You down with RSV? Part 2

Part 1 was a post with this title on January 18, 2009. The string of sickness has continued in the house. I was sick on Valentine's Day with a stomach flu, I didn't get out of bed until 3PM except for only the most necessary of trips (I'll spare the details). Robin was still not feeling well so last Sunday she and Evie went over to the UI Quickcare to get checked out. They still couldn't find anything wrong with Robin, but gave her an antibiotic prescription to fill if she wasn't feeling better in a couple days. Evie was checked out as well and had some fluid in her ears, but no ear infection and couldn't find anything else wrong with her. She had been having several rough nights of sleep in a row. Wednesday night at 5:30PM I received a call from daycare that Evie had a 100 degree fever and was lethargic. We got her into an appt. that night that was scheduled for 7:15PM, but we didn't get into the Dr.'s office until after 7:45PM. I was just happy they were able to see us on such short notice as Evie had developed a seal like bark for a cough. Evie had a mild case of RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) and another ear infection. She is on antibiotics for the ear infection, but there isn't any treatment for the RSV since it is a virus. Evie has been sleeping pretty good, although last night was a rough night.
Spring cannot come soon enough for this house.
