So it has been a bit since my last blog, "it" hit us and so far has only affected the boys!
Friday March.4 Kailen woke up and could not breath, sounded croupy but way worse, after awhile I ended up taking him to emergency room to be seen. Croup and a bad asthma attack in which he panicked cause he sounded weird breathing and could not get his breathe, so that made his asthma attack worse. By Sunday he was feverish, crabby, achy, stuffy runny nose and no appetite. He missed school Monday and Wednesday ( he goes Mon/wed/Fri) and was so upset but gave him motivation to "get the boogies out" so he could go to school on Friday.
Tuesday middle of the night, Keegan woke with that all familiar sound, croup. So outside we went into the cold night to see if that would help..... it did after the 3rd time doing that. Over the next couple days he started to sound worse and worse and get more sick. Feverish, runny nose, cough that would cause him to not be able to get his breathe, (kind of like he suffered from for over 4 months). Finally Saturday arrived and off to the emergency room I took him, after a chest x ray, RSV nasal flush to send to the lab and a nebulizer treatment Keegan was advised to take it easy. He was also diagnosed with pneumonia and put on anti-biotic and once again home nebulizer treatments 2 - 4 times a day.
oh I am not looking forward to it if I end up getting this cold/flu bug thing, what ever it is!! For this family it seems to go straight to our lungs........oh yeah!! But better to get it now and get over it before we are going to the U.S.A the first week of April to see family.
NOW IS THE CLEAN AND SANITIZE EVERYTHING TIME!!
I had to take Ryanne to the ER Saturday night. She was fine, took a nap, woke up and couldn't breathe. She's got croup and is just miserable. I'm just hoping Greyson doesn't get it.
ReplyDeleteHope the boys feel better soon.
