Katie Boo was sneezing and coughing a lot early last week. We took her to the pediatrician who said that she was developing bronchitis...and to watch her closely. By the next day, she was wheezing and not eating well. When we called the pediatrician's office to get her back in...they were closed due to the snow. So, when she continued to have trouble breathing we took her in to Children's Hospital's Emergency room.
They admitted her to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon on oxygen and an iv. They tested her and determined that she had the RSV virus. The scary thing about this lower respiratory virus is that the poor baby expends so much energy trying to get enough oxygen that they can get so tired out that they stop breathing all together.
Katie and I stayed in the hospital for three days. She is much better now, thanks to the supportive care that she received...but it was a scary experience...poor little baby.
