I HAVE RSV....

Gabe went to the doctor today for what was supposed to be his "WELL BABY" visit. The nurse immediately changed our visit to a "SICK BABY" visit. HMMM. Not surprising.


He was diagnosed with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus).. a yucky virus that affects a lot of little babies. See the following link for more info: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/respiratory/rsvfeat.htm


He was prescribed a nebulized bronchodilator (XOPENEX) and should start to feel better pretty soon. He goes back to the doctor in 1 week for a check-up. Hopefully he'll be ship-shape for uncle Dan's wedding next week!!
