Hospitalization

Poor little girl has been sick as a dog since Sunday. Just when we thought she was getting better, she took a turn for the worse. We rushed her to the Pediatric ER when her fever returned this morning. She was so lethargic, but still put up a good fight everytime the nurses came to perform more tests on her to find out what was wrong. Finally, we got a diagnosis of an RSV infection. Just glad it's not pneumonia! There is really no cure, but just supportive treatments to ease her symptoms. So they got her in a little toddler hospital gown and decked her out in full hospital regalia.


She has a breathing tube that delivers oxygen, a few stick-on sensors for her vital signs, and an IV port just in case she needs more fluids. The IV port is right on the inside of her elbow, so to prevent her from bending it too much they put a piece of board there. She looks like she's got a broken arm too, but it's the IV.

After a couple doses of Tylenol, Motrin, and Albuterol treatments in the ER, we got a room in the pediatric ward. Looks like we're staying here for a couple of days...

Little fighter definitely got better in the afternoon cause she's EATING again! She hasn't had much of an appetite which is very abnormal for her. We just have to get her lungs to sound smoother and we'll be able to go home. Hopefully that'll come tomorrow.
