While Grandma and Grandpa were here, Riley developed a fever and was very clingy and definitely not as active as usual. So after they left on Monday, Adam took her to the doctor and she was diagnosed with RSV, a virus that is like a cold, but can make certain age groups (i.e. babies and the elderly) very sick. She had a fever for about 5 days and we had to give her nebulizer treatments four times a day. She was a trooper and thought she hated that mask at first, it didn't usually take long to settle her down and she fell asleep every time. She was back to her normal self after about 1 1/2 or 2 weeks.
Conor loved to help use the thermometer to take her temperature. He loved to push the button to turn it on and off and to read the numbers. After hearing us read it in thermometer "lingo"--like 101-point-2 degrees, he tried to read it the same way but got a little mixed up--he would say 101-and-2-points.
