Finally an update on Katelynn















Sorry for not getting her results posted sooner. I know most everyone knows that she is normal with a big beautiful head. Thank you for all your prayers. She had the sono on Monday afternoon and I got the results on Wed morning. It was so hard to wait on the words I wanted to hear. Praise God she is fine.

On another note, Haylee came down with some congestion (snotty nose) and a cough on Tuesday and I hoped it was allergies. Not so lucky! Katelynn and Tyler came down with the same symptoms on Thursday. I prayed that it was just a cold or something but in the back of my mind by the way Katelynn sounded I knew it was RSV. I took her to her pediatrician on Monday morning and sure enough she tested positive for RSV. So no this is 4 RSV's in 4 months for Katelynn. She just doesn't even get a chance to recover fully before she gets it again. I stay at home with the kids and you would think they would be healthier. The only place I usually take them is church.

Her doctor called me tonight at 7pm just to check on her. She is really trying to figure everything out. She wants to continue breathing treatments of Pulmicort for 2 more weeks then wean her off. I will be taking Katelynn back around that time to have her evaluate her. There may still be a possibility that due to her ongoing cough, she might want to check out the acid reflux stuff by a Barium Swallow and a Upper GI. I will try to keep everyone updated on what is going on . It's much easier to do a post when you don't have 3 sick kids at the same time. :-)

Poor little thing! I'm so sorry she keeps getting RSV and will continue to pray for her to be completely well! Hopefully with the warm weather coming you will get a break from all this crud!
