Last Friday I took Pixie and Beanie to the Dr for a check up that turned into finding out they both have RSV. I was so upset when I found out that they had this. Pixie being a preemie is at very high risk for this. I also found out that Pixie was anemic. After about an hour at the Dr. we left with a nebulizer for Pixie and a few prescriptions for Pixie. She told us to give Beanie Benadryl to help dry him out. After a major issue with the pharmacy and not being able to get what we needed for Pixie we waited for the Dr. to call them back. Friday night was the worst night I have ever had with Pixie. We were up until after 3 in the morning. When we finally woke up Saturday Pixie was having issues breathing and was very "grey". I called the Dr. and waited for a call back. After speaking to the nurse we became very concerned and decided to just go to the ER. My awesome neighbor brought us to the ER and sat with us until we found out that Pixie was going to be admitted. She then helped us get up to our room. Words can not describe how thankful for her I am. She helped make a very scary stressful situation much easier to handle. So thank you so much Nani Kay. We love you. We had to let them give Pixie a blood transfusion which I am super upset about but it worked!! Now we are just waiting for Pixie to get off the O2 and eat better. I can't believe how bad this RSV virus really is. There are 22 patients on this floor and all have RSV or the flu.
My Dh is my rock he has been so supportive of me needing to be here with Pixie. I can't and won't leave her here. We are a package deal!! That goes for any of my babies being in the hospital. He has been bringing me dinner every night and clothes and sitting here while I shower. I can't imagine my life without him. He takes care of us! I am so proud of him he is handling things really well.
Tonight we skyped with Peanut and Beanie. They really enjoyed seeing that Pixie is doing okay and will be better in time. I love them so much!
I have to say that I am sooooooo mad at the insurance company. They denied the Synergis shot for Pixie. This shot costs 1,500 per shot and has to be given during RSV season. Well they didn't want to pay for that and now were are in the hospital going on day 5. In the end it will end up costing them more. Also thank you to a special Aunt that has been taking care of the boys while we have been in the hospital. We really appreciate everything that you have done for us. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for our family.
You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. It breaks my heart to know what she (and you all) are going through because we've been down that road so many times ourselves. It's so hard to be away from the rest of the family for that long but, like you said, it's a package deal - and you'd do the same for any child. I SO want to come up and visit you or to help out with the kids at home, but I cannot risk bringing anything home at all to our house, or we'll wind up being neighbors in the hospital. But if there is anything at all I can be doing, PLEASE let me know. Love you guys!
