RSV =(

Tristan turned 7 weeks old this week and unfortunately came down with a bad case of RSV. We took him into the pediatrician on Tuesday and he was really worried about him but decided to let him come home and try breathing treatments with a home nebulizer for the night. (oh and by the way he weighed 10lbs and 9oz at his visit!! Which means he has gained 5lbs in 6 and a half weeks!) Anyways, we brought him back in on Wednesday and he thought that he looked worse. He was really struggling to breath and his chest was really congested. He decided it would be best if we went into the hospital for awhile. They tried 5 times to put an IV in and could never get it but since he was eating good and his electrolytes were ok they decided to give up on the IV. He was so tired the rest of the day and would barely wake up to eat. It was a long night and he needed oxygen a few times but he started feeling better about midnight. This morning his doctor thought he looked and sounded a lot better so we got to leave and continue the home treatments and go back to have a check up tomorrow. Hopefully he will continue to get better and get back to his normal crazy self! Here are a few pictures from our stay...

I don't feel good but I still love my duck and my daddy!
