I think we are headed for ER... - Parent-2-Parent & Reflux in Children

**merrifay** · May 7th, 2006, 11:45 AM

Caeley started vomiting yesterday, I posted about it in tube feeding. But the vomiting is not stopping, she is still vomiting today, and now running a low grade fever. I called the pulmo and he told me to I could bring her in or watch her for a few more hours, so I opted to wait a little longer to see if it would get better, but so far it is not.
He told me if we bring her in they will check electrolytes, stop feeds and give her IV fluids overnight. So if I take her in we will probably have to stay overnight. At this point I'm getting worried enough that I think she needs to be looked at. Then again, she has never gotten a bad gastric virus, that could be all this is.
But if there is not any improvement by this afternoon, I'm going to take her in.

Im sorry she is still vomiting, this sucks, i hope she starts getting better and you don't have to take her in, please let us know how she does.

**nicholasmom** · May 7th, 2006, 11:56 AM

I hope she is feeling better soon and you don't have to take her in. Hugs.

**AggieMom** · May 7th, 2006, 12:07 PM

Ugh! I hate those bugs! Hope she is better soon and you can avoid taking her in...

**~ Jennifer ~** · May 7th, 2006, 12:07 PM

I hope Miss Caeley is feeling better soon. Please keep us posted.

Jenna M · May 7th, 2006, 02:26 PM

MAry, please keep us posted. THinking good thoughts for Caeley.

**ChillyJJ** · May 7th, 2006, 02:27 PM

I hope she's feeling much better and the vomitting has stopped so you can avoid going in. I had a nasty bug a couple of weeks ago and even tho I only threw up once, I had other problems. Connor's had that tummy bug too and he threw up for quite a while. Please let us know what happens Mary... sending loads of {{{HUGS}}} to you guys.

**JacksonsMom** · May 7th, 2006, 04:07 PM

I hope she is feeling better soon and you can avoid the ER.

**merrifay** · May 7th, 2006, 06:54 PM

We are back from ER, her electrolytes were fine, her white count is slightly elevated, but not too bad. They x-rayed her chest and stomach, everything looks fine. She is still gagging and acting like she feels terrible, but we are hoping it is a gastric bug, apparently it is making the rounds right now. Of course she waited until after we got home to start having a yellow runny nose, but we are supposed to call the pulmo's office tomorrow and let him know how she is doing, so I will mention it then. The pulmo called down to ER ahead of us, so we were able to bypass all the residents and see the attending, who is very good, so I did feel better about taking her home.
As we were getting in the car to leave the hospital, Buddy said his stomach hurt, and he is now taking a nap, which is unheard of for him, so I may have another sick one on my hands soon.

Mary
I hope that both Caeley and Buddy are feeling better soon, and that this gi "bug" passes quickly, and you can avoid the hospital again..
Hugs

patricksmom · May 7th, 2006, 08:16 PM

I hope that Caeley is feeling better soon and you can stay out of the hospital and I hope Buddy does not get it! Hugs!

**HeatherM** · May 7th, 2006, 08:38 PM

I hope everyone is feeling better soon. There are several bugs going around this area too, and they aren't any fun.
I'm so glad everything looked clear on the xrays. Get some sleep tonight if you can. {{HUGS}}

**srmina** · May 7th, 2006, 09:40 PM

baileysmommy · May 7th, 2006, 10:06 PM

I am so sorry!!! I hope she gets better, and it is just a bad tummy virus!! Good luck sweetie!

juliefrog6 · May 7th, 2006, 10:27 PM

I really hate stomach bugs. I'm glad she didn't have to stay.

**iamblessed** · May 7th, 2006, 10:58 PM

Oh, I am so glad she checked out "OK" and I hope it was "just" a stomach bug, though we know how rought those can be even on the well kids! I hope she improves quickly. And, poor Buddy. maybe he just needed a rest. Sending thoughts and hugs your way.
