RSV
December 11, 2007macy has rsv. you wouldn’t know it most of the time, because she’s still pretty energetic. she gets a little fussier than normal when she’s tired, but other than that, she’s her typical happy self. she does have a nasty cough and a nose like a faucet though.
the doctor sent home a nebulizer machine. have you ever tried to give a nebulizer treatment to a wiggly, squirmy toddler? not exactly fun! at least tonight, i had mike’s help. the nurse had me give macy a treatment at the doctor’s office today…by myself. it did not go well, to say the least!
speaking of the doctor’s office…i know they have a lot of patients, a lot of sick children, especially this time of year. but i left there not having a clue what rsv was, or how to really use the nebulizer, how often to give the treatment, etc. i do know that macy received the rsv vaccine as an infant. guess that didn’t work out too well!
better run…little miss sunshine is ready for her bath!
