First Illness

As much I didn't want to admit it, Isabella is sick for first time. We went to the doctor today and she was diagnosed with a type of viral bronchiolitis. While it's heart-wrenching to hear her wheeze and cough, it's apparently fairly common for infants in day care to come down with this. One study estimated that almost 100% of kids under 2 in day care will have bronchiolitis. So, she has to have a nebulizer which will give her medication to open her airways every 6 hours. Only upside is that the mask is in the form of a dragon and is pretty cute. I'll try to post pictures, but she doesn't like to have the mask anywhere close to her face.

Meanwhile, both of us are coming down with some sort of cold. Looks like it'll be an indoor weekend for all three of us.
