This IgA disease wasn't even the reason for our visit to the PEDs Dr today... but we learned something hopefully useful. So Madison still has a fever. It seems this bug is getting worse. Of course it is...
She caught the virus RSV. NO idea, but I have a good knowledge from where. She'll have it for 14 days and be contagious for 7 days. She will get worse before she gets better. Although, I'm not sure how much worse you can be at 104.5 degrees before you are on fire.
This so called "cold" develops into an infection of the lungs causing bronchial problems which can lead to other illnesses and problems. Oh how I pray this does NOT happen! Especially lying here next to her listening to her struggle to breathe... this sucks!!!
Forget that... I should not have been a Dr I should have married one, or at least find a live in one as we are there weekly! Ha!
Poor baby sounds horrible! With her coughing she just woke herself up :( What do I do?

Madison Belle
I'm frustated because their has been a product available for viruses like RSV for more than 30 years that work for RSV. It is available in Eastern Europe and Russia but not in the US. It is called low dose oral alpha interferon and stops viruses in their tracts. Look it up up and you will be schocked that a product that could help Maddy is not available. My prayers will be with her.
