We are finally starting to feel better. I took Hudson in to the doctor on Saturday morning after he was up most of the night because he was so mucus-y. The doctor did a test that said he was positive for RSV, and that there is nothing to do but wait it out. Basically, he is going to be snotty, coughy and miserable for 7-10 days. Merry Christmas. Obviously, that doctor didn't have kids because she didn't offer much sympathy or solutions. We have been liberally administering saline drops and running the vaporizer so that the room is like a rain forest that smells like Vicks. Luckily, today he seems much better and we have been getting more sleep the past few nights.
The rest of Saturday we lounged around and rested. Sunday, we had to skip church so as to not spread our holiday cheer. By yesterday, we were very ready to get out of the house, and went to the mall for an outing. Last night, we had an idea to drive out to see some lights in Wendell that were touted as a 30 minute choreographed light extravaganza. Well, Hudson screamed almost the whole way there, the lights were NOT impressive, and then, he screamed the whole way home. Lovely.
Today, I went to the barn to ride, and we went to the Cary mall for Alden to ride the Merry-go-Round. It has been so cold here that the mall seems like the only place to get out! There is one black horse that Alden loves and calls Black Beauty. She got off today, and starts talking about how in the book, "Black Beauty is scared of the Biiiiiggg fire!" How does she remember that? We haven't read that in months.
I was going to try to add pictures, but our computer just crashed while I was editing pictures. Patience, Patience. I will post some soon.
