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.

Mother's instinct has kicked in for you, that's enough to know somethings not right. Alternatively, drive to A&E and if your little boy wakes up on route, just make sure they check him out anyway.

hugs to you! so worrying

Thank you for the update. I hope the steroids are working their magic.

Let the girls live off pizza and chocolate and don't give it a second thought!

Thinking of you and praying that your son responds to the medication soon.

:) in my thoughts

Hoping your little boy's swelling starts to go down very soon. Stay strong. That's what mums do best... x

Oh clutching, I've been lurking since the start of this thread, and want to add my and get well soon vibes as well. As does dh who keeps asking after your ds. You sound like you are doing so well given what you are having to deal with, hope you manage to get some sleep.

Sending positive thoughts to you.

Try to rest when you can, although I know it is much easier said than done!
Our ds was in hospital last year for a week so I understand how scary it is. I took him to dr for eye infection as it was swollen and he seemed off colour.

They admitted him straight away as thought he had liver failure. Had a very awful week with him on drip and testing his sight every hour but he is fine now.

Be reassured that he is in best place in the world and all will be done for him.
Take support and help wherever it is offered and eats chocolate.

Oh Clutching! I hope you can get some rest. DD was in hospital just overnight a while ago with a rash and I was so, so tired. You must be shattered.

I hope your DS improves soon.

Sending more healing wishes for DS, chocolate for DDs and s
and a shoulder to sob on for you.

Sending more get well vibes to mini clutching.

I've been watching this thread from the beginning.
Lots of love to you and your dc.
I hope you don't feel pressurised to update, you must be shattered, though we do all want to know whenever you're ready.xx
Just concentrate on your dc at the moment, and try and rest.
