Just back from the hospital....(update from Dr's visit)

Original post by Stacey1403

.......When we went to the Dr. and they told us to head right to the hospital because Damien's pulse/ox levels were too low and that he might have RSV. So we are both freaking out, we get to Stonybrook and go to pediatric urgent care and luckily get right in because of our wonderful Dr. who called ahead and said to see us right away(boy did we get dirty looks) He had to have a chest x-ray, which luckily came back clear for no pneumonia. They gave him the nebulizer and steroids, which got his levels up, but his breathing didn't really improve and his chest was sucking in. So they are debating whether to admit him or not. I thought I was going to lose my mind. They finally decide after speaking with our peditrician, that we can take him home but we must be seen first thing tomorrow morning and we have to keep doing the nebulizer every 4 hours and we have to give him steroids. I feel so emotionally drained We had thought we were only going to the Dr. so we had not really eaten. It is good to be home Tonight we will sleep in shifts to make sure he is breathing ok. When I called my Mom to give her the update she said 'Welcome to Motherhood' ain't that the truth
