Well, I knew it had to happen sometime... But I was hoping that we would make it a little longer than 12 weeks before she got sick!

On Friday night I noticed that Lara had a little cough, but didn't think much of it, then Saturday she started coughing a little more, but wasn't acting like she was feeling bad, and wasn't running and fever, so Mom and I decided to go shopping at Bridgestreet here in town and got Lara a couple of really cute outfits for our trip to Brazil and the Summer. On Sunday Lara started acting a little more like she wasn't feeling good and was running a low fever so we decided that if she wasn't better in the morning we would head to the doctor.

Well, she was worse on Monday and I could feel her "purring" when she was breathing so I knew it was definitely time to go in. Well, as I had feared she tested positive for RSV and also had brochiolitis (between bronchitis and pneumonia.) Thankfully they were able to do a breathing treatment in the office which seemed to make a big difference. We were told to do breathing treatments at home every 6 hours for 4 days, then we cut it down to 2x a day for the rest of the week and then 1x per day for the week after... I feel like she is a newborn again! We do a treatment at midnight, then we have to get up and try to do the treatment again at 6am - she has actually slept through it every day so far except one! I find that amazing since the machine we borrowed from the doctor is VERY loud!

Sick Lara = Sad Mommy!

She has been such a trooper! Even though I can tell that she is not quite herself, she has still be smiling and not very fussy at all! We are so blessed to have such a good baby, even when she's sick!

One of MANY breathing treatments! She doesn't seem to mind - Here she is giving me a little grin!

Please keep us in your prayers! We are hoping that the treatments continue working and that she will be back to herself as soon as possible!
