Holy Virus!!!

I just heard from the PP ... based on my description and the peds assessment, they think it's a virus that they're seeing a lot of. Here's the skinny on the virus --

• Fever of up to 105 lasting 5-7 days.
• Cough is so acute, they're recommending DuoNeb every 4 hours
• They are hospitalizing kids with this

If I can be selfis and even sacreligous for a second here: 5-7 days?? God, did you plan this because I was starting a new job? Is this a sign that I shouldn't have left the old one? I mean, my new boss is a mom, too...but a whole WEEK???

Secondly, how scary and POOR OZ! I've never heard my PP, as aggressive as she is, prescribe DuoNeb only every four hours. She usually has us alternate between DuoNeb and albuterol.

I just pray that 1) Oz gets well quickly and without a trip to the ER and 2) that the others don't get this.

Think of me at 4:00 AM while your sleeping and I'm nebbing away. I hope they have Law & Order reruns on then.
