We are all better! YIPEE!

You would never guess by this smile Riley was so sick. He is finally all better. RSV was really scary. I hope none of my kids get it again or any of your kids get it period. Taylor and Riley are excited to get back to the real world and play with their friends and cousins. It was hard on all of us being quarantined to the house for the past three weeks.

Tay loves showing off his big muscles!!

Riley is a proud owner of a $250.00 nebulizer

Angel Baby caught RSV

I think these are the saddest pictures ever!

So last Thursday night Riley started coughing and throwing up. The next day he still continued to throw up and his cough got worse. The nurse side of me decided to pull out my stethoscope and examine Riley. Of course I did just graduate and hardly know anything about anything but I heard lots and lots of junk rattling around in his lungs. I called the doctors and made an appointment. The kids regular doctor was all booked for the day so I decided to see another doctor. We arrived at the doctors and ended up waiting in the waiting room for over an hour. Taylor was running wild and Riley was crying. We finally got called back to the examine room -I was happy thinking we were finally close to see the doctor, ha not so lucky, we ended up having to wait an additional half an hour in the examine room! By the time the doctor came in my nerves were shot from trying to keep Taylor out of trouble and Riley from crying. I explained to the doctor that Riley had been throwing up all day and the night before then she listened to his lungs and examined him. She then said, "yeah he doesn't sound so good. Do you know what a humidifier is?" I was thinking lady are you joking of course I know what that is and thats all I can do for my little sick baby? Anyhow we went home at that. Riley continued to throw up and sound really congested. But the weird thing is Riley still proved he is the angel baby. He wasn't super fussy and still was super smiley. I finally took him back to the doctors on Tuesday when it was confirmed that he has RSV. They got us set up with a nebulizer treatment to do at home. The poor kid has to sit for 10-15 minutes with the mask on. But being the Angel baby that he is he hardly cries during his treatment and mostly sleeps. He is doing much better and keeping his milk down even after only being on the medication for a day!

RILEY WE LOVE YOU!

Riley's Blessing Day

On January 3, 2010 Riley was blessed. Kalvin gave Riley a beautiful blessing. Riley was really good too. One of our friends said Riley was just staring at all the men in the circle the whole blessing. I am so grateful we have the priesthood in our home and that Kalvin was able to preform such an important blessing for Riley.

I took Taylor and Riley to the doctors this Monday. Taylor went in for his three year appointment and Riley for his two month appointment. Taylor weighed in at 33 pounds and Riley at 13 pounds. Taylor is still in the 95 percentile in height and Riley is in the 85. We might have some tall boys! It was nice to be able to take them both in at the same time but rough to have to have two kids getting shots. But they both did good. I love all my boys!!!
