Sickness is Everywhere :(

So the last couple days Lexi has had a stuffy/runny nose and a cough. I have stayed home from work with her and now I am sick too. All she wants me to do is hold her and rock her. I have done absolutely nothing the past two days. But I love that she wants me and I love cuddling her! The medicine she is on for her eye makes her immune system low so she is at higher risk of getting sick. They gave us this automatic burger sucker machine to use on her and it works great. But it is so loud and she hates it. But it is tons better than those dumb bulb syringes.
She hasn't had a fever or gotten worse, so hopefully she will start feeling better soon. At least today she is smiling. Yesterday she just looked so sad.
Also today they put my twin nieces in the hospital with RSV, so I am praying that is not what Lexi has. They are saying on the news that RSV is really bad this year. It freaks me out so bad. I hope they can help the twins and get them better soon.
So if you have little kids or babies be super careful about where you take them, and for heaven sake people - WASH YOUR HANDS!!!

RSV is super scary. I hope they get better soon. I know if I had a little baby I wouldn't be going anywhere. Crazy. let me know if you need anything.

Do you remember when Hannah was in the hospital with RSV? It really sucks! I hope that the twins are okay and that Lexi doesn't have that either. I got your text yesterday, but I was so busy that I never got around to texting you back- sorry! I hope that things are getting better now!

Sure hope your little Lexi can avoid RSV! I'm sorry you guys have been sick! That's no fun :( But yeah, I agree on the cuddling thing... BEST EVER :) Kade doesn't let me do that really anymore, less he's SUPER tired or sick. So I try to take advantage of that too :P Hope you get better soon!

Bummer with being sick. We just got back from the doc today and found out that all of us, except Chad, have RSV too. I just thought we had really bad colds/coughs and took Reese to the doc to see if he had an ear infection. Then the doc told us that it's RSV. YUCK. Now I'm so glad we didn't see you guys on Saturday.
