Diagnosis.

So Kadence and I have just returned from the pediatrician's -- unfortunately her doctor wasn't there, so we had to see someone else. Let's just say that I'm glad we have the pediatrician that we do because I most certainly wouldn't drive over an hour to see the lady that I did today. She definitely didn't strike me a kid kinda person. And Kadence definitely didn't like her :)

Anyways, they weighed her and she's finally started gaining some weight again. She's at 21.3 pounds -- my little chunky nugget! HAHA

The final verdict of her "cold" is that she has RSV -- Respiratory Syncytial Virus -- sounds kinda scary huh? (http://www.webmd.com/lung/tc/respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv-infection-topic-overview) But it's not horrible. The doctor did say that she was a "best case scenario" for this since she isn't full blown yet and hopefully she doesn't get any worse. They did a little nose swab on her and were able to test it while we were there -- which made me feel better. I hate when it seems like they're guessing at what's wrong with her. At least I have an actual name for it. We're hoping that it doesn't spread to her lungs and cause wheezing -- cause that will equal pneumonia and a trip to the hospital. It has caused a small ear infection in her right ear though. Her first one. JOY. They gave her the pink bubble gum stuff though and told me to give it to her for the next 10 days. Not to mention she has another bottom molar coming in. 

Looks like we will be home bound for the next couple weeks. No playdates. No nursery at church. And definitely no day care until this all clears up. I'd hate to be responsible for getting other people's kids sick. I just wish that people cared that much about getting mine sick. It was unavoidable though. Nothing that I could've done to prevent it and the doctor said it's so high contagious/spread that she's probably had it in her system for weeks before showing any signs of it.

So we wait. And hope that I can make her happy and healthy again soon. xo
