I haven't been able to post in 2009 yet because I've been really sick. Mommy and Daddy and I have "visited" Dr. LePage so many times this week (since last Monday we only missed one day), that Mommy offered to bring in her dry cleaning and coffee!
I started out with a little cough and then I also had a runny nose, and then the poop hit the fan and I was having a lot of trouble breathing... I had to take a trip to the Emergency Room at 4 o'clock in the morning on Saturday and it turns out that I have the RSV virus... Everyone kept warning them that I was going to scream for all of the tests and examinations and nebulizer treatments, but I was really good and only cried once (metal q-tip up the nose will do that to anyone!). It was really scary for Mommy and Daddy because I kept coughing so hard I would throw up and couldn't catch my breath. The good news is, I took about a dozen steam showers, so my skin should look amazing!
Mommy and Daddy tried the best they could to work as a team and take care of me. I moved back into their room in my bassinette so they could make sure I didn't forget to breathe while I was sleeping and they took turns "on watch" and sleeping on the couch.
Yesterday, Dr. LePage said that my chest was still wheezing, but that it looked like I had "turned the corner" and should be starting to get better soon... I slept in my own crib last night and was very smiley for Mommy and Daddy again. Boy, did they seem excited to see me smiling and hear me cooing again - they sure are easy to please!!
All of my friends and family have been so sweet calling and checking up on me (and Mommy & Daddy) everyday - I'm a very lucky little girl!
