RSV.... 2nd ER Trip This Week.
Samantha has RSV. Yesterday (Friday), I took her to the doctor because she wasn't feeling well. She was coughing a lot, congested, and not eating or sleeping well. They did a chest x- ray and a RSV test on her. They came back positive. The doctor told me what to watch for and if she got worse to take her to ER over the weekend. Last night at 8:30 she started running a fever of 99.9, I gave her Tylenol and at 11 it was 101. So I called the doctor on call and Samantha started having a hard time breathing, she was moaning and groaning. So we went to the ER. When we got there at 11:30 her temp was 101.5 and her oxygen level was 87. A few minutes later her oxygen level was 97. So they get her in a room and her temp is 101.9. So they give her more Tylenol. And hook her up to the machine to get her oxygen level. Her oxygen level kept going from 82-95. So they gave me an oxygen mask and I would have to give her oxygen when her level was lower then 93. So they decided to admit her. We get in a room and everything done at 3 am. We had to deal with a crappy tech that was mouthy about having to hook Samantha up to the machine. They took her temp once in the middle of the name. And then she was released this morning, even though her oxygen level isn't great and now she has an ear infection on top of RSV. We are not happy with the hospital. They didn't giver her any oxygen once she was admitted, even though her level would drop to the 80's. They told me things I am suppose to look for again, even though it is the same thing she has been having the whole time she was in there. We see her doctor again this week, and hopefully she is better by then.
