The pediatrician was very alarmed by her coughing and said she didn't "look right" so sent us over to the ER for more tests. Four hours later, we find she has RSV which basically means she has a bad cold. It's a relief because the fear was that she had whooping cough, which has another name I can't remember, and in infants it doesn't make them whoop. I'm sure there is much more information that I should impart, but the sleeplessness, the long day, etc. have stolen it from my brain pan. The short story is that she needs to be kept upright as much as possible so she's sleeping right now on my chest. The doctor said it might get worse before it gets better. Hooray for THAT. We just have to make sure she doesn't have a fever. #
