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.

OP posted on a product thread on 16th - so am hoping no news is good news as thegreylady said - and she's just trundling on and hopefully busy with a more active and improving DS :)

thegreylady · 22/01/2013 18:54

thank you for that OcotoAlert I will stop mithering now.It just seemed so awful at the time-3 little chicken pox spots and a comatose child :(

Pinot · 22/01/2013 19:02

thegreylady · 22/01/2013 19:11

Pinot of course it wasn't look at op's profile.

MOSagain · 22/01/2013 19:14

No, very much a real thread. The lovely woolly huggers have sent her DS a lovely blanket in hospital. They are not easily fooled! Hope he is doing ok clutching have been thinking of him a lot as DD and DS have just recovered from CP x

Pinot · 22/01/2013 19:20

MOS good point! :)

OcotoAlert · 22/01/2013 19:29

Not at all greylady - I feel like the mithering one for searching clutching's posts to see if she was around Blush
Any which way, clutching you're in our thoughts Thanks

They are very wise women. When they are not on the gin Wink

Birnamwood · 22/01/2013 22:05

Definitely NOT a bridge dwellers thread :)

GreenEggsAndNichts · 22/01/2013 23:08

Woolly huggers! I love that name, and that's a lovely gesture.

I'm still checking back with this thread from time to time. I hope no news is good news.

MOSagain · 23/01/2013 07:48

Yes greeneggs it is a lovely name for a lovely group of ladies. I think their closest friends refer to them as the 'loose hookers' Grin

I believe Pistey and Knotty are in touch with the OP, will PM them and see if they can give an update but like you say, hopefully no news is good news.
