December 7, 2007

David is very very sick. Last night he began a fever and was coughing and wheezing a lot. I took him to the pediatrician this morning, and we found that he has RSV. We aren't going to have to admit him at this point, but we have to watch him pretty closely since his worst day will be either Sunday or Monday (if the illness takes its normal course).

So....we have a very sick baby on our hands. RSV is a pretty serious illness, so we will have to be diligent.

I am still unsure whether or not he will be able to get his next round of chemo as planned, but I will find that out just as soon as possible.
