Nakia Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Last month Emma got a cold and two days later, she was in respiratory distress. She had pneumonia with asthmatic qualities (she had strep throat too, but that's another story). It was bad. We were *this close* to a hospital stay. They only let her come home with me because I'm a nurse. I was truly terrified. It was the same week that my oldest had that mysterious facial swelling and hives. Not a good week. Anyway, Emma's allergies are acting up and she has had cold symptoms all day. Now she is in bed and coughing. This is EXACTLY how it started last time. I was working overnight, and Patrick called me really early in the morning to tell me she was coughing and wheezing. When I got home, she was terribly sick, lethargic, high fever, respiratory distress, etc. I don't want her to be like that again. It was awful. Can you please pray she stays well and this passes quickly? Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Praying. I had asthmatic bronchitis as a child, every time I caught a cold. I sympathize. Vicks vapor rub on the chest really helped me to sleep, and still does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Praying! :grouphug: I've had more than one kiddo hospitalized on oxygen - I know how scary these breathing issuse can be. I assume you've already started albuterol (and an inhaled steroid?) at the first sign - consider doing the albuterol every 4 hours overnight. I know, no sleep :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogMom5 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Praying for Emma. :grouphug: That's a scary situation. Fwiw, my oldest had similiar problems. After yrs. of allergies quickly turning into pneumonia and asthma attacks, we had his adenoids taken out. Now, he's fine. He gets colds now and then but never asthma or pneumonia. I hope she is able to fight this off and recover w/out having to go to the hospital. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I just said a prayer. I would watch her closely. I mean CLOSELY and go early even if you are a little concerned! Don't mess around with lungs/breathing, but you know this being a nurse. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
