Ear Infections, RSV, and Stomach Virus

For the past few days Savannah has had a runny nose and horrible cough. You can hear the fluid in her lungs even when she breathes. I took her to our pediatrician yesterday and it turns out she has RSV and 2 ear infections. Poor thing. RSV is going around at our church so I'm assuming that's where she got it. I weaned her one week ago and what a coincidence that she gets sick shortly thereafter. Bad timing right? Man, that's frustrating. I can't help but to blame myself for her getting sick. I keep thinking if I wouldn't have weaned her she would still be getting my antibodies and wouldn't have gotten sick. So, I've picked back up with nursing once a day. Yes, even after a week I amazingly still had milk.

Then there's poor Benjamin. At 4 o'clock this morning he wakes up with another stomach virus. That's twice in less than 2 weeks. Is that even possible? Maybe it's something he's eating or maybe it's a virus? Not sure but I sure hate that for him.
