To take DS to this appointment?

[sailorcherries]

I woke up at 4am yesterday morning sick, and continued to be sick until about 9am. I've not thrown up since but still feel a bit achy.

DS1 is 7 and at half 8 he threw up all over the carpet and then fell asleep. He has been sick once more, just there at 1am, but only a very slight amount.

He isn't going to school tomorrow, that's a given. However we do have an appointment for his pre-op consultation for minor surgery. We've been waiting since October for this appointment to come through (his actual date is 2 weeks away), and if we cancel this pre-op we need to go to the bottom of the list again or wait on a cancellation.
Since we found out he's been asking almost weekly about it and, at times, getting himself in to a right panic about the whole thing to the point of lashing out and getting visibly upset.

Wibu to take him out very briefly, provided he hasn't been sick in a few hours, to have this check done in order to still go through with the surgery in 2 weeks?

Normally when he's sick it's a blanket ban on school, clubs etc but I feel stuck in this instance because we've been waiting so long for these appointments and he's been a nervous wreck about the whole thing. I don't want to delay it and cause any more stress for him but, equally, he has been sick.

Yes, which is why I said I gave them all the details. Now we're here he has completely perked up and doesn't seem as nervous/has dropped all the complaints and questioning and refusing to go. I do believe it is nerves (a whole thread about possible undiagnosed asd and being unable to control or discuss emotions; coupled with running away when he was told about the surgery and being sick on that day as well after hearing about it).

If they're happy with him being here then they're happy. If he were still being sick he wouldn't be here.

Glad it’s worked out. Hope all goes well on the big day.

Probably best not to have even posted to be honest!

The deed is done now, but I would have cancelled. Ds had to have dental surgery a few years ago, he has additional needs and I understand the frustration, but it is just not worth the risk.

Possibly not no, although after his checks they agreed there was no other sign of illness and, given that it's been 9 hours since the last bout, it was more than likely anxiety related.

He used to do the same at bed time when he had to go to sleep alone (throw up due to nerves).
