Anybody about? Give me some advice please!

ds was discharged from hospital yesterday about being on iv fluids for dehydration following a sever e bout of gastroenteritis.I've told to be offering fluids every hour or so.
since being home he has been drinking normally and seems quite bright. He fell asleep at about 9pm last night and hasn't woken since.do i wake him to give him a drink? or just assume that as he is sleeping and hasn't vomitted all day or night that its safe to leave him?

.

Alexsmum, If he's breathing normally and he's not lost more fluids over the last 24 hours than on a day when he's healthy I think I'd let him sleep - little ones do a lot of healing in their sleep

If you're really concerned go with your instincts

breathing normally as in not sounding dry...

cheers wabbit. he last vomitted wednesday night and had iv fluids all night wed and drank normally yesterday.i'll leave him.hopefully he'll wake soon and i'll get him drinking then.
can you tell i've got my worrying head on?

his lips look ok...

Awwww. us mums are here to worry aren't we? Only natural

How old is he?

what a nightmare this week has been wabbit.really scary.

when did he first become ill? what were the first signs of gastroenteritis?

he just strated vomitting pretty much constantly.at least hourly for for 24 hours.
