Home sick again

So it seems Kennon's bronchiolitis does not want to give up. He is still coughing a fair amount and we learned that several of the other kids in his room are sick with bronchitis/bronchiolitis caused by RSV, which is a nasty contagious respiratory virus/infection. It is PROBABLE Kennon's is caused by this RSVirus as well but our physician did not do any formalized testing. One of his classmates is actually in the hospital on oxygen his infection is so bad!! We don't seem to be heading down that road as of yet but we decided to keep him out of the germ mayhem at school so Eric and I are once again juggling our schedules to keep him home. Kennon is in pretty good humor as I sit and write this and he has been sleeping pretty well despite the coughing. We are still using the inhaler for his cough although I am not certain we are seeing much difference as of yet. So we'll keep an eye on him. I am always comforted by the fact that our physician has weekend hours so we could take him in on Sat or Sun if needed. I am once again trying to upload the videos that are so cute. We'll see if they take. Maddox seems to be warding off the RSV bug thus far despite its extreme contagiousness. Although I'm pretty certain she has had it in the past. Apparently you don't build immunity to this little virus so it can hang around a long time!! Actually wondering if Maddox has had it multiple times given her history of frequent fevers, colds etc over the last multiple months. Eric and I AGAIN had the discussion last night about Kindercare verses home daycare. I certainly don't think Maddox was as sick as Kennon has been having spent the first 2 years of her life at Kim's but then again the exposure to so much learning, socialization, and that Kindercare offers is not even comparable to a home setting. So we'll keep them where they are at for now.
