RSV Vaccination

The insurance finally approved for Kyleigh to receive the vaccine for the RSV virus that is so dangerous for young babies. I took her in this morning for the vaccination. She didn't react until the nurse started to put on the band-aid and then she started the horrendous silent cry. The nurse was concerned because it took several seconds for her to take a breath of air. But she calmed down just as quickly as she started and all was well. She weighs 6 lbs 13 oz and is starting to eat better again. We have had 2 successful feeds of 3 oz bottles. Yippee!!!! The doctor checked her ears while we were there and said they were starting to look a lot better -- also very good news. 

I asked him if we should bring Kaitlyn in since she was still sick and he said unless she was dehydrated there wasn't anything their office could do for the stomach bug, which I kinda figured that much. She hasn't thrown up since yesterday afternoon so hopefully she is on the road to recovery. I am anxious to have her home and healthy again. Until then she is getting spoiled by Dennis' grandparents which makes it a little easier to know that she is in good hands.

Sorry to hear your Kaitlyn has been sick! :( Glad Kyleigh got the vaccine today...it's so hard to see them wail like that! Hope to see you soon, too.
