Have you ever seen someone lose their mind? Well, if not, and you are curious, come on over to our house.
Mia is sick. Like really sick. Like wheezing, retracting, breathing treatments and fever.
I am a kook when it comes to my daughter being sick. Add to that that I am an RN with a photographic memory of pathologies, and you have an over protective mother with tendency to go all diagnostic at the first sign of acute illness. I have rattled off phrases such as septicemia, RSV, pneumonia, retractions and a whole host of other rare and fatal illnesses to my PA husband….who, by the way, would remain calm even if Satan himself showed up at our front door to ask for a glass of ice water.
RSV seems to be in the lead in the “Jack with Mia’s lungs” category. We are off to the doc again this morning. Virus’ and bacteria……..damnthemalltohell.
Poor girl! Hope she feels better soon. I’d think being a nurse would make you calmer. And yes, I’ve seen myself losing my mind last winter when Anya had several respiratory viruses as a newborn, including croup at 6 weeks, which required ER visits.
Thanks Belinda. She does seem to have RSV. All symptoms indicate it. Small possiblility it is the flu, but doubtful.
Thanks so much for the well wishes.
ohh, dear. here’s hoping for something much less serious than rsv. keep us posted.
