Landrum has RSV - she has actually had it all week. We found out she had the virus last Monday but she was really rather well - no real symptoms, so the doctor just told us to watch her closely to see if her status changed. Over the next few days she slowly got worse and worse until now she sounds like she has been a chain smoker for 30 years. Nice stuff. So Jared stayed home with her this morning and took her back in to the doctor. She now has to have breathing treatments every 4 hours -even in the middle of the night - for the next 24 hours. Then we will keep up a 4 a day regimen for the next 5-8 days... and she is also on an antibiotic for secondary bacteria. Good grief. Needless to say we will remain shut in the house a little longer. We might go crazy before this is all over.
On another note - Jared's mom went back into the hospital at Baptist this morning for her second round of chemo. This starts what they call the consolidation therapy. She will have chemo today, wednesday and friday and then will get to go home on friday. She should be home for 6 weeks before she has to come back into the hospital again. She was feeling well but not looking forward to a week in the hospital! you can also keep up with her progress at her caring bridge site. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/debbieyates
Here are some other tidbits of information I have learned as of late: 1. There is a house in our neighborhood that has lots and lots of lights and apparently they are coordinated with the music on 107. 1 (or something) on the radio... we will have to check this out sometime this week. 2. There is a really great santa (with free photo and loads of activities for the kiddies) at Bass Pro - we made our first visit to the outdoor wonderland this past week for Landrums first photo with Santa.
Can't really think of anything else that needs updating at this point...

I'm so sorry she has RSV. We'll be praying for you all, it's not easy when the little ones are sick. Hope you have a peaceful Christmas.
bleh we end up with so many babies with RSV at work. Keep her nose sucked out so you don't end up there! Hopefully it will pass quickly :)
