So sick

On Friday I contacted Nicole's pediatrician about her cough.  After describing her symptoms they told me to run her down to the ER to be checked out.  I was of course a worry wart and nervous about this.  Did I miss something, is something really wrong.  All of these things went thru my mind.  We were seen rather quickly at the ER, from what I could hear it was a baby filled day there.  They gave Nicole her first chest x-ray and not her last she needs another one next week.  The doc came into see us and said that Nicole has pneumonia and RSV.  I was shocked.  He said that she looks great her stats are good and she seems to be a really happy baby.  But after looking at her films he saw something in her lungs.  Oh my poor baby.  The doc said that there was nothing I could have done differently for her.  So now she is on amoxicilin.  This whole week she has been eating only a little even though she loves to eat.  Well today so far she is inhaling the food.  I think this is a good sign.  She didnt seem as fussy either.  Now both me and Jake are sick.  So much for pumping ourselves full of vitamins to ward off illness.  I have never seen Jake sick this many times in all our years together combined.  Hopefully we get well.
