Aww poor poppet. If you went to the Dr yesterday hun i would be waiting to see how she is by this arvo, that is great that she has had that much already and I would just keep offering regular amounts of water all day. It has obviously taken it out of her.
Thanks girls. Was thinking that maybe waiting until this arvo was a good idea. She is still really lethargic and it has completely drained the poor little thing.
I just remember we do have some hydralite in the freezer from when DS was sick last year. Will pull one out when she wakes up! Thanks heaps girls, I hate it when I doubt myself. The reassurance and info is great!
is she weeing much??? I always watch, fluids going in fluids going out, if there is not much coming out and she is not alert when she is awake, take her back to double check. I had a DR miss my daughter being completely dehydrated. Mummy knows her child best!
If you are concerned definatly take her back. My daughter gets dehydrated regularly due to infections so we spend a lot of time in ED getting IV fluids pumped into her (she cant have hydrolite, icypoles and wont drink water due to her autism).
Persist as much as you can to get the fluids in and check back with the doc as much as you feel you need to, worse case if you are still concerned take her to the hospital.
We had a good day with DD today. She still isn't eating much but has taken a lot more fluids than the previous 2 days.Her nappies have also been much wetter as a result She is still sleeping a lot and now has spots on her body. Her eyes were much better after her sleep. I just wish this would end!!
