RSV

We took Sophie to the doctor today since she still had a fever after 2.5 days. Normally, I would not take her for a cough/runny nose until day 10 (Dr. Young and staff finally got through to me). But the nurse and I agreed that 2.5 days with fever over 100 is too long. So in we went and he suspected RSV right away. They did a lovely culture (poor Soph) and got us set up with a nebulizer to try in the office. That went over like a ton of bricks with Sophie, but we finished and she slept for a bit. Culture came back positive and so we were sent home with a nebulizer of our very own and a scrip for albuterol. Breathing treatments are to continue 3x a day till 1/29 and she should be ok to be around other kids 1/30. Poor baby!!
