My god do I wish someone would’ve warned me. Obviously I know school aged kids get sick but this year has just been awful. I had my daughter on October 12th. By Halloween we were admitted to the hospital with rsv. Came home November 7th, she spent the next 3 weeks recovering. December 7th, all three kids diagnosed with covid. Thankfully covid hardly affected them. Then boom, December 22nd all three kids diagnosed with Flu A. All three have seemingly recovered but my 2.5 month old is still congested. Has pretty much been congested since birth. I’ve ran a cool mist humidifier for 2 months. Suctioned this baby girl 3-5 times a day for 2 months. Stopped at one point because I thought it was making it worse. Definitely wasn’t making it worse. I bought an owlet monitor because I’m so paranoid about her breathing. I’ve done everything and then some to prevent sickness and it’s not worked a single time. Our pediatricians office and the emergency room feel more like home than our actual home at this point. I would kill for my daughter to be able to breathe without all this snot.

I’m just exhausted and needed to vent, from one mom to another, thanks for reading.
