I took my little boy the the ER this weekend for vomiting. He choked and went unresponsive for about 5 seconds. We got there and they couldn't find anything wrong with him besides the fact he's lost 3 pounds in two weeks!! And they released him without even batting an eye at the fact that my little baby lost 25 percent of his body weight in TWO WEEKS!
I'm glad you're taking him to the Ped. ERs are not a good place for a diagnosis, especially for children. They're there to treat acute issues, and the doctors and nurses are too busy to spend the time to make a diagnosis. He needs to see a pediatrician and possibly get a referral for a specialist (could be a GI issue or allergies or any number of things).
Omg yay!!! That is great news I hope everything goes well for your Prince 😃 @christimary0,
@nessairieray, I'm a worried mother too haha. My anxiety is through the roof, nothing bad can ever happen to him. He goes in to see his pediatrician in about an hour now.
I think you should take him to the emergency room every minute your waiting and he could get worst! I'm a worry mother I worry about everything lol I took my kid to the ER so many times when I didn't have any insurance they never turned her down because they can't do that! I hope you find answers @christimary0,
@nessairieray, seriously! It's a military hospital though and so our insurance won't pay for us to see any civilian doctors 🙄 looking for a loophole
@christimary0, I'm glad! Hoping you get some good information and options
Omg! What in the world is wrong with those doctors!? You should take him to another hospital
@dreamermom, he's going in to see his pediatrician in 2 hours. Hopefully we get some answers.
Wth?!? I would seriously be getting a second and third opinion if needed! My niece took her son to one hospital they told her he was fine.. she took him to another hospital that night and he ended up being admitted for almost 2 weeks turned out his labored breathing was RSV! At 5 weeks old, the first hospital just sent him home, just had a 'little cold' 😳🙄 follow your gut momma knows better!
What did they find at Ped?
