My 2 year old was sent to the emergency room today for being unresponsive during a check up. she was breathing and her heart was beating. she was asleep but even after the nurses moved her all around and checked everything she didn't even open her eyes. her fever was over 103, she had a chest x ray, catheter, iv and tons of tests done. we found she was extremely dehydrated, she has a bad virus and pneumonia. this is nothing to mess with mommas, please if your child is sick for over 24 hours vomiting and diarrhea get them seen. I tried all I could to keep her hydrated bht it wasn't enough. I am happy to say we're home now though!
We're home with some nausea medications, this has to run its course and breathing treatments for the pneumonia. she's doing so much better now though. the doctors in the ER told me that a child should be seen if they're going over 24 hours without symptoms letting up and same if you're pregnant. I'm just thankful I went with my gut feeling. she had been sick since monday!
