It is RSV
We found out yesterday that she tested positive for RSV. She is too young for medication so we are supposed to watch her for signs of wheezy-ness. We took turns sleeping with her up right on the couch last night, the Anti Hippie even had to work today, he is such a trooper! We watched Iron Man last night and as the movie progressed so did her wheezy-ness, we plugged in 2 humidifiers and slept upright. She is still cranky today, but I just dosed her full of Motrin, and my mom has invited us over so that I can catch up on my cable t.v. and she can watch Gnat for a few hours. Even though she makes me crazy, I thought this was a nice gesture! So we are off to the 'farm'. Enjoy your Sunday, and if you have the day off tomorrow enjoy that too!

Watch her breathing. You probably know this from your firefighter training, but if you can see in her stomach and in her neck where she's breathing, that means she's struggling and will need Oxygen. Also, did they give her a nebulizer treatment? What medication is she too young for?
Oh man, poor little thing. I'll look in my Vital Child book and call you with any good, accessible homeopathic treatments.
And, wow, that was VERY nice of Crabby Patty to help you out like that. Maybe she's mellowing out as she ages...maybe.
Any medication, although the neighbor who has it too (did not get it from them) got a nebulizer and anti-biotic
