Two weeks ago:
Tuesday evening: Lexi coughs twice
Wednesday afternoon: Lexi is really crabby and won't nap. We stay home from church
Thursday: Lexi coughs more. I call MD and schedule appt for Friday afternoon.
Friday: Lora falls out of bed and breaks her collarbone at 6am. We go to MD at 8:30am and confirm break with x-rays. Also confirm that Lexi has a bad cold. Nothing in lungs.
Friday night: Lexi gets a fever of 100.2 MD says if gets to 100.4, go to ER
Saturday AM: Lexi is better. We drive to Springfield to meet my sister and she drives us to Chicago. Once in Chicago we have appetizers at my brother's house and head out to dinner with my sister, brother, Alicia, mom, Laura's mother-in-law, and her friend. During dinner, LExi's fever gets to 100.4 and we decide to head to Chicago Children's ER. Upon arrival, fever is 101.5. When checked in, they do a chest x-ray, urine test, and breathing treatment. She is better by midnight and we head to hotel.
Sunday AM: We pick up Laura's wedding dress and our bridesmaid dresses. Sunday night Lexi coughs all night.
Monday AM: Back to MD who confirms RSV and bronchiolitis. We come home with breathing treatments (albuterol)
Tuesday: Mom comes in town to watch Lexi and help us for 2 days - MUCH NEEDED RELIEF AND HELP!!
Wednesday: Lexi seems almost 100% better!!
I had to post the timeline to never forget 7 of the most stressful days in my life. Having a sick baby (and one with a broken collarbone) was horrible! And, at the end of the year when I wonder where all my $$ went, I can remember that it went towards the co-pays and deductibles we just had to pay!
