Sick? Ick.


Plans for a relaxing weekend at home were thwarted when we had to take Micah to the ER. I knew he'd had a cough and stuffy nose so we had him tested last Monday for infection--everything was negative. However, when I picked him up from daycare on Thursday, the worker told me he slept almost the entire 4 hours and had nothing to eat-I knew something wasn't right. He was wheezing. So I took him over to Magnolia RHC and they admitted him that night and started an IV--tests showed he has RSV. There had been an outbreak at his daycare. Four days later, here we are back at home with a long list of medications. But lest anyone out there worry about us, I am posting a photo of Micah taken this afternoon. As you can see, he's doing ok now, albeit a little more cranky than usual :-) He's demonstrating his latest penchant for devouring his right hand! Thanks to all who were praying and sending good thoughts our way. Now the hard part will be sending him back to daycare when he gets better.
