DS still asleep, what to do?

[ClutchingPearls]

DS is 15 months, been generally a bit grumpy for a week. Last night he was especially grumpy so calpol'ed him at put him to bed, he had a slight temperature. He hasnt woken since.

Waiting for an "urgent" call from GP nurse which will be this afternoon or possibly this evening.

Nothing specific, slight temp, was occasionally pulling at ears, decreased appetite. But he's completely un rousable, changed nappy with DD1 and 2 in the room jumping about and he just slept. He obviously is responsive because I've got a few oz of water into him and nurophen in him. But I cant wake him any more than that. So he's been asleep for 17 hours looks poorly but not collapsed. Occasional small cry but by the time I've got to his door he's asleep again.

So MNers should I call the GPs again, NHS direct or am I just wittling about nothing and let him sleep it off. DD2 has complex medical needs and I'm always on the ball with her getting her seen as appropriate. But a normal "abit unwell and sleeping child" has completely thrown me.

Chicken Pox when they are 'inverted' are very serious. I don't want to bang on about it when this little boy is in hospital but you need to be extra careful if your DC have been immunised against CP

Glad you are at the hospital and DS is doing ok.
Sending very un-MN {{hugs}}

Thinking of you and your little fella Clutching. So glad he's got the care he needs. How flippin frightening for you, take care. x

Hope all OK

Morning clutching hoping miniclutching improves today, how are you doing? Remember to look after yourself also.

Hope things are improving op. thinking of you.

Whereabouts are you? Maybe there are some lovely mners around that could help? Even if its just bringing you some homemade food

I'm another one who has been watching this thread and am pleased to hear mini clutching is getting such good care. I never knew CP could do this. I hope he improves further today.

I also want to reiterate that clutching should in no way feel like a plank! I would have been exactly the same if the GP surgery had told me to wait, just so glad you started the thread!

Thinking of you and praying for a quick recovery.

Morning Clutching, have been thinking of your DS. I hope he is improving.

So glad he is stable and in good hands, hope you got some sleep and that your dd's are ok too.

Xx

Morning clutching, I'm so glad DS is ok and hope you have had a good sleep and some quality time with DDs.

thank you so much for the update
hope he is better this morning
This is why I love mumsnet

Just seen thisthread after it was mentioned elsewhere. I hope your son is recovered soon.

Have been following miniclutchings progress.

Sending healing thought his way.

Take care of yourself too, eat,drink and rest when you can

So glad he is doing better. Take care

Hi, hope your little boy is recovering x ((hugs))

Glad too hear your DS is doing okay.

Hope you have managed to get some rest overnight and that your DS is recovering.

Hope D's had a good night and you all got some rest, thinking of you allxx

hope your little one is getting better and better. am keeping fingers crossed he's home soon x

All best wishes again and hoping little clutching is showing positive signs of improvement today. Take care of yourself too, try to eat and drink something and use any and all favours you can! I'm sure people around will be more than willing to help when they know the little one is in hospital.

Oh clutching so glad to hear he is stable and being looked after. Poor little man - and poor you! Such a scary thing to happen. I had no idea chicken pox could be so serious.
Hope you're getting enough rest and some time to look after yourself.
Thinking of you xx

Get well soon, little one xx

Hope all is well OP. Thinking of you. X
