Barrett is a sick little baby




Well, Barrett has RSV. It is a respiratory virus that you don't want your infant to catch. Unfortunately we found out yesterday that Barrett tested positive for the virus. He has had a cough off and on since he has been in daycare and I have already had him tested two times before. However, this time seemed a little worse and he was running a low grade fever. He also did not want me to put him down, which is not like him. Luckily something told me to go ahead and take him in since it was about to be the weekend and we are so glad we did.

He is doing really good so far. We have to give him breathing treatments every 4-6 hours. He has not been running a high fever and is not too fussy either. He is a good baby even when he is sick. We are so lucky. We were told he could get worse, but we just have to wait and see. We will try to keep everyone updated. Keep our little guy in your thoughts and prayers.
