RSV!!!!

Okay so Jayden and Laylah both have RSV(it's a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory system) and it is suspected that Rey and I both had it also. Poor Jay was hospitalized Tues.-Wed. He was just having a hard time breathing. He seems to be improving but we are watching him closely. What seemed like just his first cold sure did take a sharp turn in the other direction. Laylah was saved by the bell. Because, like Rey and I, she has asthma, when a cold appeared we knew what difficulty she would be having and immediately treated her with albuterol and her normal nebulizer pulmicort treatments. Because of this she never had difficulty breathing and avoided being in the hospital. Her greatest discomfort was waking up in the middle of the night and realizing that her brother and father were not at home. She was shaken by this and very unhappy with me for not being able to pull them out of my pocket.
