Unfortunately Shalise was not able to escape the much dreaded RSV season. She really didn't have many symptoms other than a cough but once we noticed that she was breathing much faster than normal, I called the pediatrician and was told to take her to Primary Children's where sure enough, she had RSV. So I was there with her for a few days and she is now on the road to recovery. Luckily she has a pretty mild case and didn't even have a fever so after helping her breathe with some oxygen and replenishing her fluids with an IV, she did really well and we were fortunate to not have to stay very long. They told me that with how bad RSV is this year and her being a preemie, she really didn't stand a chance and would have probably got it regardless. So hopefully now that she's had it, she'll be done with and won't get it again! Here are some pictures at the hospital. She looks like she's screaming in the second one, but really she is just using her entire body to yawn and stretch. :)
And here are some today of her resting at home and getting better:

We probably could have visited you, we were there monday with Halle.
It is so sad to see her in the hospital. That bed makes her look teeny, oh, wait, she is!
