Maddie is sick :(

Over last weekend, Mimi & Opah were here with us. We went shopping for Christmas gifts, out to eat and more shopping. It was so much fun spending time with them. Maddie got to play "hookie" from school for two days! While they were here, Maddie started coughing and as the weekend progressed, she got worse. When I took her to daycare on Monday they said she was fussy. Another baby had been out sick and they said Maddie was fine. Well, Tuesday after school i went to get Maddie and the teachers said she is getting worse. She wouldn't take her bottle and didn't eat much food. She couldn't sleep because she was so congested. I called her doctor and we got an appointment for Wednesday. I pick her up early from school and they said, "maddie isn't doing good at all...she is really sick."

Well, the doctor said she has RSV and an ear infection. Apparently, RSV is going around the town and our daycare. I am so glad that i made an appointment for her. Poor baby, she was miserable. We got an antibiotic for the infection and an inhaler for the RSV. We have to put a mask over her nose and mouth and then we push the inhaler. It releases the medicine and she breathes it in through the long tube which connects to the mask. Long story.....sorry....BUT she is feeling better today. It was scary to see her so sick and it happened so fast.


Nana took care of her on Thursday so i could work then i took off Friday so i could keep her. Nana & Aunt Rae Rae went to Houston for the weekend. She has been good for me. We went shopping to finish Christmas gifts today. We are all glad she is doing better. :)

Here is Maddie all dressed up for shopping with Mommy! You can tell that she is back to her usual self. Gosh....i can't believe how big she is already. Time is flying.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
