Re: just wanted to let everyone know

[Guest guest]

had a bad case of croup 2 or 3 years ago. I thought only babies and

toddlers got croup. I'm sorry to hear about the paramedic not doing all he

could. I think the paramedics here have to get doctors orders before giving

medications. At least Tim did many moons ago when he was a paramedic.

Guess it's that time of year to deal with croup and RSV. Hope all the kids

here are not effected this year.

Angel,

My heart really goes out to you. We experienced the same thing in April with

Gavin (2 1/2), and I must say, that was the scariest experience. Now

everytime he coughs, I get paranoid, thinking the same thing is going to

happen!! But it seems you handled it VERY well. I am soo glad to hear that he

is doing well and home from the hospital. Give him a big Hug!!!

Traci

P.S. - I would follow up on the paramedic and see what happens to him for

this incident. Since it's happened before......it just may happen again too.

Angel,

Croup is the scariest!!! My son 7 non ds, has gotten it like 2-3 times

a year since he's been little. He usually wants to go to the hosptial and if

i try the hot water in the shower (steam the bathroom), he gets more upset.

he has been hospitalized 2x because of it. At least now that he's 7, we hope

he will finally " grow out of it. " Which is the good news about croup and

thats its not asthma.

We are really glad that ie is OK. I will be praying for him. What will

happen with the emt gu? Please keep us posted!

had a bad case last week! We spent time at the hospital and made

several trips to the pediatrician. Both were very good about taking

immediate care of him and with a whole waiting room full of people, the

hospital staff took him right back. I was a little worried about what

the people would think, but as they called our name, I heard people say,

It's about time, that baby needs to be seen! That made me feel better

because we had only been sitting there about 3 minutes, so they must have

known he was really needing to go back. Anyway, he is doing much better

and was on several different kinds of meds. Thank goodness for drugs.

There is nothing scarier to me, than seeing your child not be able to get

a good breath!

Glad ie is doing better!!!!

We had a similar croup experience last week at Urgent Care, except we didn't

even wait

3 minutes. After me being very frustrated with the " advice " nurse (she kept

telling me

they didn't do anything for croup, and I kept asking if I had to wait until

the child was blue

before I brought her in.... that kind of dialogue), ANYWAY, I finally

demanded she have

the pediatrician call me back. The Dr. (of course) told us to get right

over to Urgent Care,

and she called down and told Urgent Care we'd be in there in 10 minutes and

be ready.

She was down there waiting for us, and we didn't even sit down. I felt bad

with a whole

waiting room of people, but it was nice that the nurse at the desk shouted

out to the back

(and probably for the benefit of the waiting room) " Baby having trouble

breating, coming

back now! " Amazingly, after a shot and nebulizer treatement, we were out in

2 1/2 hours!

Croup is a strange thing! One minute your child is terrified and having

trouble breathing, and

the next it's time to go. I don't want to make that drive again

though....nothing like trying

to drive and watch the back seat.
