one look at him and put him on oxygen and gave him a breathing treatment. After 4 hours in that place and tests they said he had RSV. So they sent us home with oxygen and saline breathing treatments and said it will take time to go away.
I had NO clue it was going to be as rough as it was! My poor little man was a bump on a log on the couch! There was no getting him to play. All he did was sleep :( Which was so heartbreaking to watch because this kid is nonstop action! John and I took turns sleeping with him because he was so uncomfortable and in pain that he just tossed and turned and would get tangled in his tubing. It was ten times worse than having a newborn! But as each day went on it got harder and harder for us to get any liquids down him. On day five I once again make an executive decision and we took him back to the ER for an IV! My mommy instincts just knew that if he could get his little tank filled up then he would be on the mend! Sure enough!! We brought him home that night and he slept all night for the first time since getting sick! From that day on he got better and better!! LOTS of prayers were being said for our poor Trever man and for that I am so thankful! We have some super awesome prayer warriors in our life!!
This RSV junk was so bad this year! I have never heard of so many kiddos getting it! In just our little playgroup there were four other babies that were down with it also! I am so glad summer is almost here and we can get outside in the fresh air all day long and not be stuck inside with sick bugs!
