Cathy in IL Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My 4 yo ds and I spent the day in the ER. He woke with a fever and cough and chest pain. The chest x-ray was hazy. They gave him IV meds, oral meds, fluids, and a breathing treatment and sent me home with him to monitor him. He goes back in the morning for more IV meds and a recheck. If he gets worse before then, they said to bring him right back in. They said to stop the chemo while he is sick, but his counts looked pretty good. I am glad to be home I guess. I mean, I like the fact that they trust my judgement and know I can care for him. It just takes a lot of energy and diligence to continually assess how he is. The nebs around the clock get tiring, and by 2AM, I start questioning my judgement. I sent the baby I have been caring for with her mom for a visit for a few days. That way if we have to run out in the middle of the night, I only have my 3. They are used to getting up and running to the hospital, but it's harder with an infant. Pray that he starts getting better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
