Talia suffered through another case of RSV this past week. It struck on Monday night (Valentine's Day) when she awoke upset and feverish. A trip to the doctor's office on Tuesday confirmed what we felt was the beginnings of RSV and she was sent home with two steroid breathing treatments and a dose of Singulair before bed. By Thursday, she was becoming more and more lethargic and less like the Talia we all love. Friday morning, we made a follow-up doctor's visit and were sent straight to the hospital after her oxygen levels were found very low.
There may be nothing worse than watching your toddler receive an IV and continuous oxygen delivery. Poor girl was very sick all weekend and we are very thankful that she was at the hospital under good care. Mommy and Daddy stayed all day and night aside from a daily trip back to the house to grab a sanity shower. By Sunday afternoon, her fevers had finally subsided and she was released back home.
Today was her first good day - our little girl is back! Now we are contemplating whether to escape to Australia next February. We hate February (!)..... remember last year this time (2/12/10)?

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, T. Get well soon! I love you SO much, Talia!
Yes, double what Ben says:) Glad your home. Australia is not the answer, they are having their share of horrific events, try Disney World.
Poor sweet T. Those hospital pictures are so sad! :0( We hope to see your smiley, sweet little face again really soon!
So much improvement within the week. THANK GOODNESS. It was nice to see you return to yourself, Talia. We love you very much, nana and poppy.
