50. Its really bad with little kids

Mon Jan 5, 2026, 01:57 PM

Jan 5

parents are waiting too late and pneumonia develops and then sepsis. They need to get treatment fast and get kids shots. A relative called an one of her nieces kids 4yrs old is in bad shape. Was transferred from Orange County NY to Brooklyn Childrens because most peds ICUs are full. If your kid is sick go early its better to seek treatment at the first sign. They had to vent and then go in and draw out a ton of fluids. The Dr was amazed he kept breathing.
