Hospitalized with bronchitis.

Sick With Bronchitis
Pulse ox
Sleeping during a breathing treatment


In January of 2010 we took Brooklyn to the urgent care center due to her having a fever, cough congestion, and runny nose. The doctor checked her oxygen level and said that she was dipping down in the 70's, and that she felt we needed to take her to the hospital to be monitored!!! We took her to wise county, where she received IV antibiotics and oxygen. They diagnosed her as having bronchitis and were released a couple of hours later. The next day brook woke up around 8:00 AM then fell back asleep & slept from about 10:00 AM to about 5:00 PM She had rapid breathing, fever, and same symptoms as the day before. She wouldn't drink anythink and I feared that she was going to become dehydrated. We decided to call the doctor to see if we should bring her back in. She reccommended that we take her to Cooks children's where all of her specialists are. We were there in a packed waiting room but only waited about 5 min. to go back, and they decided that we were going to stay. We were monitored for 3 days, and her fever broke, she was doing much better and we were released!!!
