RSV

Zane has RSV. What more can I say? The little guy is pretty sick. Fortunately, the pediatrician checked his oxygen saturation level, and he is hanging in the 90’s, which means he does not need supplemental oxygen. However, he will receive Albuterol and Pulmicort treatments via the nebulizer for the next few weeks.

Whenever Zane is sick, it sets him back a bit with progress in his gross motor skills. But he needs a lot of rest and TLC right now, so the exercise will have to wait. He is still very happy, but he seems lethargic, his color is off, his eyes are red, and he has quite a bit of congestion in his chest right now.

On a separate note, Jeff and I hiked into and out of the Grand Canyon with a group of our friends from the Phoenix area. We had a great time. Jeff made it out first in less than four hours (and now he’s sick again; imagine that); I made it out in 5 hours and 43 minutes with my hiking pal, Chris. I had a great time trekking it out of the Canyon with her. Thanks for sticking with me. And thanks to Sally for planning the whole venture. But most especially, thank you to Jeff’s parents for traveling to Colorado, taking care of the boys (one of whom was sick), and for snow blowing our driveway during the recent series of storms.
