Thankful for RSV?

Weird, right? Yesterday evening Andrew had a fever & was a little grumpy, but no other symptoms. Of course, when you're Andrew this means a trip to Arnold Palmer's ER to find the cause. This is because it is uncertain whether or not Andrew's spleen is functional. People without a functioning spleen are at risk for rapidly progressing infections that might start with no other symptom than fever. It was not a fun visit, though we are grateful for the great care our boy gets at APH. Took 4 tries to get a blood sample / IV line (just in case). Steve & I agree that was horrible & I'm pretty sure Andrew's subsiding anxiety about going to the doctor's will now be back full force. So we find ourselves in the interesting situation of being thankful the fever is explained by RSV, a virus that Andrew received monthly shots to prevent through the end of flu season after he turned 2. Something that posed such a risk for our baby has been literally taken in stride by our big boy. If you saw him now, your wouldn't even know he was sick. I remember praying so frequently over our baby that God would make a way for him to live & I smile now to think when our God goes for something, He goes all out : )
