Poor little guy!

A couple weeks ago I had to take Harrison in to the doctor because he had a bad ear infection (I felt like a horrible mother because I wasn't for sure if he had one earlier, but then his symptoms seemed to go away after a day or two so I thought he was fine, but then about a week later yucky infection stuff started coming out of his ear!) Then on Sunday he started having cold symptoms. On Tuesday he had a 102 degree fever and 101 degree fever on Wednesday with a deep cough and loss of appetite and energy as well as fast breathing at night, so on Thursday I took him in to see what was up. I was debating on whether I should just wait it out, but since we were going to be around a lot of family with little kids this weekend I figured I better be safe than sorry. After a few tests and a chest X-ray I found out he has RSV and another ear infection! Poor guy! Good thing I took him in. I think I was inspired to go. He's actually acting like his normal, mischievious, curious little self now with his appetite coming back, but he still has a deep cough and runny nose. So he is quarantined from all babies and toddlers for 10 days, which of course means I can't work today and all of next week. Not exactly my idea of a week vacation, but if it means helping Harrison get better and not exposing other kids to it, then I'm OK with it. He also got some albuterol to help him breathe easier if he needs it. He seems to have a harder time breathing at night, so we give it to him then. Glad I didn't have to go through this with the other two kids!
