DS still asleep, what to do?

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.

Oh goodness, what a time of it you are having. I am glad for you that the doctors seem good- very, very best wishes for the little man and for you all; especially over the next few days of reducing sedation. Keep up your food and drink and rest as much as you can too clutching xx

I'm thinking of you and little clutching. Glad to hear he's getting better. I know you'll be the last of your worries but try to take care of yourself and get as much rest as you can right now so you're not too exhausted when your ds wakes up . hugs

VestaCurry · 07/01/2013 00:34

Just seen this thread, hoping your little boy continues to improve. Sounds like the hospital are looking after him really well. Take care of yourself, stay hydrated and keep snacks in bag.

Feelingood · 07/01/2013 01:23

Oh that's all sounding good, I've been thinking about you lots. I said to DH (who thinks MN is the devil) that women hasn't been back about her boy and he had been asking earlier. I'm so pleased, fingers crossed for next bit.

That dds doc sounds like a good one, you do to be told straight so you can prepare sometimes. Sending hope and health x

ChippingInLovesChristmasLights · 07/01/2013 01:56

That's all very positive :) You are in my thoughts x

MmeLindor · 07/01/2013 02:12

Hope he continues to improve, Clutching.

Thinking of you & your ds clutching

heronsfly · 07/01/2013 05:29

Really pleased to read the update this morning,I hope things improve even more today x

motherofvikings · 07/01/2013 07:19

Great news! :)
Glad things are moving in the right direction! Hope you managed to get a little bit of sleep - poorly DC are exhausting normally- never mind what you've been through!

Hope he keeps improving today! :)

DollySisterMadeNoResolutions · 07/01/2013 07:28

It all sounds a bit more positive clutching. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that today brings further improvement and a quick recovery follows. Thinking of you x

Kracken · 07/01/2013 07:34

Oh, shedding tears waiting for my train to work! So glad he's doing better. I can't imagine what you must be feeling but I'm sure you will find the strength to support your little boy when he starts to wake up a bit. Mums always seem to be able to pull it out of the bag, even in the hardest circumstances, it must be a super-power granted at the point of childbirth! Hope today goes well and take care xx

chocolateistheenemy · 07/01/2013 08:01

Be strong Clutching... you will be, you've been through so much already. I think you're amazing.

NorthernLurker · 07/01/2013 08:12

Turquoiseblue · 07/01/2013 08:22

Just reading this now. Thinning if you and your little boy today. Hope today goes ok xx
