WWJ13D?

C is still really sick this morning. He isn't vomiting with the meds, but he still has a fever(alternating ibuprofen and Tylenol every 3 hrs).

He is just so listless and just wants to lay there, and keeps falling back asleep.

I assume part is weakness from still not having any real food. He is keeping liquids down, so I was gonna offer him some jello and saltines, but he hasn't been awake enough for that yet.

The ER said fever is normal, tests for flu were neg, and to just monitor and alternate meds.

Question is: would you keep the pedi appt we have in a couple hours? We were gonna cancel since we ended up at the ER, but I really don't like how sick he still seems to be. I would definitely take him, but its flipping 1 degree!!
Worth bundling him up, or wait and see how he does today?

  • I would cancel and monitor at home for high fever, dehydration, etc - all the things you are doing. Hope he feels better soon!

  • Like @collers4‌ said, I would call. My second opinion would be to go to the appointment. I hope he's feeling better soon!
  • Another vote to call them and keep the appointment. 
  • I'd definitely keep the appointment. I hope he's feeling better soon. Poor little fella :(
  • Call and ask the ped. Good luck! Hope he's feeling better soon

  • Glad to hear he is better. I would keep the appointment and see a regular pedi to see if they have additional insight.

  • Hope he feels better asap! Poor kiddo. I agree with taking him to a pedi.
  • I agree with everyone else - call the office and keep the appointment if they want to see him. Glad to hear that he woke up feeling a little better!
  • I am on team keep the appt.  I really hope he feels better soon. :(
  • I'd keep the appointment. You can try offering chicken noodle soup. It's a good combo of food/liquid. Poor bud. Hope he continues to feel better!
  • Glad he's feeling better!

    I would personally keep it and bundle him up. I have had several crappy opinions from ER docs so I hesitate to trust them.

    I agree and would do the same. I hope he feels better!

  • The listlessness would concern me & I'd keep the appt.

  • Just watch those diapers. We've had a lot of issues with dehydration with Addie. You can also pinch the skin on the back of the hand. If it stays standing up - bad news. Glad he's feeling better!
