Where Are You Spring?

Spring can not come for our home soon enough. Last weekend John was very sick with what we assumed to be RSV. Well here we are on weekend number 2 and John is doing much better except for a cough, but Audrey is ill. She has a confirmed case of RSV, and is really struggling with a runny nose, puffy eyes, sore throat , wheezing and a fever:( For those of you who dont know what RSV is, "Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that causes respiratory infections. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the bronchioles within the lungs) and pneumonia among infants and children under one year of age." We have started her on breathing treatments, and they really do seem to be helping as long as she takes them on a regular basis. So needless to say I am ready for winter to say its goodbyes and take a hike. Then just maybe both my kids will make a full recovery and we can resume a some what normal schedule. Until then we will continue to check temperatures, wipe sore runny noses, run vaporizers, give breathing treatments, rub on the vicks, and of course lots of snuging & prayers :)
