Update - RSV

[Momma_Love]

Sorry ladys that I have not updated anyone on this hole RSV issue since Tuesday morning!

Its been crazy around here.
Tuesady I got to the hospital, everything was going ok! He still had no IV they did not want to put it back unless they had to - so we had to push push push fluids, having little to no luck at that!! He wouldnt eat he would chew his food up and spit it out!! He was not running anymore fevers though!! That was nice! I spent all day with Ian at the hospital, and Jonathan was with Landon - who he had to take in to the clinic! Landons test for RSV came back negative at 230pm! Although he was not sounding that good the DR just told Jon to watch him that things could change quickly!! I had a moment to go to the store to get some things for Ian - so I got him some bug juice that he loves, bannanas, and grapes!! He took his juice sipped on it for a few minutes, then started dumping it! The grapes he ate about 5 of them, then just chewed them and spit them aswell! Same with the banana took a couple bites then was done! So he did take in a little, but still not enough! So they told us he was in for the night!! My aunt showed up 'gamma' (she raised me so she is grandma to the boys more like my mom, but I still refure to her as my aunt) she had me go home for dinner, rest, and do some cleaning!! Well before I could even get dinner completly done she called - She needed a carseat!! He was released from the hospital!! She was able to get him to drink some of her diet coke, and eat a candy bar!! Go figure he would take the junk! It was enought to please the DR, and he was starting to be nearly impostable to contane to one little hospital room! So they let him go!! Well Jon, Landon, and I all went up to the hospital to go through the discharge with Ian. The DR decided to check Landon over before we went back home, because we all felt that he was starting to sound a little worse then he had earlier in the day! Then it happened!! They had to admit him into the ER, and run crazy tests all over again! X-Rays, more blood, and culters!!

It came back POSTIVE!!! Now both of my babys had RSV!! Now this is the 5th time Landon has had something respetory wrong in his 4 short months!!! I broke out in tears as soon as I heard!! I was filled with Joy just 30 minutes ago, so excited to take my monster home... then to find out my little man is sick aswell!! He was not hospitalized we were able to brink Landon home - big breath!! I was so happy to get out of the hospital!! I pray we don't go back there anytime soon! Anyway - They put Landon on treatments aswell, anti b, and priscription vitamins!! They also gave him a couple shots in the ER before we went home!
Now its Wed - and its been one LONG day!!
First thing this morning I had to make a special trip to the Drug store to get all of the prescriptions for the boys - I walked out of there with 2 bags full of medications! Ian is such a fight to get him to take any meds, but he is doing great! He has a cough still, but he seems to be happy! He is resting more then ususal, but he is playing and everything as usual also! Landon he seemed amazing this morning, but later this afternoon he seemed to be weezing more - so we have just had to watch him super close make sure he has no apnia spells!!!

Ian was so very happy to be home. Jon brough him home with granama, then jon came back to the hospital with Landon and I - on Jons way out the door Ian said 'give me kiss, now hug, now go bye' and thats not normal at all - he always gets so mad if someone gos out the door without him!! So we knew he was happy to be home!
Landon - after a long talk about the issues that we have had with Landon eating, and being sick the DR refured us to a Pediatriesion in Bismark - about 3 hours away from us!! To have a second opinion, and see if they might have some answeres for us!! I pray that gos well!!
My little man has had such a rough 4 months of life already!! I just want him to be healthy and happy - he sure is happy, but seems to always be sick!! The DR thinks she has an answer, but she wants us to get the second opinion before we do anything about it!! I am so greatful for that!
Anyway - I have spent the hole day disinfecting my hole house!! From top to bottom, and every little corner of it!! I only have out bedrooms left to do - so that will wait tell tomorrow... for the night we are all camping out in the living room!!
I am so wore out!! I do not think I have ever been this stressed, worried, and tired all at the same time before!!
I just pray that my boys get over this... once that is done we have the new stress of how to pay for all of the new dr bills!! Our insurance is up, and we are waiting for the new one to start in April!! Joy!!
Thank you for reading all of this - much love to everyone, and thank you for all of your support, and prayers during this time!! I am so thankful for all of you wonderful ladies her on cafemom!!

Best of wishes!
