Update: After the doctor yesterday, Andie slept pretty much all day. After one scary moment of chocking on her own congested-ness until she puked, I think she is now on the mend. She has her appetite back and is once again playing with us and being happy and silly. Prayers are being answered.
:-)
Almost 2 weeks ago we all came down with head colds.
It's been running it course and we've all been pretty much over it, but Andie has taken a turn for the worse.
I took her to the Dr. today.
She has Bronchiolitis (Infection of the tiny passages leading to the lungs) being caused by one of 3 things.
Rhinovirus - Which there is none of in the area right now
Metapneumovirus - Which there is a little of in the area right now
or
RSV - Which there is a lot of in the area right now.
Right now she is hovering on the border of turning a corner, hopefully she will start to heal, if not she may end up in the hospital.
The Dr. is worried about her Oxygen levels being in the low 90's and said if they go below 90 she needs to be hospitalized on Oxygen.
She won't really eat solid foods, but will take a bottle. If she starts refusing her bottle, she will need to be hospitalized on an IV.
Her fever is hovering around 100.5, if she hits 102 instead of getting better I have to take her back in to be looked at again.
Poor little thing doesn't have much energy, and isn't too happy.
But she has been blessed with good health so far in life and I'm confident with prayers she can kick this soon. This was her first visit to the Dr. that wasn't a well child check-up so that's pretty good.
So for now we are resting at home on lots Tylanol waiting for this to pass.
