Okay, so the RSV definitely got worse as the week went on. Carson had a temp of 99.8 on Tuesday, but Linda let him stay at daycare. On Wed, she called because his temp was 101 after naptime. Above 100 means you have to go home. His wheezing was worse, too, so Cj and I took him back to the doctor. It's a good thing since his oxygenation had dropped 5 points. They gave Carson a breathing treatment and it brought his levels back up. Now we are proud owners of a breathing machine. Carson crashed about 6:30 that night. He has been getting up 3-4 times a night for a drink and his binkie. He goes right back to sleep after that. It's just the getting up that many times that's a killer.
Cj stayed home with Carson for 1/2 day yesterday then Grampy came over and Grammy joined him when she got off work. Carson did really well, and felt so good that he stayed up until Daddy got home and fed him a bottle. Then he crashed hard.
Linda gave Carson 2 breathing treatments on Friday for his wheezing, and he took a good nap there. He needed it! He kept playing then stopping to lay on the floor. After about 10 seconds he would pop up in fear that he might fall asleep.
We took both boys shopping yesterday, and Carson would run and fall then lay down in the middle of the store. Everyone thought it was quite entertaining.

This RSV thing had me pretty spooked, and I really didn't hear the worst of it, I'm sure. He did really well for us Friday afternoon. He didn't want to slow down for a second. We had fun making truck noises with the circus truck. We tried to do the breathing treatment once, but we weren't too successful. Didn't last as long as we thought it should have.
