my daughter just got out of the hospital

That is terrible, the poor thing. Who read the x-ray...Stevie Wonder (sorry that was a bad joke). I would be all over those people like a cheap suit. I think she will be under the weather for a few days, but then kids often bounce back so fast it is amazing. Now that she is home with Mom in her own bed, she will probably be back and bouncing by the end of the week. Lots of fluids, make sure you finish her meds, keep her warm and happy. Lot of hugs and kisses too.

Oh. Wow. I am sorry to hear that. I can't believe the hospital did not see that she had a colapsed lung. That is just rediculous of them. I am very glad to hear that she is doing okay now. Blessed be.

oh how sad. its so hard when our kids are sick. its great to hear that she is doing better. my middle son was very sick when he was smaller and its so hard on them and us. i always felt so helpless. poor little thing she had it bad. it great shes doing better now. good luck

awwww sorry to hear about your daughter poppo, i hope she gets better soon! nasty cold flu bugs are going around as my son has a slight case of bronchitis and has been off school since last friday.

I am glad your daughter is now on the mend.As a parent I know how stressful it is when children are sick.You feel so useless.I can relate to how you feel,my son when younger was in hospital and he had a red arm band on telling the medication he was allergic to and Guess What? they gave him that medication.I know some people will say doctors and nurses are only normal and can make mistakes but this is peoples lives and you can't afford to make mistakes.If I were you I would lodge a formal complaint.

Oh, your poor baby, I hope she is doing better, and how are you doing? I know it's so hard on us mom's when our kids are sick, especially when they are that sick. I think it's crazy that they didn't see she had a collapsed lung, I might go to a different hospital next time. (I hope there isn't a next time.)

I was sorry to here about your daughter. It is a shame that they did not see the lung problem before they sent the child home. Maybe someone needs to have a talk with the administration of the hospital. I think I would. I hope she is doing better now. I saw the post about her wanting to go back to school now so I guess she is starting to recover. The problem with what happened to you is that this actually happens with hospitals more than not. After my daughter was born I told the doctors I was not feeling well. They told me I had a temperature of 100.0 and that was not a temperature. Well they sent me home with a slight temperature and in less than twenty four hours I was back in the hospital with a fever of 104. Sometimes I wonder what good are hospitals to begin with. Again I can not tell you how much I hope your little girl feels better. Keep doing what you are doing because from what I have read here you are a great mom.

My kids both had pneumonia twice, although neither was ever hospitalized or had the complications your daughter had! For several years after that they always got the pneumonia vaccination along with the flu shot. Glad she's home where she can get some real rest. You certainly can't sleep in a hospital!

I am glad that your daughter is home now and I hope that she has a full recovery soon. It is scary to think that her oxygen levels were low and they missed a collapsed lung. I really wonder about our medical care at times. I am sure that she will be fine but it will take some time for her to regain her strength.

I am so sorry to hear that - Glad to hear she is now home and hopefully she will only improve from now :) I cannot believe that they missed her collapsed lung!! Hope she gets better real soon :)
