Hi there
This is a first post and I would be very very grateful if anyone out there recognised the symptoms which have come with our two year old daughter being quite unwell over the past two to three months.
She vomits every few days (with a period about two weeks ago where it was a daily occurrence) and has been lethargic for several months now too. This takes the form of listlessness and placing her head on our laps and shoulders and not wanting to play. Today we are more concerned than before as she asked to go for a nap about an hour and a half after waking up this morning (she slept for 45 minutes), and then asked for her further nap at 11.30 (her usual nap time).
We have been to our GP on three occasions and were referred to our paediatric A&E, where (thankfully) they found nothing acutely wrong after doing blood tests. After this there has been about a week and a half where she has been doing better but last night she vomited again and is listless as mentioned above. A traditional visit to our playground - which she normally laps up - lasted just 10 minutes before she asked to come home.
Through all of this, curiously, her appetite has been good and she asks for food on a fairly regular basis.
We now have an appointment to see a specialist paediatrician at a major city hospital but that appointment is about four weeks away.
In the meantime we are wracking our brains for what the cause of her poorliness might be. A homeopath visited the other day and we are waiting for her conclusions. Also, we are trying our daughter out on a gluten free diet, but the vomiting has continued to occur.
I can't think of any other important details to mention here. People do remake on how particularly pale she is, but that is a feature of both of our families.
Grateful for any thoughts.
