B started with rapid breathing around 5:30 Friday evening. We had started with her nebulizer, but didn't have the anticipated results. Thanks to the nudging of Nurse Juju, I did call her PCP, who recommended her being seen if her breaths exceeded 60/min. And so @ 11:30pm Sat. night, we (me & super-trooper Mimi) were out for a car ride.
ER had a line 6 deep, but once we checked in, they took her to triage asap, with rapid breathing & a temp of 104.4. 102 was the highest we had seen at the house. Chest x-ray showed nothing, but after some Tylenol, Prednisone, & Ammox., she was WIRED & fever free, crawling up & down the gurney & playing peek a boo behind the curtain & asking for Doc-tor Woo. They diagnosed with Pneumonia, from listening to her chest after her airways opened up a bit. Back home around 4:40am. Little buger was wide awake @ 8:10 this morning. Did I mention she didn't sleep at all at the hospital? SO happy to see her feeling better! And I am going to bed super early tonight!
