RSV AGAIN???

So before I tell my story, Dawson has RSV again! Now...we've had this before, but both experiences together is like De Ja Vu!

Dawson at 3 months old- had a cold, stuffy nose, coughing...I take him to the doctor. Now he was unable to get to see his 'actual' pediatrician because he was out for the week. So we saw a doctor that I won't say his name..but I will never go to him again after our 2nd RSV experience. This doctor (who I won't say his name) tested him for RSV, and came back to me to say "It's just a cold. He doesn't have RSV."

Three days later everything got worse. I demanded to see Dr. Burrows since Dawson was only 3 months old. We got in that day and sure enough Dawson had RSV. It's a 15-20 minute test, after 2 minutes Dr. Burrows came back in and said he's way positive and get him on breathing treatments immediately.

Now, 3 weeks ago for today, I took Dawson to the doctor to check him. He had symptoms of RSV-bad! Dr. Burrows was out for the week so we had to go see 'the doctor' (who's name I won't say). This doctor tested him for pneumonia, and RSV-he came back and said it was just a viral infection. Now today I went back in to see Dr. Burrows because Dawson's symptoms were getting WAY worse. Sure enough-he had RSV.

This is the saddest thing ever! I wish he would have been swabbed right the first time and been treated right away for the right thing, then we wouldn't be in this situation for a second time. We are supposed to go to a baby blessing this weekend for our sweet nephew whom we have only seen twice since he was born! Now, we probably won't go.

**So sorry Chet and Bobi Sue, J.D. will definitely be there...but Dawson and I might not.**

I'm so upset that we probably won't get to go. We will miss the blessing and family so much! Dawson seriously misses all of J.D.'s side of the family so much. Anyways, I hope this little guy gets feelin better.

ALSO- **So sorry Tulsi for not being able to stay for Kass's talk. I had to conduct for primary and Dawson was starting to throw up. I know he did great! We were so sad to have to miss it. :-( Give Kass a hug from us!
