If she gets diagnosed, I will be asking lots of questions....<BR/><BR/>Heather: As I said to Erica, I will eventually have lots of questions... Thanks! :)<BR/><BR/>Debbeblue: First, thank you for taking the time to write all that... Im very happy to hear that your daughter is healthy now, and I also had a kid episodes like this (so my husband), but was never diagnosed with Asthma, as it wasnt (I guess just like your daughter).<BR/><BR/>I do will love to know what is PT?? I cant think of anything... As for my girl, Im also very positive that she is going to be alright. She is the most active of all my girls, but I hope this doesnt interfere with her normal life.

I know that this is a tough, and...Hi, I'm so sorry. I know that this is a tough, and scary time. Just a comment, though. My daughter, Ellie, had RSV last January and was hospitalized for 8 days. She was 9 months. She had the wheezing, the low oxygen sats, the crackle...it developed into bronchitis. We neb'd her there and did PT and oral meds. She had oxygen at night and was hooked up to a moniter...and she is FINE today. She's a healthy beautiful girl of 16 months. Children have delicate respiratory systems and this happens. Sometimes it's a function of just not being able to clear muchus correctly. Follow the drs orders but - and this is NOT medical advice - but what also worked for us was lots of bulb suctioning and back PT. I did pt on own, without the nurses, 4 to 5 times a day while she was in. We took her home and continued to give meds, neb and put her in the shower etc. And she was rights as roses not long after. Your little one is going to be ok, she will. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile - mine has had 3 episodes since, and it's NOT Asthma. It's just a function of her inability to clear muchus. If you get an asthma diagnosis, please please get a second opinion before you treat. We are giving our daughter asthma meds at the sign of every cold but my dr assures us that this is "preventative" and she fully expects her to outgrow it by 6 years. So DONT worry yet. Many children just need their respiratory systems to develop and your daughter's might just be teeny. Your beautiful girl is going to be well soon. Best to you.debbebluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302061396951489741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97825497046909597.post-12096577583919503122008-09-14T17:43:00.000-04:002008-09-14T17:43:00.000-04:00Oh no, I hope she is better soon.
