Re: /all-Vomiting/dehydration (When to go for IV fluids)

[Guest guest]

I thought she was doing better as she hadn't vomited since about noon,

but then she just did it again (it's 4:30 PM) We have been pushing the

Pedialite until her daddy brings home some Red Bull or Mountain Dew as some

on this list have mentioned helping their kids. The frustration is the

already planned trop to Mayo tomorrow and needing to pack for Sun.-Thursday

minimum and then thinking that we may need to leave today instead and not

being ready! We also don't want to go and arrive to find she is then better

and not needing hospitalized after all. I will watch her until evening when

my husband returns form work to see how she is doing.

I will say a prayer, wishing everything goes smoothly for you and her. I completely understand your frustration. It always seems like everything will go smoothly for awhile, then bam everything is chaos because Grace has to go to the hospital. Hopefully the pedialyte does the trick.

Best wishes.
