The Chicker has RSV and an ear infection
breathing treatments every 4 hours for the next 5 days.
pretty much on quarrantine.
sucks!
Based off of my calculations of incubation periods, he most likely got it over the weekend while we were in Southern Utah. I'm going to assume that it was when we were at WalMart, getting diabetic test strips.
Okay, so I guess we can blame me.
I'm so sorry Chickie!

Hello my old pal-
I found your blog quite accidently today while I was random blog hopping. Yes whenever I have an impending deadline that I can't quite force myself to tackle I will instead check up on all the blogs I follow. Today there wasn't much new out there so I had to succomb to clicking on total strangers blogs that are friends of my friends. (stalkerish? wierd?bored? professional procrastinator. call it whatever you want, but it happens) Anyway I read your post and your goals and the part about teststrips & bloodsugar jumped out at me. Kira my 11 yr old was diagnosed a year ago. Suddenly I wanted to know more about you so I clicked on your childhood picture and boy was the suprise on me when I saw your wedding picture! Really I just wanted to say "hello" but I have quite a knack for making a short story long. So there it is. I would love to chat with you about diabetes sometime and your experiences. It has had a bigger impact on my life than I ever would have thought possible! Sending healthy thoughts to your sick little one.
What a bummer. Hang in there...
A member of a subgroup of myxoviruses that in tissue culture cause formation of giant cells or syncytia. It is a common cause of epidemics of acute brochiolitis, bronchopneumonia, and the common cold in young children and sporadic acute bronchitis and mild upper respiratory tract infections in adults. Symptoms of infection with this virus include fever, cough, and severe malaise. The virus occasionally is fatal in infants. Systemic invasion by the virus does not happen, and secondary bacterial invasion is uncommon. Treatment includes rest, high humidity, adequate fluid intake, and, in severe cases, oxygen and ribavirin aerosol.
