Delilah's fever finally broke for good I'm hoping. She had been down to 99 in am and then spiking again in the afternoons to 100.8. Well this morning she finally stayed down in the normal range and only spiked to 99.0 once! Yeah! I was also finally able to suction her only every four hours right before her treatments. Now the lungs/breathing has a long way to go. She still wheezes all the time. She is still coughing a lot and she still has an occasional crackle in the bases of her lungs which worries me that those haven't improved but the Dr said that it could take almost a month for her lungs to recover and she will always be really sensitive from here on out. She is still really clingy and wants to be close to me all the time.
I am starting to finally feel slightly better. I can actually breathe again through one of my nostrils. The headaches are getting better. Jarrod came home today with the full blown thing too. He can't breathe through his nose at all. Luckily both his and mine is all just in our head not in our lungs. I had spoken with my manager and she didn't want me to work until all my symptoms were gone since RSV is so contagious and so bad to give to the babies, so I think it is good that I already had the weekend off. By Monday I better be ready to go back to work or I am going to go completely stir crazy. I don't know how mom's do it, no being able to go anywhere. I can't risk taking her anywhere and get other people sick so we have been finding things to do here and man I am running out of ideas.

That's great news that you two are feeling better. Hopefully Jarrod does, too.
I'm sorry you're so stir crazy. Is the weather warm enough to go for walks? Do you have any organizing you need to do and Delilah can "help" by sitting or laying nearby?
