Gosh - hoping for the best Aqua for you and your family. Really hope the kiddo stays relatively comfortable.

Yeah - speaks for all of us. Hope it is all a short encounter with no lasting effects.

Thanks, everybody. Here's hopin'.

EDIT
Kiddo's still at 102.5 fever, 90-93 O2. That's really low to me, but doc said they won't even admit her if it doesn't fall below 90. So, great.

Ugh. Nothing worse than when your kiddo is sick.

Ugh, indeed.

How does she feel, other than coughing?

90 is pretty much the bright line, especially if beds are at a premium. My 8 month old granddaughter wound up in PICU a few weeks back and they didn't admit her until her sat hit about that point.

It's very, very, extremely, frustrating when children are sick.

Do the standard pulse ox’s get a good reading on fingers that tiny?

Just to clarify...She didn't have COVID. Her rapid RSV was negative, but if that child didn't have RSV, I'll kiss your ass on Main Street.

That's what we thought she had.

Frustrating is definitely a word for it.

@Jolly how is your Granddaughter?

[Doctor Phibes]

My daughter had RSV when she was about a month old. Back then, of course, nobody owned an oxygen meter. We noticed because her lips went blue, and she stopped breathing for about 20 seconds after feeding. She spent a week under observation in Boston Children's hospital, and it went away of its own accord.

Just fine. Steroids, Albuterol, O2 and time work wonders. The initial visit to the pediatrician is where the ball got dropped...My son and his wife have now changed providers.

Oh yeah, at the time it was very worrying. I'd never even heard of RSV back then.

The worst part about this shit are the ups and downs. Last night was scary. Bad O2 numbers, bad fever. As of this second, though, our daughter is 98% O2, 99 fever.

But what will tonight be like? This illness just never fucking ends. And who knows, maybe my wife will take a turn for the worse, too. Here's hoping not, but it seems to be an incredibly long haul with many ups and downs.

Hang in there, Aqua. It will get better.

Thanks for the update, buddy.

Glad the little one is no worse.

Please keep us updated. We're family, you know.

Kids get sick fast, but they get well fast, too. I know it seems like an eternity, but hang in there.

[LuFins Dad]

It’s been 48 hours since the COVID test. She very probably had another virus before then got nailed with this shit. It feels longer than it’s been.
