Stress :0)

Okay, so, here goes…  Mallie has RSV.  Yay, huh?  I had to take her into Instacare yesterday because her fever reached 103.3 degrees F.  Her O2 was 86.  Her cough was bad.  She was a little bit blue and her breathing was pretty difficult.  Ivon was at church, with the van, and I had no way to get hold of him.  So, I filled up the sink with water and sat her in there to try to get her fever down as the Tylenol had yet to kick in.  That helped, it brought her fever down to 101.  Shortly after that, Ivon got home, and I took her to the doctor and two and a half hours later, when they could get to us, they tested her and sure enough… it’s RSV.

Luckily- although I don’t think luck has anything to do with it- she’s doing much better today.  She’s been playing with Christopher and dancing to music.  HUGE improvement from yesterday morning- all she wanted to do was be held, which is very uncommon for her!  I think she’s going to be just fine- no hospitalization required.

Between Dad getting really sick from radiation and chemo, and Charity being put on bed rest and watched closely for Toxemia, and now Mallie with RSV…  *SIGH*  Do you ever have times when you just have to laugh at how many difficult things there are going on in your life?  Today is one of those days.  I’d rather laugh at them then cry- even though it might be one of those stress induced crazy laughs.  I’ve already cried about them- now it’s time to laugh and say, “Bring it on!”
