Easton's sick. this seems to be a weekly occurrence lately. poor kid! RSV kicked his butt and now we are reaping the effects. initially we (the doc & i) were crossing our fingers that with a little preventative medicine and occasional nebuelizer treatment we'd cross a bridge and never look back. no such luck. every time, and i mean EVERY time, Easton gets the sniffles it's a full-fl edge attack on his lungs too. i casually would poke fun at the weekly visits to the doctor's office, but i was truly expecting them to end with Savanna's 4 year well check last Tues. turns out we're in this for the long haul. i'm currently on a first name basis with the staff and Dr. L gave me a little "pep" talk and literal pat-on-the-back yesterday. it's been rough and i'm sure it showed. i hadn't slept more than 5 hours in two days. my baseball cap was my "quick fix" hairstyle and i'd been consuming more diet coke and granola bars than i'm sure is recommended {not to mention the fact that it was SNOWING as i pulled into the parking lot}. a little "your a good mom," "there's nothing you could have done to prevent this," pep-talk was very much appreciated and welcomed. so here we go. another bout of antibiotics, daily neb treatments followed by steroids, and house arrest. i'm seriously considering a "bubble boy" suit for this kid.

Sorry to hear you have been sick at your house. We too have been sick and Sophie is now sick again. I hate it. We made a midnight run to Wally world last night, AWESOME! Hope things improve at the Densley household and know that we are thinking of you.
Uggh! Stay tough girlie. Love ya.
Ugh that is awful! I hope his immune system gets stronger soon. K got RSV when he was almost 1 and he still has asthma from it and catches every sickness that goes around. Hopefully you're little guy will get better soon! Good luck, stay strong. You are a GREAT Mom!
That is a total bummer-I can't believe he still keeps getting sick-come fall I think you will definitely be ready to meet us in Disneyland! :-) Loved the 'house arrest' comment, as when you are dealing with all the sick stuff it seems like it could be improved if you were just able to invite a friend over...but being banished to your house is just the one last thing that can push you over the top. Miss you!
