RSV

So last week I took Ave to the doctor because she had a horrible cough, my doctor told me that is was RSV.....thats okay for her because its shes big enough that it won't affect her. Jake on the other hand was sure to get it and so he started coughing the other day and I took him to the doctor and low and behold he had RSV. With all of his problems of course it has taken its toll.....I couldn't get him to drink anything yesterday and so they had to hook him to an IV so they could get him re-hydrated. poor little lamby...they got the IV in but before they taped it he yanked his arm and the needle came out and blood was dripping everywhere...it was so sad! his poor little hand
he just looks so sad and just hangs out...which is really unusual!
another picture of his little hand.

Poor babies! I am so sorry! They stuck Marley's IV in her foot, but she still had a nasty sore after they pulled it out. She would kick so hard they had to strap her foot to a board. How long was he on the IV for? We are just getting over the RSV and cough. I hope that is all behind us. Good luck to your cute babies, it's totally sad to see them sick!
