RSV hits them!

Joscel and Joshua are just ones of the many kids who got hit with the RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). Joshua got sick first on Dec. 22 and we thought it was just a normal cold. He was terrible for a couple of days but he recovered without being taken to the emergency. Then on Christmas eve, Joscel started getting low grade fever, cold and cough. We thought it was the same as Joshua's situation. But days after, she got worse. We had to rush her to the emergency at 12 midnight of Dec. 28. We had no idea that it was RSV already.

The first 2 days at the Children's hospital was unbearable. She was just sleeping all day and had no energy at all. She looked miserable and wouldn't eat nor drink so they had to give her an IV. It helped her quite a bit in terms of rehydration but still with low energy. She just started talking and playing on the 3rd day. She had a few sips of chocolate milk, and other juices and she eats just ice cream. 4th day was waaay better. She was munching on strawberries, cookies, sandwiches and other food that the hospital offers. And she was talking a lot and we found her dancing too! 

Jo and Joshua stayed here overnight to spend the New Year together as a family and it was a great feeling to see the twins play again. I could tell that Joscel was happy to hear Joshua's loud voice before she went to sleep (At home, Joshua talks a lot before going to sleep and Joscel got used to it now!)

We are for sure not going home yet since she is still on oxygen and IV. They might wean her off today and who knows, tomorrow might be the day! Thanks for all the prayers.....
