Oh blimey Trace - sounds like a nasty bug. Hope you all get over it quickly. LOs dehydrate so quickly.....scary. She is in the right place.

It's absolutely the worse thing, your lo being poorly. You feel useless and wretched but you guide her through it and then forget about it until next time.

I'm glad she's stopped being sick and hope she's home very soon indeed trace.

FrazzledFairyFay · 11/09/2008 10:36

Big hugs Trace, I really hope that C is home soon. Look after yourself as well. Thinking of you all.

cocolepew · 11/09/2008 10:39

My DD was put on a drip when she was just over a year, it was the best thing for her. You noticed her 'filling out' straight away. All the best.

Phoenix · 11/09/2008 11:11

Just had a text from Trace asking me to let you know that Chloe is still ill and still on a drip

FrazzledFairyFay · 11/09/2008 11:16

please send her all our good wishes, and tell her that the June 07 thread, in particular, are thinking of them.

ShowOfHands · 11/09/2008 11:44

Oh poor trace and poor dd. I spent a lot of time on conception (and sadly mc) threads with trace. She's not had it easy.

JammyQueenOfTheSewers · 11/09/2008 12:24

Trace - sorry to hear about another illness. Hope you and DD both recover soon and it doesn't spread further. Fingers crossed that DD will be home with you soon.

LackaDAISYcal · 11/09/2008 14:49

thinking of you all trace xx
big {{{{{{hugs}}}}} for Chloe.

I hope you are better soon as well. Sounds like a nasty bug.

asteamedpoater · 11/09/2008 15:34

Good luck. Poor you and your family - severe vomiting and diarrhoea is scary, but now she's on a drip, she'll be OK. Our ds had severe dehydration (loss of more than 10% of his bodyweight) and a couple of days after he got off the drip, he was full of energy again. Made me feel guilty we hadn't been able to get him to a hospital sooner, though - we would have done if we'd been in this country at the time.

RhinestoneCowgirl · 11/09/2008 15:38

Trace - sorry to hear that your DD is still poorly, sounds like you've had a rough time of it. She is in the right place and will get well.

Take care of yourself too.

trace2 · 11/09/2008 20:51

thank you for your kind messages and good vibes! keep them coming please,

chloes blood tests say shes been v ill with dehydration in her kidneys but took some more today, she wont eat or drink at all and she still as runny pooos they have sent them of to be tested. and they trying to wean her of drip to see if she will drink, but they said they may have to put her back on in a few hours as they dare not let er get that bad again

wehaveallbeenthere · 11/09/2008 22:06

Good luck on it Trace2. I've said to friends (they didn't understand but I think you will from your experience) that I love children, I just hate raising them.
There is always some illness or sleepless night around the corner. You feel like you should be able to make them better and when you have done everything you feel like you've let them down. You haven't of course but you feel like you have.
Don't worry so (I know you will but try to save your strength) because your family needs you to be strong. You did the right thing. Thoughts are with you and yours.

ShowOfHands · 12/09/2008 11:40

How is she today trace? Been thinking about her over night. Hope she's perked up a wee bit.

trace2 · 12/09/2008 11:48

hi soh, we home was just going to update! shes only took 7 oz milk since yesterday no food but stopped being sick still as runns due to lactose intolerance but now shes of drip its hard keeping her still as she as perked up so we asked if we could bring her home (they know us pretty well we live there) anyway was told yes as long as we watch her and the signs to look for now.

tbh carnt wait now for the gastric feeding tube whats being fitted in 3weeks as it will gain her weight

LackaDAISYcal · 12/09/2008 11:58

glad she's home again trace, and hope she is on the mend soon. Make sure you and DH are looking after yourselves as well xx

Let me know if there's anything I can do

FrazzledFairyFay · 12/09/2008 11:59

I'm so glad you are all home. I hope she gets better really soon
