For the past two days, we spent more than 16 hours in Children hospital ER. It is because little Isaac was really sick. Isaac got a cold from Flora or grandma. He was coughing for couple days and none of the cough medicine worked on him. And he became very sick on Friday morning. He vomited eight times and coughing non stop. Flora and I decided to bring him to ER.
Because of his history with ER, Isaac was admitted to the ER room right away. They started to give him steroid and Ventolin for intake. His condition was getting better after 6 hours stay in hospital. So he was discharged back home. Once we arrived home that night, he was coughing again; however,we thought that his condition might improve in the next morning. We tried to hold him up and let him sleep.
During my company picnic on Saturday morning, we noticed that his coughing was getting more frequent and he had a hard time to breath. Without any choice, we had to bring him back to ER one more time. Once we arrived the ER, the nurse gave him the steroid (which relaxes his airways) and Ventolin (which relaxes the muscles around the airway) immediately. After the first treatment (2 hours later), his condition was not improved much, they decided to give him another dosage.
However, the second one also did not improve his condition. Then the doctor had to give him the third one and see whether it would improve the oxygen level in his blood stream. If not, he had to stay until his airway condition was better.
After spending more than 9 hours in ER, we could finally go home @ 11:30 pm. Four of us were so tired. Eunice and Isaac missed their home so much.
Thanks God that Isaac's condition has been improved a lot which allowed us to spend some times at PNE this afternoon. However, he is going to miss 2 of his swimming lessons next week... Poor him! He does not like it at all.
