Oh crap, RSV!!!

Daddy comes home tonight for the weekend! Yippee!!
Although he may come home just in time for chaos!
Carter started coughing and wheezing Tuesday. I got a call from his baseball coach that he wasn't feeling well, so I picked him up. That night his sats were dropping to 80 at times. I got through the night with some blow by oxygen, and headed to my peds office yesterday. He acted ok, although thats Carter. The kid can't stand to sit still for 30 seconds, even if he's sick. My ped did a VRP, just to see if it was anything, for the little ones sake.
When I checked the results online last night, it looks to me like he has RSV! I haven't gotten confirmation from my ped yet, but it said Influenza A and B were not detected. But RSV says detected. To me thats a positive. Last night I put oxygen on him before he fell asleep, so I didn't have to fight him when he was sleeping. That turned out to be the best thing, his sats dropped again asleep, and he left the oxygen on all night!
I'm a little worried that Carter may get worse as well if its RSV. Its only been two days, and RSV usually peaks around day 7, and can last weeks! He's been hospitalized every time he's had RSV, although its been a few years. Him and Jax were actually hospitalized together with RSV one year!
I'm just praying Jax doesn't get it, or we may be in for a rough couple weeks!
Jax also goes to ENT tomorrow. When I changed his trach the other day, I had a really hard time getting the new trach in. The hole seems to have shrunk. And to make matters worse, he has some tissue on one side, making it more difficult. He panicked and turned some nasty shades of blue while I tried to get his head back and open that hole to get the trach in!
Good times!
Meanwhile, I have been trying new hairdo's with the princess. I'm wondering if I should trim her hair so its all even. Its too short in the middle back, so this cute hairdo only lasted about an hour before it all fell out!




She found Carter and his apple. Or I should say she found the apple, that was what she had her eyes on!
Yes, we chopped Carters hair! He wanted it short for baseball. Last season he had a hard time because he plays catcher, and every time he threw his mask off, his hair was in his face.
