We tried so hard to keep the sickness away, but the germs found their way to Ryder. He got sick on Sunday and by Wednesday he was not eating much and had a fever on and off. We took him to the E.R. to check his oxygen levels and maybe get some fluids.
The poor thing, they picked and poked him for what seemed like hours. We were waiting for his IV so he could get some fluids and then we could go home.
Getting the pick line in for his IV was so sad. Then to make sure he did not pull it out they wrapped his whole arm. As if that was not bad enough it was his left arm and that is the thumb he likes to suck.
Then after more waiting they came back and said that he tested positive for RSV and he was going to be admitted.
So Ryder and I settled into our new room for three days while they monitored him. He was on day four and the worst days are usually five and six. Luckily he did not get worse and have to be sent to Primary Children's Hospital.
By Friday he was feeling much better and we were both ready to go home. Thank goodness for doctors and medicine to help kick the sickness out of his system. It will be another 3 to 4 weeks before he is all better, but the scare is over.
We were so happy to have our smiley Ryder back.
