RSV update

Miles seems to be doing better today. Our biggest challenge is keeping him hydrated and keeping his food down. After he drinks, he starts coughing and then projectile vomits across the room. Sorry, if that is too much information.

I've learned that if I feed him while he is sitting straight up and give him smaller amounts at a time, he can usually keep most of it down. Right now, he is keeping about every other small bottle of formula down and I am letting him sip on pedialyte in between bottles. He even ate green beans (his very favorite food) last night and kept most of that down.

His cough and chest seem a little better and he is taking the breathing treatments like a champ. He just lays there and lets me put the mask over his face for the 7 or 8 minutes that each treatment takes. I gave him a treatment at 4 am, followed by a bottle (that did not stay down) and then he went back to sleep.

We have a big king sized bed, and have been letting Miles sleep in the middle. There is still plenty of room between each of us, but everytime we wake up, Miles is either snuggled against me or his daddy. He loves to cuddle!

He seems like he feels better today. I can tell his energy is building up. I won't let him "exercise" in his jumpers so he just lays there and kicks his legs a mile a minute.

Hopefully this will all pass soon. I hate seeing my baby sick!
