Babe

[averygoodun42]

Babe is still sick, and I'm starting to get worried. He hasn't eaten much of anything for the past week, subsisting almost solely on water and apple juice. His fever is low-grade, but persistent, and I've had to give him ibuprofen at least once a day for the pain.

The scariest thing, though, is his lethargy. I can probably count the minutes he's been up and about this week on one hand.

At least he has been drinking plenty of water. However, if he's still off on Monday, he's going to the doctor.

:-(

Oh dear. :-/

I hate those low-grade persistent fevers. It's what I usually have. Very annoying, as there isn't much you can actually do, medicine-wise... fever too low to try and "break" it. But very, very exhausting, when it goes on for days and days, even more so when one is still so very young.

Seeing a doctor seems like a good idea at this point. I do hope he'll be feeling better very soon!

Yeah. He rarely ever gets any kind of fever, so this is worrisome, especially as it just keeps hanging on rather than doing its job properly and going away. And, yes, it's exhausting. :-(

Assuming he's not back to his normal self, the doctor shall be called. Thanks!

You know, if it's really been a week, see if there's a clinic around open today. We have them run by the hospital system so it's no different than a dr's appointment.

His fever started last Sunday evening, though he'd been cranky and feeling poorly all of Sunday. We just thought he was tired from all the playing on Saturday, but I guess not.

He was a bit better today, though still warmer than usual, so I'm hoping he's getting over whatever it is and will be fine by Monday, but if he's not up to going to school, to the doctor we will go!

What kind of pain? Just from the fever or something else? I agree about the doctor on Monday since he doesn't seem to be able to break it himself. Best to have him checked out. *nods*
I hope he feels better soon.

*hugs*

Stomach pain. Well, tummy pain. He points to his belly button. I poked around a bit and I don't think this is a case of appendicitis. Thank goodness. He's also thrown up a few time this week, last time being last night.

There's porbably some GI think going around that he/we've caught, but yeah, the doctor is looking pretty good. He was better today, though. Not good, but better.

*hugs back* Thanks!

Well keep us posted. I hope the poor thing starts feeling better soon. It's the worst when little ones are sick!

That's what I'm thinking. If he's not up for going to school on Monday, he's going to the doctor.

Poor boy. He's so miserable. D-:

Thanks!
