RSV Season is Here

It’s time to start washing your hands more and keeping those countertops disinfected; it’s RSV season. I’m fairly certain we’ve got a case of it circulating our house, since this morning I heard the tell tale “barking cough” coming from my son’s room and his nose has been running like crazy. He’s been taking extra naps, drinking plenty of fluids and seems to be improving as the day progresses. I put him to bed an hour early tonight and I’m hoping that the extra sleep will help rid him of this illness. RSV is one of the most common respiratory … Continue reading →

Respond Please

I don’t get. What is so hard about saying “yes” or “no” to a party invitation? Especially if the bash is for a child. A young child who doesn’t understand why some of his friends didn’t show up for his safari-themed shindig. Or worse, why some said they’d be there, and then bailed at the last minute.

It’s the parents hosting the party who could stand to channel more of that forgiving nature. Of course, I certainly don’t … Continue reading →
