I am starting to think that Bailey might just be sick for the rest of her life! We spent 3 hours in the Dr's office and and Davis Hospital on Sunday-waiting, seeing the Dr, waiting some more and then finally having a Viral Respiratory Panel done on Bailey, her regular respiratory symptoms had been joined by fevers so we decided we should take her in. The results of the respiratory test showed that she has Adenovirus, again (this is the first time they have done the actual test, the other 3 times they have told us she had it they were just guessing based on her symptoms). We have spent the last 2 nights lying awake due to a fussy, restless baby (I say baby but she is really almost 2!). Last night she did a little better and slept from about 1:30- 6ish when she woke up screaming, then threw up. After throwing up I said "are you okay?" and she said "I spit out". During the day she is in pretty good spirits singing and playing as usual but during the night she does really bad tossing and turning and it seems like she can hardly breathe. Her tonsils are almost touching each other and her temps have ranged from regular to 105.3 deg. I really hate Adenovirus I think it's one of the worse viruses to deal with because basically they have high temps for almost a week (or more) and there is nothing you can do to make them feel better other than Tylenol and Motrin. It's a good thing I am on Spring Break this week so Dan doesn't have to miss work and I don't have to miss school or go exhausted. According to the CDC there are 49 types of Adenovirus, only 45 more to go and we've beat them all!

Poor Bailey!!! I hope she gets feeling better soon! Its a good thing she has her own super-hero nearby! LOL
I feel the same way about Wyatt...he is always sick. Sorry, I know it sucks. Peyton and this super hero phase is hilarious though. I love the video. So cute!
I am so sorry!!! Sick kids are the hardest to deal with. Please let us know if you want us to come visit so you can take a nap!!
You guys have had a rough year when it comes sickness. Hopefully she gets better soon!
So sorry laura. sick kids are no fun. poor thing. Good to see her super hero has not left her side! that's too dang cute. Congratulations on the bunk beds. I had conner and taylor in seperate rooms twice and each time have moved them back in with eachother. I would much rather have a playroom that can be PLAYED in as opposed to a messy room. and Taylor doesn't get up nearly as much at night when she shares a room with her brother, he must be a super hero in disguise....
I am sorry to hear this! Unfortunately I know exactly how you are feeling! I love the bunk beds by the way!
Laura, you have such a cute little family. Its not fun being the mom when your kids are sick, hang in there.
So sorry to hear! She is so lucky to have a tender hearted mommy who will always take care of her!
Poor thing! You guys have had a rough winter!
Hey as sad as it is that she is super sick, just think that when she get older and goes to school she is going to have a killer immune system. I hope this is your last run of the virus though.
