We took her to the ER tonight. Nervous first timers. RSV sucks. She pants like a dog. It's awful.
Her fever was over 103 when they checked it there. Poor baby. Her ear infection isn't clearing up, so the ER doc thinks that's why her fever is so high. And the higher the fever, the higher her heart rate and breathing. Her oxygen stats were pretty good though so no oxygen or anything. All in all, she's doing what any baby with RSV and an ear infection would do so no cause for undue worry. They told us we could seriously up the dose of ibuprofen too so that should help get her fever down.
We're still glad we went. Cory said it best: Sometimes peace of mind is worth the cost of a trip to the ER.

I want her to feel better so much it hurts. This sucks. Sounds like taking her to the E.R. was exactly what you all needed.
He's right, peace of mind is well worth the money. So sorry she's so sick. Poor little girl.
The E.R.is always scary. But the peace of mind is definitely worth it.
Glad to hear you can up the dosage. Are you alternating acetmetaphin (sp?) and ibuprofen?
I hope she feels better soon.
My heart breaks for her and you. Hope you guys get some relief soon. F'ng sucks.
