Re: Leah is very sick! Now what?

[Guest guest]

,

I hope Leah is feeling better! Does she have RSV?

The exit casting is far less important than taking care of her

illness.

When you call to reschedule ask what signs you should look for to tell

that the band no longer fits. Cece's measurements, etc are 12/30.

She hasn't been wearing the band for the last week. She was tugging

at it and pulling the velcro. That never happened before.

Hopefully the medicine will work and she is feeling better soon!

I hate the breathing treatments! We have been doing them on and off

for a year w/my Allie. Just get her better and reschedule the exit

cast, a week or two after her graduation won't make much of a

difference. Good luck!

Hi , at first on Monday they said she could have RSV or asthma

or both. Sent her home with nebulizer and breathing treatments every

4-6 hours. Today I brought her back in cause even after the breathing

treatments she is wheezing. They checked her over and after telling

them that the nebulizer is barely helping if at all they said thats a

pretty sure sign of RSV, very characteristic. They said it lasts 7-10

days and Leah is only on day 6.

I called CT and said I had to cancel and asked if I could speak to

orthoist about when to take the band off for good. Unfortunately I

had to leave to go to Leahs appt and by the time I got home they were

closed. So I will give them a call tomorrow ask for the signs of the

band being too small and reschedule exit casting.

My poor baby!

Thanks everyone! I called CT today and canceled the appt.

Unfortunately I was unable to speak to the orthoist today about when

to take the band off for good, nor did I reschedule yet. I will do

that tomorrow.

For now, I am doing everything I can to make Leah somewhat comfy

during her first REAL illness and I hope she feels better soon. My

poor little munchkin.
