LO is 5 weeks old today. He's been sick for 10 days now and they've done blood work, X-rays, etc. He sounds so pitiful. DH had the vaccine since he is in the medical field but I wasn't aware of any it and never offered it at the hospital. We have done breathing treatments and a round of steroids. Now onto a round of antibiotics to hope t clears it up!
Hope everyone feels better soon. I had it in high school and it was miserable. My mom said my brother had it as an infant and it was very scary. So sorry to hear it has got your household
I am really surprised that neither your doctor or the hospital ever offered you the vaccine! They are supposed to. I would be pretty pissed about that if I was you. I hope your baby is better soon.
Thank you! I'm happy to say that LO is already starting to perk up after two doses of antibiotics. He wasn't hospitalized since his oxygen level was pretty good only dipping when he would sleep. If he didn't perk up by today I'm sure she would've admitted him today.
Thank you! We had a scare this morning where he had blood he coughed up in his mucous. They think it may have been from a cut caused by the suctioning of his nose. He's starting to be awake more and will be 48 hours since we startes the medicine and should continue to get better!
