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'm going to call, but he is already way better this morning, just since i posted this. The last dose of ibuprofen kicked in. He is talking and laughing so we will get some real food in him and more liquid, hopefully that will help him kick this.
The NP when we called this morning said to just keep doing what we were doing, so we stayed home. I began to regret that decision when he threw up again around lunchtime, and hadn't wet a diaper since overnight. So we called again, and they said if he vomited again to bring him in.
Then around 3, it was like a switched flipped, and he was more himself than he has been in days. He is still tired and weak, but has kept down quite a bit, and is talking and laughing. I think he will be much better in the morning, knock on wood.
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!

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