Yep, we are back at Main Campus. Avery started coughing last night. We didn't think anything of it because she coughs about 50% of the time. This afternoon she started having trouble breathing. It seemed like she was trying very hard to breathe and her belly didn't look right when breathing. We took her to Fairview ER. What's nice about Fairview is that if you are a pediatric patient, you don't really have to wait. Once we were registered we waited a total of two minutes in the waiting room. When she was first triaged, her pulse ox was very low (70 something) and they thought there was something wrong with their machine because she didn't look a dusky color, etc. They ended up trying again and it went up to around 85. Still not good. They decided to do albuterol, some blood work, a chest xray(thank God it wasn't like the traumatizing one she had a few months back) and put her on oxygen.
They also decided to call the critical Care Transport team. Yuck, Tim and I both knew what that meant... Getting transferred to main campus to spend the night.
I rode with Avery in the ambulance to main campus. She still had labored breathing when she got here. They did another albuterol treatment and she seems a bit better.
They think its just a virus. They don't want to test her for what type because they said they would pretty much treat her the same no matter what. Continue monitoring, giving oxygen and albuterol as needed.
I am off to bed. It's been a long day. I will try to update tomorrow.

This was right after my Tylenol. I smiled at Mommy.
