from our first hospitalisation with William!!
I want to scream but i do not even have the energy LOL.
Matthew had bronchiolitis a couple of weeks ago. He had it bad enough that we went to the ER twice because he was just coughing and vomitting and feeling pretty terrible. They told us there was not much we could do about it. So finally, he got over it.
Then William started feeling sick – he was coughing etc etc. On Tuesday, i decided it was time to take him to the doctor, just in case. Well, the doctor said that he was fine, just a cold and he should be better in a couple of days. With our luck, he started vomitting after the appointment, could not keep anything down, was breathing hard and having a hard time just lying around… so we went to the ER… i am glad we did. his oxygen levels were down to the low 80s, he was retracting, vomitting and not eating… they told us we had to be admitted and that he had bronchiolitis… which turned out to be RSV!! So, he was on oxygen and on IV fluids for about 8 hours after which he started feeling better… stopped retracting and the labored breathing stopped. We were just released… So, it was a tough couple of days for the little man who is still not eating much but given he is only 6weeks old, we were sent home.
On top of that, he is not feeling great and not feeding well, even before the RSV… so we saw the GI while we were inpatient. We will see her again on the 7th of Jan… until then we are on increased prevacid and elecare (we switched from Neocate)… we will prob have a swallow study, given that it was the only test Matthew never had and then are discussing reglan/erythromycin for this little guy… she said we need to prevent the tube for this one… We have to give him sometime to get over the rsv and then we will have a plan hopefully.
UGGHHH is all i want to say. Sorry to just come and vent…
