ER Visit.

I cannot think of anything worse then seeing your poor baby feeling awful. And hearing the nasty cough that just rattles her chest. And seeing her eyes and face turn red from choking on the mucous.

My sweet girl has been sick since Wednesday night and I'm so ready for this to be over.

We went to the Dr. first thing Thursday morning and they said it was just a cold, and nothing they can do, just to watch her. Nobody should be allowed to tell brand new,first time parents that!!

Friday night she had a fever of 101 but it broke with Tylenol. Saturday afternoon it got back up to 100.4 and broke with Tylenol again. But we could hear a rattling in her chest and she was having a hard time breathing, so my sister and I decided to take her to hospital.

While we were waiting, she started projectile vomiting all of her milk. And choking on her mucous when she coughed.

My poor girl.

 When we got to the room, 2 nurses and a doctor came right in. They swabbed her nose (ouch) and confirmed she has RSV. She had a breathing treatment. And then listened to her again and said that it didn't really do anything for her.

Then Grandma texted and even though we were almost done, insisted on rushing to see her little angel baby. ;) There was a moment they thought she might be admitted if she kept throwing up, but she managed to drink some Pedialyte and keep it down.

 

 

 Some other notes about our first ER trip:
1. Eleanor had a blow out up the pack of her pajamas.
2. My sister made fun of me for putting a bow on her to go to the hospital.
3. We were there from 8:00pm to 11:30.
4. We kind of felt like lepers because every nurse/dr/info lady would put on the mask before coming in and more than one said, I heard your husband had the flu last week. And one trio called themselves the masked brigade.
4. Eric was at work and couldn't come because of a catering, but he kept up via text. And let us know that he would come if Ellie asked for her dad.

 

We can't wait for you to feel better, Eleanor girl. You are so loved.
