Today, Adam was supposed to return to work after his six week paternity leave. Yep, you heard right, Adam’s company offers six weeks of paid leave for fathers!!! So today was his first day back since Isaac was born and I was a little nervous about being home all alone for more than a couple of hours. Well, he was only there for two hours before I was calling and telling him to meet me at the emergency room. Everything is fine but after meeting with the pediatrician this morning, Dr. Huger wanted Isaac to get a chest x-ray along with an RSV test. His chest x-rays came out clear but he did test positive for RSV. (RSV is basically a really bad cold. An adult could have it and not even know) There isn’t an antibiotic for this virus for such a little guy, so Adam, Isaac and I just basically have to wait for it to pass. Adam and I do have the pleasure of putting saline drops in Isaac’s nose and then using the bugger sucker to extract all the mucus from his sinuses. It is pretty disgusting what can all come out of there. For such a sick little guy, Isaac has remained relatively calm. (More calm than mommy…although I will have to say that I held it together pretty well, if I do say so myself) Isaac and I will be at the hospital again tomorrow for his hip ultrasound but hopefully I won’t be calling Adam and he can get back to work.
On a side note… Isaac slept through the night last night for the first time!!! 8 hours!!! Let’s hope it’s not a fluke.
