long week

My goodness! what an eventful week.  about two weeks ago Carson got croup again.  this is his 4th time since last November so we are getting pretty tired of it.  and poor Carson especially.  Well we took him to the doctor and he wants to start maybe testing him for asthma to see if that's why he keeps getting it.  anyway, when Carson gets croup he is usually over the worst of it in just two or three days.  This time he wasn't getting better at all.  He was having non stop fevers of 103-104 and really just slept all day and night.  wouldn't get up to eat or anything.  so last Saturday we decided to bring him into Primary Children's.  right off the bat he tested positive for RSV.  so they had us stay overnight to watch him.  well the next day came and same thing, High fevers, needing oxygen and an IV since he wouldn't eat or drink so they decided to keep us another night.  the third day the doctors started testing him for all sorts of things just in case there was anything else going on.  Well they started dropping names like Kawasaki's disease so we were getting pretty worried.  except that all the blood tests and chest x rays were coming back clean.  we ended up being there until yesterday (thursday) so almost a week to find out it was RSV and pneumonia.  so other then being worried he had some rare disease for a few days we are now home!  Carson's breathing is good and he is eating and playing again. so other then a pretty yucky cough for the next week or two, he is just fine! and so far Dallas hasn't caught anything so hopefully (knock on wood)  we are done for the season with doctor visits :)
