In the hospital with RSV

Well, we thought we got through RSV season but it looks like we couldn't avoid it. Riley's cough started to get worse yesterday so I took him into the pediatrician. He sounded ok and I was given a prescription for some sort of presnidone. Gave that to him twice yesterday and he coughed so hard that he threw up. His cough started to sound wet so I called the after hours number and talked to the pediatrician on call. He told us to come to the ER for a chest x-ray and a stronger nebulizer treatment.

We got to the ER around 11pm . Chest x-ray was clear but Riley had an uncontrollable cough and his chest was really tight. Finally, around 6am, the doctor told us that his RSV test had come back positive and that we were going to be admitted. We got up to the pediatrics wing shortly before 11am and Riley is finally sleeping comfortably. He has a nasal cannula to keep his O2 sats up and we're planning on being here at least 2 days.

Ian is at home with the kids and luckily I can use a hospital grade pump while I'm here so I can keep up my supply for Addison.

I've got to get a few things done before he wakes up. Please keep him in your thoughts.
