Sweet Bennett is 2 months old! Which usually means SHOTS :(
She had her 2 month well check up today, and this morning when she woke up--an hour early--she seemed a little "stuffy" and congested.
I really didn't think anything of it, since she was very congested as a newborn and the Dr. assured me this was normal.
So we got to our appointment, and I told the Dr. she was mildly congested and she looked at her ears, nose, and throat and everything looked good...but she could tell she sounded congested so she decided to do a RSV test just to be safe before she would give her her shots, and it came back POSITIVE!! I was so upset and shocked! Our Dr. was a little too--she's the first case the entire practice has seen this year and she's considered "low" risk---since she's exclusively breast fed, was a full term baby, and isn't in day care AND even Porter is extremely healthy and does not get sick hardly at all.
BUT luckily we caught it very early and her pulse ox was great, and she didn't have any other secondary symptoms/problems yet. Unfortunately since it's a virus there's no "cure" or medicine, but she's already started breathing treatments, and an antibiotic to combat any potential problems that could arise.
She still feels great, and is just as happy as ever :) and we made it through the first breathing treatment easy! So say a little prayer for sweet Bennett (and mommy who is without daddy's help this week!) that the next few days aren't so bad!!
