Dylan's sick

[L33H05WALD]

Well Dylan has been sick all weekend, and we found out today, that he has 2 ear infections, 1 in each ear, and he also has RSV, so he has been completely miserable, Yesterday, when I got home at 4, I did nothing but hold him until Em got home, and then she held him so I could cook dinner, but if you didn't hold him, he would scream. So hopefully he will feel better for Christmas.

That sucks... but what is RSV??

[Andrea]

RSV stand for respiratory syncytial virus.  It is a respiratory virus common in young children, mostly premies.  It can be life threatening to them mostly and make older babies really sick and miserable.  It is a very contagious disease, so those who come to the hospital are isolated to help prevent the spread of it.  So no Jake or Jordyn over to visit until he is completely better. 
I am so sorry you two, that must be really hard.  Good luck, and take good care of that sweet little baby.

that suck. and jordyn is getting sick too. so no kids around mine either. but i am hoping its just a cold and not worse

LOL, Jake has a cold as of yesterday too.  They are friends and get sick around the same time, huh.  Wonder if our kids sneak out of the house and hang out together after we go to bed?!

Well now, Dylan has Pink Eye too when it rains, it pours, and now Em has strep.

What is it with this time of year and every one of us getting sick, whether us and/or our kids??  It is not fair.  I think it is a conspiracy.  Tonight my back was killing me for some reason that I still cannot explain.  Then it started getting better and now my throat really hurts.  I don't like winter at all.  It is too cold and everyone gets sick!!  AAArrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I am glad I am half-way around the world. Because the most I have had is a runny nose, but that always happens to me around winter.

[Andrea]

Well just pin a rose on your little nose, aren't you the lucky one!!!  You snot, I don't want to hear it unless you are sick like the rest of us. 
Just kidding, I am glad that someone is doing well and not having to deal with all this sickness.  Of course, you look at me and see that I am around sickness all the time.  Mostly at work, but also recently at home.  Oh well, that is what comes from living in Utah.
