Well, as you could have guessed, Will and Kate picked up some of Ben's congestion and cough and come Monday, Kate was not handling it too well. She was coughing and retracting with her breathing, so I took her to the doctor, where they had to increase her oxygen, from .2 to .5 or so. This meant an overnight in the hospital for observation and testing.
I wasn't even allowed to come home and had to wait at the pediatrician's office until they had a room available for her. Once over there, they did a chest x-ray for pneumonia, testing for RSV and pertussis (sp.?). Everything came back negative -thank goodness!! After some mucous management, they were able to ween her oxygen back down to .3 and we went home Tuesday evening. Since, then she has gotten better, but is still not 100%, but getting there. We have their 6-month check on the 16th, so I will try and update again with weights and what is next for them.
