Neglecting the Blog, Part 2



The month of February has not been kind to us so far. As Maddie started to get better, Carly began coughing and got sicker as the week progressed.

Like Maddie, Carly was diagnosed with RSV but it hit her little body much harder. We visisted the pediatrician every single day last week, and spent one afternoon at the hospital because her O2 levels weren't great and she had labored breathing. She's been doing nebulizer treatments several times a day to help her breathe better.

After 7 days of being very sick, Carly has finally started to get better. What a scary and exhausting week.

Taking care of Maddie and Carly the last two weeks has made me realize how blessed we are to have healthy children. My heart goes out to my friends who's children have illnesses which they deal with daily. Such brave and strong people.

We're hoping that sickness doesn't visit the Mahurin home for a while.
