Julian is being readmitted right now to childrens. I am blogging from the er admit room. We are waiting for a bed.
They are worried about his massive work of breathing. he has a croupe type cough, severe subcostal retractions in his chest, and is wheezing and suffering while he breathes.
What is good is his pco2 is 47 and he tested negative for the first lab for RSV.
what is bad is how he looks, how he sounds, and his scary retractions and the noise he is making as he tries to suck in air. they are treating him with epiniphrine and dexamethasone and trying to keep it coming so that we can hopefully treat him just with meds and not have to talk about more serious interventions.
we are scared and sad to be back in the hospital. thank you to irene and tal and hannah who are hosting gigi all day. Lei is fetching us food so we don't have to eat at the hospital and we are putting one foot in front of the other. The residents just told us that we look exhausted and terrible and need to get more sleep. I am surprised scott didn't give him one of those lethal darting looks.
Poor jules.
