To take Dd to Hospital

[Wallywobbles]

So Dd12 had a sore tummy yesterday. It's a band across her stomach from under her tummy button to the top of her thighs.

Last night she did 5 poos and vomited multiple times in the night.

This evening the pain is worse. 9.5/10. Pain killers are making no difference. Spasfon no difference either. She has a temp of 38.7. No vomit and no poo. She feels like she needs to poo. She hasn't eaten all day.

I've rung the French equivalent of 101. They said wait to see Dr. appointment at 11.45 tomorrow.

Tonight is the big student night so hospitals will be full later.

Do I go or not?

The french health system is good. She will be looked after.

Hope your little one is also given some pain relief. Pain is not good. It's usually the first thing doctors treat once your observations are stable. Then they look at the surgical or medical team to review you (takes hours in the NHS).

Nothing apart from ganglions. I just don't get it. We had gastro a couple of weeks ago and she was fine within 48 hours and nothing like this pain. And she smells really wrong.

She had 500g paracetamol at midnight, so over 3 hours. Nothing else and it doesn't touch the pain, possibly knocks the fever a bit.

What are they doing for her now, OP? You must be so worried (and tired).

I'm shattered. Definitely not safe to drive home again.

Are they keeping her in overnight?

Are they keeping her in?

Did they do the scan yet OP?

Well they are keeping her in so that's good. And she now has a perfusion needle thing in her forearm. Brilliant nurse frankly cos it was blooming difficult to get in. She's had a bit of gas and air but she's not a fan. She's finally looking more relaxed after it though.

Thanks everyone for the moral support.

Hope they discover the source of the pain very soon and that all is resolved very quickly. Try to get at least a few zzz's or what the doctors say in the morning will go in one ear and out the other.

So glad they are keeping her in and hope you get some answers quickly

Hope you get to the bottom of it. Try to get some rest.

I hope you get to the bottom of it soon OP

for you and DD

I'd still be worried about appendicitis, with that history, a neutrophilia, and that high a CRP. Ultrasound isn't that good at looking at guts. Has a surgeon reviewed her? Because I'd be dragging one down to see her if this was on my ward. Glad you're not going home!

Wise decision to take her in, I hope she's feeling better soon.

big hugs op.your doing so well.being very brave.glad they are keeping her in.dont give up until its sorted.
do try and sleep yourself yeh.even if its on the cahir next to her.do your hopstial allow a day bed next to her even?
you cant be exhausted.it will make stress and panic feel ten times worse.and you sure have been through it these last hours eh.
best of look.we are all here for you.xx

Good luck, such a relief she has been admitted. Are you on your own with her or do you have support at home - or a friend/relative that can come in and sit with her for a bit so you can get some sleep?

If she smells bad she may be in ketosis. Have they excluded diabetes?

Curious how you'd describe her smell. Also wondering about ketosis. Hope you all pull through today.

I hope they get to the bottom of this soon. You must all be shattered.

I'm a nurse and haven't read any updates but think it sounds like she's septic, possibly with appendicitis. She needs to be on hospital xx

Wow, hope you and dd are doing ok

A bad smell can come from infection also.

I wouldn't think this is diabetes. I couldn't read the blood results as far too tiny writing for me to read. Was there a blood sugar count in there? If she's being kept in overnight, her blood sugar will be something nurses do on admission (where I'm from anyway).
