A Question ?
Hello, I haven't been reading much lately .......I have been babysitting for my
step daughter , her son, my 23 month old grandson........On Monday we had another granddaughter! Gabriel Gayle by Gayles son David this time That's 5 grandkids now and counting ! It's great The question is: Since monday.....My 23 month grandson kristopher started having Diahrea, after about 4 episodes it began to look like blood so we ended up in the ER 5 hours to leave with no diagnosis? So far they have not diagnosed him! First they said Samonella sp? poisoning....then they decided NO to that now they simply say maybe it is a viral infection ? They have given him no medication...no nothing but a water and bread diet . and he continues to have an episode about a half hour after he has his prison rations ? Has anyone experienced anything like this and what was it diagnosed as ? Thanks in advance for any and all responses. Bev ? |

Water is not sufficient for a child with diarrhea. He should be drinking something with electrolyte replacement, like pedialyte. Bloody diarrhea can also be a sign of c. diff. infection. Either way, he needs medication, and possibly intravenous fluids. Diarrhea in children for more than 24 hours needs to be addressed by a doctor. Even if it has been addressed before. I have often found that ER doctors have NO idea what to do for children. The advice about his diet was way off base for a child. Not so much for an adult, but for children, dehydration happens quickly. Find a pediatrician, if he doesn't have one. Betsy |

T Tiff His mom took him the very next day to the pediatrician , where she was told the sample the hospital took was not enough to test so fortunately he went again there in the docs office so we are waiting for results to that ? I have him again today cause his mom HAD to go to work because of the holiday and the consequences from her employer , ( tics me off cause employers have to be so compassionless most of the time) he seems to be having a better time of it , no blood in his last few but still goes a half hour after he eats anything , which is also starting to look healthier gasp if you know what I mean !

Betsy O.K. yeah my bad I forgot to mention his mom has to get more of this "enfalite" that the doc gave her, yesterday, seems he will not drink pedialite and the doc gave her 4 small bottles of this "new " item that he will drink and had through out his day yesterday, but so far nobody has it yet ? So she has me giving him water that has a little jello powder in it for flavor so he will at least drink the water for now . Still waiting tho to hear what the sample tests reveal.His bowel movements are looking much better, his mom said to give him oatmeal today for breakfast and he ate it like we expected he was so hungry ! So far still no blood show , he is napping right now, maybe whatever this has been is passing, but I have never experienced this before and it would be nice if they can diagnose this rather than the old "I don't know" . Thanks Betsy ! |

If he's still no better a day after emerg, get him to a doctor. This happened to my eldest when she was four - one day, it was the old starvation diet and the next day she was admitted, stat, so fast they wouldn't let me get her some clothes on the way home from the doctor's office. And she was nearly twice his age. They dehydrate *very* quickly. Get to a doctor. Right away. Emerg, if needed. Cele Thanks Cele, did your daughter also have the blood ? The diahrea hasn't concerned me as much as the fact there was blood? he is improving today, I feel so bad for this poor baby , 3 weeks ago he got slammed with an allergic reaction to Augmentin , his poor little butt welted and burned from the reaction which was then diahrea ? He ended up with a severe yeast infection and he screamed bloody murder when ever he went in his diaper. His mom keeps asking these doctors if this could all still be from that and they say no cause he was off all antibiotics for a week prior to this happening ? I guess this is why they say doctors "practice" medicine ! Bev |
