Daughter is in HS Band. Friday night in 1st Qtr she said she felt really bad and had a fever. took her to hospital and they said regular flu.
Sat. she said it hurt to breath so back to hospital who said Pneumonia too - pediatric ICU.
She was in ICU for 3 days and regular room for 3 or 4 days. We will find out this afternoon if she is relased this afternoon or tomorrow.
One person said "Ouch" to the ICU cost. Not to worry, I have excellent insurance. My out-of-pocket cost for hospital stays is $11.00 per day. <---NOT a Typo....... $11.00 per day. Thanks for the thoughts.

Wow, can you put my dad on your plan? He's self employed, so he has to pay out of pocket. I think his x-ray with CT ran him $600 at the hospital and that was after we went to a satellite center that wanted to charge him $1,200 (that's right... double the cost).
Hence the reason I have never gotten my knee fixed.
I hope your daughter gets better soon, Kid. As I'm sure you know, hospital food s*cks (unless you like jell-o). And contrary to what Scrubs would have us believe, hospitals are not a place of frivolity and hilarious antics. I'm still perturbed about that.
