RSV - Really Scary Virus

Well, yesterday I took the two little girls to the doctor because they had been quite sick over the weekend. Jennie was already feeling much better by the time we got there,
but Lydia wasn't doing very well.
The doctor sent us over to the hospital for an RSV test and to measure Lydia's oxygen level...

... and 27.5 hours later, we came home.


She tested positive for RSV, and her oxygen levels were too low, so they kept her there until she was doing better.
When we first arrived, the doctor all the nurses were telling me that this was not an overnight fix, and that she would be there for 3-4 days, and could possibly have to stay for up to two weeks!
But she decided to just get better.
One night on oxygen was all it took.
Her lungs still aren't clear, and we'll have to keep giving her breathing treatments at home,
but at least we get to sleep in our own bed tonight!
Hooray!
