Well the Byrd family is finally seeing light at the end of a very long tunnel. Addison has been sick with what has been diagnosed several different ways for over 2 months. First she had just a cold, then they said it could be a respiratory infection, then when it was still around 3 weeks later they stated it was a bronchial infection and gave us a inhaler. Well last Sunday Addison was still extremely sick and was having to work really hard to breathe so I called and got her a appointment. My boss who is a nurse told me to be the "crazy mom" who ask for every test that they had and not to let them push us out with a guess at a diagnosis. Well as soon as the receptionist saw Addison breathing she had a nurse look at her and they pulled us back go to the exam room, don't pass go, don't collect $200.
Well the doctor came in told me what her plan of attack was that she was going to do a updraft treatment, send Addison for x-rays, take another treatment and at that time decide if we needed to go to the hospital. Well our x-rays came back with a small amount of fluid but the treatments were not getting Addison any relief so Dr Montgomery explained that Addison was going to need to go to the hospital. Well we checked in Monday evening around 5:00 and the first thing they did was give her a iv and tested her for RSV, by 7:00 the test results showed that YES she did have RSV. Well we spent days at the hospital which I can tell you is NO FUN!! But we now how our baby girl home and are slowly seeing improvements. Please keep our little sweety in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad you guys are home and she is doing much better.
Bless her little heart! I'm glad she's better! Landon tested positive for RSV but we got lucky because he never really showed any symptoms. I still can't figure out how he tested positive!
