Our little monkeys have been very sick this week. There have not been a lot of shenanigans to speak of the past few days. For the most part, the house and the girls have looked like this.....
Lily started the week with a fever and bad cold. She was negative for flu but was having all the symptoms. On Thursday Annie really started coughing and by Friday she had a fever of 102. I took her in to the doctor and she tested positive for RSV. She's been on nebulizer treatments of albuterol and has responded well. Lily came down with a double ear infection due to her congestion and has started antibiotics. It has been a rough week for Mommy - not a lot of breaks or chances to get out of the house, lots of late nights, and grumpy little girls, plus all the issues of late pregnancy. Daddy's priesthood blessings have been a great comfort. We're hoping everyone will get well again very soon. But Daddy woke up early this (Sunday) morning with a scratchy throat and a slight cough....which is how it all started for Lily last week!
In between the low moments, the girls had bursts of energy and acted a little more like themselves. It is always a relief to see them get up and want to play.
Lily loves to play card games with us, but has trouble holding all the cards at once. I saw a great idea on Pinterest to use a chip clip to hold cards. Lily thought it was awesome and was so happy she could see all her cards at once and hold them in one hand like Mommy and Daddy. Thanks for another great idea Pinterest!
So long from the Hall house! We're all resting and trying to find our health again before our little baby arrives in a few weeks. Mommy has been blessed to avoid the illness so far while taking care of the girls. We're thankful every day for that. Please keep Annie in your prayers. RSV can be very dangerous and we're lucky Mommy took Annie to the doctor right away before it required a hospital stay. It is weeks like this that help us remember how thankful we are for healthy bodies.
