Sick baby girl :(

Poor little Ella is sick. She is very congested and as soon as she started coughing we went to her doctor ASAP. Preemies are highly susceptible to RSV; which is an infection that attacks their weak lungs & usually leads to hospitalization. (So you can imagine how nervous we were) The doctor luckily said it had not reached her lungs and she didn’t have a fever. He said it was just a really bad cold & cough. He recommended we get everything we could out of her nose (to keep it from making its way into her chest), saline spray, humidifier and even hot showers. So I stayed home with her Wednesday and Thursday. She is still coughing and has a runny nose but she seems to be getting better slowly. Lots of sleeping and snuggling with Mommy & Daddy :) She is a strong little girl, but having a sick child is very scary.
