Pneumonia

I hate pneumonia! Addy has it in both lungs. It hit hard and fast! She started a tiny cough Friday night. Seemed fine Saturday morning with just a few episodes of coughing. When she woke up from her nap she had a temp of 102 which is really high for her. She seemed ok though! Yesterday she ran a temp around 100-101 and still just a little cough. This morning she had a temp of 99.6 and seemed very tired. Her pulse ox was 79, then 84 then 87. I gave her a breathing treatment and it went to 90. Still not good. So I took her to the doctor. Her ped is on a cruise but we saw the nurse practioner and I loved her! Addy really wasn't acting too bad, just puffy eyes and tired. She checked her out and said she didn't hear anything in her lungs but took her pulse ox and it was 89. They gave her another breathing treatment and it went to 91. They needed it to be above 93 to let me take her home :( The doc on call ordered a chest x-ray and had me take her home since it was almost lunchtime. So we got home and waited for the call. Sure enough Addy had pneumonia in both lungs but they felt it was viral, however, wanted to start antibiotics and more nebs. I was to monitor her all afternoon and let them know if she fell lower in her sats or acted worse. After her nap her pulse ox was 85 :( So that got us a one way ticket to admission. So here we are in the hospital :( Her x-ray from when we got here was worse than the one from the morning. So she is on IV Rocephin and continuing oral (lol g-tube) Zithromax and one other IV antibiotic. Her sats are now okay on 1 liter of oxygen. Her heart rate continues to climb at times so that's a little worrisome but not too bad. They took labs and I'll find out soon if they show anything. Prayers appreciated for my baby girl!
