ER
Thursday - 8 hour road trip to Georgia.
Friday - Good times with family in South Carolina.
Saturday evening - In local hospital ER, Gracie was in acute respiratory distress.
How long has she had asthma?
She hasn't.
Let's do a chest x-ray, she probably has pneumonia.
No, she doesn't have pnuemonia. Neither does she have bronchitis.
IV antibiotics.
IV form of prednizone.
Liquid form of prednizone.
Vomit.Vomit.Vomit.
5 albuteral treatments.
Discharged early Sunday morning with 3 oral prescriptions.
Drove home lickety-split Monday.
Straight to pediatrician.
Change of treatment plan.
Proud new owners of our very own nebulizer machine.
Taking antibiotics and prednizone 2 times a day. The nebulizer twice a day and more as needed due to the coughing.
In 3 weeks we do pulmonary tests for asthma.
I am exhausted.
Steven cut another tooth over the weekend.
Colby colored and highlighted her hair.
I'll tell you more when I get a tiny bit of sleep and get over this tired to the bone feeling.
Oh my! Hope Gracie is feeling a lot better, how scary. Glad you mentioned the other two and seeing at least they were fine. How'd Colby's hair turn out?
I can not imagine how terrified all of you were!
I am glad that, though tired, things are straightening out.
Hope everyone is feeling better soon, wow how scary!
Oh no! I don't trust ER docs as far as I can throw them. I have yet to meet one that I actually thought was a competent physician. I took Elle once when she was 6 weeks old. She had whooping cough. They couldn't diagnose it. Sent me home with no answers to wait on a trip to the pediatrician. In the mean time, I had a baby that coughed herself red, purple, then blue all night long. I cried all night.
Oh, Angie, I am SO sorry to hear it. I hope Gracie will be well soon, and not have asthma.
I have wondered where you were and how you were doing. Get some rest!
Yipes! I hope she is alright. Big hugs to you all.
Ahh, motherhood. Check your head for new gray hairs. Give us another update soon to let us know how she's doing. xoxo
Lordy... what a nightmare, hope she is on the mend.
P.S... I puffy heart our nebulaizer machine... and my stash of liquid albuterol.
Hope you and your Gracie are feeling better.
Hope you and your Gracie are feeling better.
Hope you and your Gracie are feeling better.
OH MY!!!
