Well as the cold weather starts to settle in for the winter here in middle America it's also the time for our most common illnesses. I am witnessing this firsthand as my son is fighting RSV right now. Respiratory syncytial virus is a very common virus that causes as infection in the lungs, but it is especially dangerous in babies and very small children. Alex has been very sick for the last twenty four hours. He is running a very high temp and is constantly coughing. We were able to get him into the doctor yesterday and now we are administering his medicines every three hours. He has stopped coughing but we still haven't broken his fever yet.
He isn't really eating but at least we are keeping him as hydrated as possible. I have to say that Tonya has been giving most of his medicines to him because I kind of sleep like a rock and it is just plain hard to wake me up in the middle of the night. So now I am letting her nap while me and Alex are watching marathon episodes of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I have to get back to it because Alex said I'm missing The Hulk.
