uggghhhhh!!!
My new baby was sick last week, had a cough,so i took her to her pediatrician and she tells me shes fine unless she starts to have a temp. I was only home from the doc for 2 hours and of course she starts running a temp. Her doc says take her to the ER right away, we get there and they tell us the state law is any baby under three months has to be admitted and a full panel of test has to be done. This was hell!! She had to have a spinal tap, blood work and an i.v. They ended up sticking her 17 times to get the damn i.v in and the last time it blew her vein so they still had to give her 7 shots of antibiotics. This wasall done for percaution. I understand why they do this kind of thing, but, its cold and flu season........WHY??? What is the odds of it being something like that? I'm just aggrevated over this, 4 days in the hospital will do that to ya!
