Even though we were told we wouldn't see any improvement in Will until at least tomorrow, I really think he's feeling a little better today. See that chubby, smiley face? In addition to the smiles he's started to fight the mask for his nebulizer treatments - he grabs the tubing with his little hands and feet (how's that for a milestone?). I love the feistiness because an unsmiling, lethargic baby is just scary. I've also heard more and more friends whose kids have had RSV or they know kids who have had it. It doesn't make me any less freaked out about Will, but it helps to know my baby doesn't have a weird mystery disease. I'm also preparing myself for a long two weeks - sounds like that's the norm for babies to really shake this thing. At least our little guy has already given us a month of sleeping through the night so we can easily deal with a couple weeks of all-nighters watching bad reality TV. I tried watching a movie last night but I chose "Waiting for Superman" so at 4 am I was wide awake worrying about my wheezing newborn *and* schools for Jake. Just too much pressure... when does the next season of "Jersey Shore" start!?
