Just Got Home From ER

Jozie started running a fever last night and was coughing and wheezing today so we made a trip to the ER. They got us right in and started treatments, did X-rays and started oral steroids. We stayed for a few hours,5, so they could monitor her. They sent her home with a steroid script and wanted us to continue her other asthma med's along with Tylenol and Motrin as needed. So please pray for a quick recovery for her. It is sad seeing her sick and not her spunky self.
They tried to get her to take unflavored children's Tylenol in the hospital. She was crying and didn't want it. I asked the nurse for flavored and she said all the kids get unflavored and they just fight with them to take it. I told her Jozie wasn't like all the other kids she was a one in a million and a world changer and I would call my hubby to bring her flavored so she wouldn't throw up the oral steroid that she just took fine, it was flavored. She said they would try again after X-rays. She took it better after X-rays but next time I will remember to bring our flavored Motrin and Tylenol. :) The nurse was nice and good with her, so was the respiratory therapist and doctor. She was just doing her job but it was a children's er so they need to get that stuff flavored.:)
