Soooo, to sum that all up, took Stetson to the Dr on Monday cuz he started wheezing real bad and went downhill Thursday when we got home last week. He has RSV and is completely and utterly miserable. He's so congested, coughing, running a high temp, not eating, breathing treatments every 3 hours, he just lays there and cries when he's awake. Luckily he has been pretty much sleeping all day. I feel so bad for him. Makes me so sick to have to sit there and watch him suffer and not be able to help him at all. In case you don't know, RSV has no cure, no meds to help it, it just has to run its course and you have to sit there and watch your 4 month old struggle to breath. SUCKS. Dr. W told us not to leave town until he was on the up side of all this, just in case he were to need to go to the hospital. I personally don't feel comfortable and ready to leave just yet.

The girls have both been hacking and coughing for a few days now and last night they both started running fever. The night before, they both threw up. Thank the good Lord above, it was just one time. It was the saddest thing ever! They had no clue what was going on and it scared them. Madelynn went first so we got her all cleaned up, changed the sheets, and were putting them back to bed and there goes Payton.... so we started the whole process over again. They're both feeling yucky this morning too. One good thing is all of this is getting it outta the way and they'll all be better at one time.

I am a packer, I am a planner, I pack 14 pairs of clothes (exaggerating) for each kid when we travel and I pack plenty for all extremes. Hot, cold, freezing, snowing, sweating. I also bring all the dirty laundry when we come visit cuz its much easier for me to do here... so I know that we'll have plenty of everything for them. Did I do that this "short" visit??? Nope. Did I bring their dirty clothes this time around?? Nope. So I have 1 pair of jammies for each kid, and a couple outfits. Nothing comfortable and loose for Stetson... cuz after all, we were just coming for a short little 2 day visit. Grrr.... Isn't that just about right??? So needless to say were doing lots of laundry.

Nat has to go back today cuz he goes back on call tonight. :( I just hope we can be together for Christmas. Hopefully we'll be able to go back home before then, but if not I hope that they'll let Nat off to come be with us..... and I'm tired, and upset about Nat leaving, and I'm exhausted, but more than anything I am thankful that even tho Nat has to go, I'm still gonna have tons of help!!!!

Pray for us.
