Darn Coxsackie virus


So I'm not sure if we've mentioned how the darn coxsackie virus has wreacked havoc on our household. Linden and I both got sick a few days after Evie was born and John was sick for a month before that - some how Evie appeared to have missed the infection - perhaps the miracle of breast milk. But Friday night she had a really high fever and because she is still so young and they overly cautious for good reason with infants we had to take her to CHOP (children's hospital of Philadelphia) for all manner of tests and torture to determine that she most likely had a virus and therefore there was nothing we could do to treat it. By Saturday evening she was fine. Wish I recovered that fast!! Thank goodness we live so close to such a great hospital and thank goodness MamaSu was here so at least Linden got some sleep Friday night. Print this post
