I haven't wrote on this for a while so I decided that I would write about my weekend with a baby that has RSV.... I have never had to deal with RSV before casue my other 3 never got it...
Saturday Morning 2-19-2011 Brooklyn woke up with a fever and was throwing up. So I decided to take her to the doctor. Her doctor wasn't on call so we had to go to a different one. I liked the doctor we went to. We found out that she has a ear infection and sore throat. So he give us a prescription to take care of that. After we decide we might want to hurry and get Katelyn's birthday presnets since we haven't yet, and her birthday was 8 days away. We got home and she seemed to be fine.
Around 8:30 pm I tried to feed Brooklyn her bottle ( she didn't want to eat cause of her throat but she was straving) I finally got her to drink 4 ounces ( she drinks 6 ounces but I was lucky to get her to drink 4) About 10 minutes later she throw up all over Mark's blanket, the couch, and me. So I gave her to Mark to claim her down, but then she throw up all over Mark and the other couch. I took her in my room to clean her up and everyhting else and then she throw up all over my bed!!!!!! I told Mark I'm going to take her to the ER.
Mark looked out the door and saw that we were having a snow storm (stupid snow) Mark called his mom and she took the the kids so we could go to the ER. On the way their there was 2 crashes (NICE) When I walked in it was so busy I was like great we are going to be here forever. I tried to call my parents to let them know that we took Brooklyn there. My parents have like 6 different phones in their house and NO ONE could anwser any of them. I knew John and Jessica might have been sleeping but I tried theirs.
We got in after 45 min wait. They weighed her and looked at her ears... They hooked her up to a monitor so check her oxgyen. She was coughing so hard and her poor nose was running! They finally came in to suck her boogies out of her nose to check to see if she has RSV. My poor baby screamed so loud that I never heard her scream like that before when they put the tube up her nose. They came back 45 mintues later to tell us that they want to have X-rays done on her to see if she has anything in her lungs... When we came back they told us that she has RSV, and everything in her lungs looks good (Thank goodness). They sent us home after 3 1/2 hours!!
So over the weekend and part of this week I thought she was getting better, til today after we saw the doctor for her 4 month check up. When we got home, she started to throw up. She did it 4 times. I called the doctor to see if I need to bring her back in and they told me to look for, if she doesn't wet her diapers in 8 -16 hours, stop eating, or has problems breathing to bring her in!!!! My poor baby. I don't wish for anyone to deal with this???????
