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.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.
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.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

That's what we thought she had.
Frustrating is definitely a word for it.

@Jolly how is your Granddaughter?
-
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.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

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.

Scary, though.

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.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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

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

What others have said, hang in there. Hopefully kiddoâs fever broke and she back on the fast track to raising hell.
You havenât been a parent until the little one hands you a raging fever and all that comes with it that scares the living daylights out of you. I know my mother always said she was never too concerned or worried until the mercury in the thermometer hit 104.

Did they get sequenced for omicron?
Doing it here now for every positive pcr.

They're not even allowed to see their own docs, or any doc for that matter, until they have really shitty O2 or temps. So, no way to know, we're on our own.
I'd say odds of Omicron are ??? at this point. I'd say very low, both due to its status in our state right now, and me: we hung out together a LOT. If it was Omicron, I can't see how I wouldn't have gotten infected. I'm testing myself tomorrow but as of right now I feel fine. On the other hand, our daughter got it first, then my wife got it from her. Our daughter doesn't go to daycare. My wife and I work from home. At the timeframe that makes sense for them getting infected, we were spending our time unboxing our stuff from the house move, we weren't out in public. So WTF?
But because there's no way to know, I don't know what my risk of getting fucked up is, and it's just better to have someone not infected in the house, we're playing fun games. I'm wearing a new N95 every time I leave the spare room upstairs, and they're hanging out in the bigger bedroom across the hall. (Door closed.) I'm also wearing gloves and sanitizing the shit out of my hands every time I come back in the room. (Wife and kiddo were going to hold up in the basement, but I tracked the damn ventilation and it seems this is the better move. Besides, no bed in the basement so that would just suck.)
After all this shit, if I get it then I get it. At this point I'm not willing to do anything else.

We parents who have gone through this understand your concerns Aqua. But somehow COVID adds another dimension to it that we never had to deal with.
Hang in there. Hope you don't get it. Hope your family recovers soon.

Yes?
