Ike did not get his 1st February off to a good start. I was up all night with him doing steam showers and counting his respitory rate and calling my RN-on-call (aka - Mom). Isaac's respiratory rate was over 60 most of the night and tylenol didn't do much for his fever. When I called the Pedi in the AM, the nurse said I should have taken him to the ER. Now I know - high respiratory rate for over an hour = ER at night or Pedi during the day. He didn't need to go in though in the AM. He was doing much better.
Aw, such a sad baby! (And Mom's are the BEST, although, your is an ACTUAL RN, right? Mine is just a good stand in) :)
