As we thought, Bekah has RSV too. She is a few days behind Billy. Billy is very congested but he isn't really wheezing too bad. At this time he isn't showing any signs of pneumonia. The dr was very surprised on how well he was doing considering how congested he is. He was also surprised that he doesn't have an ear infection since they go hand in hand. With a baby this young and this congested, it is very rare that he isn't hospitalized(that is what the dr said). He is doing great considering his symptoms and the dr was just amazed(as good as an rsv baby can be).
We have to keep pushing the fluids(both don't like eating very much),doing breathing treatments, checking temperatures and Bekah will probably end up with an ear infection along with it(goes hand in hand with RSV).
I'm exhausted from having a caughing baby sleeping next to me, worrying if he can still breathe or not. With every caughing fit, I put my hand on his chest to make sure he is ok. Now it looks like I will have two babies next to me.

Tim had that at close to the same age as the twins. I think it's the scariest thing I've ever been through. They told us the same thing about going to the hospital, and it freaked me out. I think I checked in with the Doctor's office at least once a day at that point. I think I was off work for a good week a half and then Shane was off for a weekish after that. When we went back to daycare they had signs posted everywhere around the infant and toddler rooms letting parents know that someone had RSV because it is so contagious. Good luck and I'll be thinking of you.
