RSV Update

The frustrating thing about RSV is the fact that there really is not much of a timeline involved. She could recover quickly or it could take weeks! Fortunately, I have seen some positive changes in Annie.

• She has a bit more energy, or tries to have more. She will play on the floor for a while. When she gets tired, she will either reach up to me, asking to pick her up or lay her head on the floor and suck her thumb.

• The sleeping during the day is decreasing. Although this may seem like a negative thing, it is positive! She used to sleep all day long (just like anyone would do when one is sick). Now she is taking one-two hour naps. She is still struggling with her sleep at night.
• Today was her first day without any Tylenol or Ibuprofen and she never had a fever! This was a huge relief. Hopefully it continues!
• Last but not least, her cough has improved. She no longer coughs during the day, just a little at night.

Overall, Annie still is not back to her normal self. I can tell she is trying and fighting this the best that she can, bless her heart. She is still congested, but works really hard so that is does not hinder her nursing and eating. Despite all of the worries and stress, I am loving her snuggly attitude. Annie lets me rock her to sleep by simply lying her head on my shoulder and closing her eyes... no crying.

I will most likely be taking her back into the Doctor for another checkup next week. I will give more updates then. As for now, we greatly appreciate all of the prayers and support. It would be awfully hard to get through this without all of the love! I know Annie appreciates everything too :)
