On Sunday, London started to feel sick. She was coughing, sneezing, and just acting different. Finally on Monday it got worse because she wouldn't keep her food down. So we took her in to the doc. He said to keep a close eye on her and bring her back the next morning if she still wasn't eating. Well, she got worse so we took her back Tuesday and they ended up admitting her to the hospital. At first I was just thinking that they'd hook her up to an iv overnight to get some fluids in her and release us the next day. Well when we got to the hospital, they hooked her iv up and she was having breathing problems. They had to put her on oxygen, deep suction her every 4ish hours, and take some urine and blood samples to check for infections. She came back positive for RSV. The poor little girl was miserable Tuesday and Wednesday! By Thursday though she started looking better and they were able to wean her off the oxygen and send us home Thursday night. We went back this morning to check up on her again. They've been following a heart murmur since she was born but it had never really been a concern. Since she was sick they could hear it more now though, so they're having us take her to a pediatric cardiologist thursday to do an echocardiogram on her. Hopefully everything is okay there. That's a little scary especially since I had to have open heart surgery when I was 2 years old. They said hers isn't related to what I had though so that's reassuring.
Anyways, she's acting completely normal now! Back to her smiling self :)
