My baby 3 hours before being rushed to emergency room see what being around nature does to my kid |
Our child had a slight cold when we left and I thought to myself and then vocalized to my husband that I had a feeling in my gut that this trip was not going to end well.....and what happened it did not end well. It ended with my daughter GG in the emergency room is some strange town in an unfamiliar state. Because my daughters cold escalated to full on viral infection she was so congested and full if crude that she could no breath her fever was through the roof because she felt so sick she was not drinking fluids which causes dehydration. She was listless and had not life and energy left in her body and she was not breathing normally. Super concerned we headed to the hospital. Now I am not particular fond of emergency rooms like I am sure most people are not but this one was particular scary. Their were allot of big ass security guards and some super shady looking people. I also noticed allot of people who were wearing surgical face masks - is their a zombie apocalypse that I am not aware of? When I asked the nurses they informed me that they have had huge respiratory viruses in the area because of the weird weather the plants/trees are shooting some really potent pollen in the air and making it really hard for people to breath. Husband and I spent 5 hours in the emergency room they were worried because of the high fever and because she was not drinking they had to give her most of the fever reducers through her cute little butt. They also ran chest x rays to make sure her lungs were clear which they were. I felt so bad for GG she looked so helpless and just what a shitty beginning to a trip that was supposed to be fun. This also sucked for the bride because GG was supposed to be a flower girl and by the looks of GG she was probably not going to be able to make it.
Once we were done and we were ready to be released we were placed into a room to wait for check out. While in this room this is what I got to stare at.....WTF really really? A whole scary as shit board all about the dangers of bed bugs. I then looked to my left and they had a scary ass board on strokes I could not even take a picture of it because it was that freaky all I wanted to do was get the hell out of there like now.....We got her to the hotel room and started to give her meds. I was not able to make the rehearsal dinner but I needed to make sure she got better so she could make the wedding.
To be continued........

O.M.G. - hope everything turns out ok... or at least better!
Aww give that baby a hug for me. And here's a hug for you too. {{{hug}}}
Did you go thru O Hare? If so, I'm sorry. That airport does suck. Midway is so much better. I try to avoid O Hare if I can.
HOLY SH*T. What a nightmare. We actually had to take Maya to the emergency room last week, too, for a sky-high fever that wouldn't respond to medication. So I feel your pain. Although I think your trip to the ER was worse than mine. But I hope you're happy at least that everyone was wearing a face mask! NONE of the sick-*ss people at our ER wore one. Grrrr.
