Carson crash/RSV

Okay, so it's been a really rough 24 hours. Cj took Carson to the doctor today only to discover this hacking cough and runny nose is RSV - a total panic attack in my book. I know the least and the worst of it, and my best friend confirmed the wide range of possible outcomes. However, I am trying to be optimistic, as Dr. Blume said that Carson's oxygenation is 99% and he seemed positive about the recovery. He did say that the next 48-72 hours would most likely be worse before it gets better, then Carson should cough for the next 2 weeks before being well again. Gee whiz! My poor baby...

As if this wasn't bad enough... Carson has 2 molars and a front tooth coming in. The molars are progressing well, and the front tooth just popped thru. The kid is going to have a mouth full of teeth by the time he's 18 months. And, I have heard that the I-teeth are the worst. Great!

Oh, it still gets better... last night when Carson and I were playing, he slipped and hit his 4 top teeth on our end table. There are teeth scratches down the table - no kidding. So, I freak out while trying to stay calm as I have a screaming baby with blood coming out of his mouth. I stick my finger in there to check to make sure his teeth are still in tact, and I withdraw a bloody finger. Now I'm really upset. Once I finally calm Carson down and get control, I call my mom. Carson and I then took turns sucking on an ice cube to see if we can get something cold on his mouth to control the swelling. Cj and I agree that this kid needs a helmet!
