Pneumonia and RSV
So last week when my back finally started feeling better, Zoey started getting sick. We were up most of Tuesday night doing breathing treatments and downing motrin. Wednesday night was much the same. Thursday, I had to work so Zoey went to stay with my dad and stepmom. He is an RN and she is a respiratory therapist. Dad told me that Zoey needed to see a doc, because pneumonia has been going around and you could feel the rattle in her chest. So I called off work for Friday and got her in to see the doctor. And yes she has pneumonia and RSV too. We were in the doctor gettin x-rays, and lab work done and all that fun stuff for about an hour and a half. The fever still hadn't broken completely so on top of the inhaler and antibiotic she was still downing motrin. From Tuesday to Sunday, we used an entire bottle of motrin. Sunday morning was still rough and I was thinking maybe we should call the doctor and tell her that ZJ wasn't getting much better. She just layed around and slept most of the morning. For those of you who know ZJ, she does NOT lay around ever. But I put her in the bath and then later she went outside for a few minutes and seemed rejuvinated. Praise the Lord, by the end of the night last night she was being onery and running around aggravating her sisters and dad. As much as she drives me nuts and I love cuddling her when she is sick, I much prefer her being rotten and loud and energetic and full of life. She was so pitiful last week, her eyes weren't Zoey eyes, and she just wanted Mommy to hold her. It was nice last night to finally sleep all night long. I haven't done that for about 2 1/2 weeks. Well just wanted to let you all in on my fun and exciting week, now it's time to clean the house, since it hasn't been done for about the same amount of time I haven't slept!
