RSV is Scary!
Well, we got the dreaded diagnosis on Friday. Cora started coughing earlier in the week and sounded really congested. So, Dr. Mitchell confirmed what we feared. . .RSV. We did a breathing treatment in the office, and it helped her slightly. (It is actually good that it only helped a little. It confirms that she does not have asthma.) We are now the proud owners of our own nebulizer replete with purple rhino face mask. And, much to Cora's delight, we get to do breathing treatments 3 times a day. Fortunately, her fever is basically gone. She really has not acted differently other than coughing every few minutes. She has also maintained her appetite. She's a pretty tough little tyke. Here is a picture of a breathing treatment.

Poor Cora! A&A have never had RSV but I've heard it's no fun :( Aidan did have to use a nebulizer when he came down with brohciolitis once. He was a trooper and I'm sure Cora will be too. Hope she feels better soon!
