Dillon spent his 1st Christmas in the ER

PearlGirl519 · December 2009

On the 24th, I took him to the pedi and he was dx with a double ear infection. We were given an antibiotic and a decongestant.

On the 25th, we were in Florida visiting family and he started wheezing and breathing rapidly. We took him to a local ER and they gave him a breathing treatment, a shot of antibiotics, took some blood and a chest x-ray.

This morning I took him to our pedi to have him looked at and the pedi dx him with walking pneumonia, we were given a steroid to take for the next 5 days. They said if he went for 8 hours w/o a wet diaper, became very irritable, or had more than 60 breaths a minute, they would admit him.

Keep us in your T&P, please.

Oh no!!! I spent my first 3 Christmases in the er.....with pneumonia. Poor thing. I hope he responds quickly to the meds and does not have to be admitted.

Sorry to hear that PG. Did they test him for RSV? Sounds like it could be that, or could have been. Lily was diagnosed with it last weekend and it has been (by far) the scariest thing we've been through with her.

Hope all is well at your house. Try to relax and take it easy.
