Ended up in the ER - Poor sicky baby girl!
punkeemunkee'smom wrote: Tay developed a cough this week-started with yucky nose and congestion-but we had a front blow through and that always seems to kick stuff up (dust,mold,pollen) So I thought she may shake it and I started the allergy med which worked for 2-3 days...Yesterday she was pretty draggy still and then I started coughing so I figured NOT allergies Lastnight her cough got worse and by today we are both hacking away I was getting very worried about her by about 3 today because this cough is horrid Anyway we went to the ER and she has Acute Bronchitus and he said her ears and throat look bad I feel terrible for letting it go but the other medicine really seemed to be knocking it out. The doctor said this stuff develops so quick so it may have started as something and developed into this litterally overnight Poor baby-she is watching Nutcracker (Santa came while we were at the hospital to drop off an early get better Christmas gift I had to say something to get the culture stick in her mouth ) P&PTs Please- Hopefully these antibiotics will kill these germys QUICK!
On a side note they gave her a codine cough syurp in the hospital (another reason we went in she said her chest hurts) and she is going OFF THE WALL crazy! I have never seen her so hyper!!! We will NOT be using that script!!!
cameragirl21 replied: sorry to hear that, Abbie, hope Taylor feels better soon. as for the codeine, it's supposed to knock you out...seems to be having the opposite effect on her.....
punkeemunkee'smom replied: Thank you Jennifer. She has never had a reaction like this but, has also never had anything this strong- I called the ER and they said that some kids react differently and that hyperactivity is 'normal' in some children. I know the thought process is to help the pain from the cough but this is crazy-poor baby-It seems like she wants to sleep but can't. I have all the lights off now and I am off to go 'snuggle buggle' That may do the trick
cameragirl21 replied: oh, i didn't mean her reaction is abnormal, Abbie, i just mean that the falling asleep before you can blink is what is most common. poor Taylor, she's probably wanting to sleep and can't. hopefully the meds will kick in and she'll start to feel better by morning.

jcc64 replied: I'm so sorry to hear you guys have "the cough". It's been going around here too. It was waking me up 4-5 times a night with uncontrollable fits. I'm glad you got some meds for it- I hope she heals quickly. Kwym about codeine- it wacks them out!
1lilpeanut2love replied: I am SO sorry. I hope she feels much better soon! I hope the meds help the germs go away!
CantWait replied: Glad you took her in Hope she's feeling better soon.
Codeine and caffene always have the opposite effect on me as well.
Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Hope she gets better soon!
Our Lil' Family replied: Oh no! Poor Tay! Don't feel bad though, you thought you could get rid of it on your own, I do that all the time! I'm glad you got some meds though before the holiday. Hopefully you will both be back up and going by Thursday. Until then, enjoy those snuggles!!!!
Oh and, codeine does the same thing to me...I can't take it!
TANNER'S MOM replied: I hope you both got some rest.. you didn't sound too good yourself. I know she was going a little crazy.. when I talked to you.. and I thought wow she isn't going to bed anytime soon.
I hope you both are feeling better today and get some rest. Come up and I will take care of you .. and we will have some good Turkey Thursdays!
punkeemunkee'smom replied: Thank you for all the well wishes! The whole codiene thing really bothered me lastnight-I have never seen a child that HYPER! It was kinda scary They have her on a pretty high doseage of antibiotic and both times she has taken it now she feels sick to her tummy I feel so bad for her! The good thing is this other cough med seems to be knocking out the cough at least and without being too hyper.
A&A'smommy replied: awwww poor baby girl!!! I hope she is feeling MUCH better today!!!
about the cough meds!!
holley79 replied: Sorry Abbie. I hope Tay gets to feeling better very soon. I bet she is off the walls. Many hugs to you both.
