We were at Childrens for over 9 hours yesterday for sustained 40C fever and non stop coughing. 9 fucking hours, we were seen at 6. Normally we would have left by 6 hours.
They did a swab as they were concerned about a 2nd covid infection. Nope, Human metopneumovirus, a relatively new discovery and they said it's similar to RSV. Not supposed to see it in June but here we are in a covid fucked up world where no one has immunity and the weather is all kinds of weird. They had to give him quad dose steroids to calm the coughing so they can get an xray in.
They said the wait was 16 hours the day before, so yay me?
