It's official!

It's official, Owen has RSV. For what that is, check out these links. It is a virus and it is pretty common in Utah. He got it from his babysitters son, no surprise there. It is extremely contagious and I wish we would have had an RSV test last week.

I stayed home again today to chill with Owen and to go to the Doctor. We had a 2:30 appointment so I missed work completely. We went to see our really awesome Pediatrician. I highly recommend him, that is if you live in Utah near us. Anyways, he knew what was going on right away, ordered a test and got the diagnosis. Simple, and easy. Unfortunately the only thing to do is to wait it out and get a snot sucker, which is a pump that sucks all the stuff out of your nose. We had one delivered tonight from Praxair, a medical rental company, and it works awesome. Here is a link to an Aspirator pump. Looks similar to the one we got.

So the good thing is that we can all go back to work, and Owen can go to his babysitter. Since her kid has RSV, it won't matter Owen is still sick. His ears hurt bad from the ear infection, but he seems to be doing better today. I guess we will wait it out and get him to drink fluids and sleep and all that stuff that comes with a sick kid (including the industrial snot sucker). The only problem I see is that Kaz and I are sick and I got a little cough that won't go away with a sore throat. I guess I'm almost happy I got to stay home today because I feel bad. But I need to go to work to get some things done; I've missed too much work as it is.

I hope we all will feel better by this weekend, it's supposed to get up into the high 70's. And after it's snowed and been in the 50's this past week, I'm ready for some real spring time fun.
