You know in the last 5 years I have seen our Finnian puke,toss, vomit what ever you want to call it many times. But this time it was really bad. So bad I was ready to take him to the ER as he wasn't even able to keep his meds down. Normally he can hold down diet ginger ale that is flattened on a low pump rate but not this time. You all know how bad it is to have the dry heaves well its worse to watch your child having them. I even called the GI to see if there was something that I could give him to stop him from throwing up, but because of the keto diet there is not alot I can do for him or give him but to watch him and ride the storm out. We kept watching him for dehydration because he is medically fragile he would go down hill really fast. Thankfully he kept peeing and he must have been keeping something down. His low grade tempature finally broke today and knock on wood he has kept everything down. I even gave him some formula but on a very slow rate and he kept it down. I was so afraid that his potassium levels would drop as it has happened before so we have kept him on his pluse ox to watch his heart rate and also his O2.
Thankfully this evening he is coming back to his normal self but he still has a cough and his tonsils are still very inflamed so hopefully the antibotic will start to work on that now.
We heard via the neuro's office that there is a bad tummy bug going around and a friend of my Mom's said the same thing she knowns some people who have had it. There is also swine flu going around hopefully that doesn't come knocking on our door.
THankfully our lad is pulling through and we have avoided a trip to the hospital.
