How are we here AGAIN?!
I made a post a few weeks ago when my then 3 week old had to be admitted to the hospital for Influenza A and another virus. I got home and was baby was good for about a week. My 5 year old came home early this week with a cough and I was like oh no. So I tried as much as I possibly could to keep them separate.
Two days ago the baby started with a cough, the next day he was wheezing so I took him to the pediatrician and when she saw his breathing she told me to take him straight to the hospital. I got to the hospital and the Dr was a total bitch. She was like I don't know why your Dr told you to come here. I'm like well my 5 weeks old is obviously having trouble breathing and is sick. The did a bunch of tests on him and sent me home to wait on the results.
His breathing had been getting worse throughout the day and I was contemplating coming back to the hospital . Then I got a call from them saying baby tested positive for RSV. I came straight back to the hospital and thank God that same Dr wasn't here. The new Dr was so mad she sent us home. They immediately put him on forced oxygen and admitted us.
I feel like a complete failure. Going into this pregnancy I felt like a pro. I thought My 4th boy I GOT THIS!! Nope 👎 I've never felt so utterly helpless and so disappointed in myself. I can't believe this is happening to my baby. My other boys , so far, have been medically fine besides the common cold and this baby has been so terribly sick in just his 5 weeks of life! I just don't know what to do anymore.
