Readmitted again

[kit10grl]

Just back from the hospital.

After being home for a whole month and putting on two wholw pounds since being home i had to take her back in.

Hubby and I have both had colds all week and were hoping she could avoid it but on tues i just had a feeling she wasnt quite right so have been watching her like a hawk all week and today noticed she was breathing much harder, and pale, and she was vomiting a whole lot more.

so off we went to the assessment unit (she has open access so no referal). they looked her over and did a blood gas. Tehy said she was borderline admission cos she seemed so bright and happy, kicking around and stuff. Then she dropped off to sleep and her SATS dropped into the 70 and 80's almost immediatly so they put her on oxygen and admitted her, hopefully not for long but they arent happy for her to be at home with those numbers.


BLOODY STUPID COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

im upset and angry and frustrated we seem to be going in big circles.

and angry at myself for giving her the germs

It was so hard to leave her there this time (hubby works n/s and toddler at home). Felt so wrong walking out without her. Have never really felt that before as we had never gotten used to having her home. but its been a long time now and i was beginning to feel safe. IDIOT.

I'm sorry to read your little girl has gone back into hospital. It must be so hard for you.

She'll be back with you in no time at all though. Out little ones are very resilient, and I'm sure she'll be back to full health again soon.

Unfortunately it comes with having a premature baby. You can't blame yoyrself as she will pick up germs anywhere. Hope she is home soon x

don't beat yourself up, colds are hard to avoid spreading, they really are

I'm sorry hun we just went through this with our little guy. Only out of NICU for three weeks and he was readmitted for a viral lung infection. Just remember that she is where she needs to be right now to get her better, I know its extremely hard and heartbreaking and frustrating... especially after spending os much time in the NICU to have to go back to hospital visits, I can definitely relate.

I hope she gets better quickly and can come home. They did some albuterol and saline nebulizer treatments for my little man when he was in and it really helped open up and break up the gunk in his chest, are they doing something similar for your wee one?

thanks.

yeh shea had a few nebs so far, it does help but not for too long. They are a bit confused as her swabs have all come back clear from bugs this time and they did a chet xray at its all clear too so they arent sure whats going on. Frustrating that she isnt any different really yet, being in the hospital is so hard when tyler cant visit. Means im constantly choosing which child to be with when i just want them both together

I can't even imagine. That would be very hard having two kids and trying to balance that. Keeping your family in thoughts an prayers. I hope they figure out what's going on soon.
