My niece took her 4 y.o. daughter to ER, had to wait 16 hours because of overload
Their story made national news:
Her 4-year-old was struggling to breathe. They had to wait 16 hours in the ER for care
"It was around 7 at night, and I noticed she was really struggling to breath and coughing so much she couldn't catch her breath," Templin shared. The daughter of a nurse [my sister has been an RN for 33 years], Templin knew how to monitor respirations and laid her hand on her daughter's chest to count her breaths per minute.
"She was at about 50 — our pediatrician likes it to be 40 or under," she added.

What Templin had assumed was a case of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was actually an infection with three viruses: COVID-19, parainfluenza and what Templin called a "regular cold virus."

After five days of steroids, Templin said her daughter was "back to normal." After 10 days, the mom felt confident allowing her daughter to enjoy Halloween night and go trick-or-treating.

It seemed as though she had everything else BUT the RSV virus!
Glad the 4 year old is ok.
