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!

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

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

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.

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.

rondokye · January 2015

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!

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

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

mrshudson618 · January 2015

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!
