February: A Sick Month


Two weeks ago Elizabeth was diagnosed with RSV - a cold virus that can potentially become very serious and could lead to pneumonia. Thank God it didn't get any worse and all we had to do was provide pain relievers & neb treatments. David was great & took two days off to spend it with our Itty Bitty because we didn't want her to go to daycare and get anyone else sick.
Sunday night we noticed sores on her mouth, fingers and legs. Since Urgent Care was closed by that time, we took her in to the ER so that we knew what it was and whether she could go to daycare. Dx: the coxsackie virus, also called hand, foot, and mouth disease. Another week off of daycare. And now Daddy is down with the flu. I think we're ready to leave this ill February behind us!
