My eldest child almost died a couple of years ago after having a sickness bug and being rushed to hospital with dehydration and dangerously low blood sugars. She was unresponsive.
It occurred after an evening of vomiting, followed by a day of sipping plain water and not eating anything.
I currently now have my youngest child who is the same age that she was when it happened who is throwing up through the night. She's now been sick 4 times. She just wants to sleep, but I'm terrified of the same thing happening again. Do I keep waking her to give fluids with rehydration fluids or let her sleep? I'm a nervous wreck as it's brought back awful memories and my husband is nonchalantly saying "just let her sleep, she'll be fine." He clearly has a much shorter memory than I do and isn't as traumatised.
She's not really drank anything since the first bout of vomiting at 10pm. I've syringed 10ml of water into her mouth whilst half awake but that's it.
Please advise. My husband is of no support or understanding.
