Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hey all - Ian has some kind of virus. Normally in this family - we vomit at night time! Never had a day vomiter before. So......thus my reason for this silly question. I know this has been discussed many many times - but, I'd love a reminder. Ian has not eaten for 12 hours. He had 6 oz of his supplement this morning - and has vomited 3 times - so, I'd say he's probably kept 2 or 3 oz down. (I've been told by nurses in the past that they usually keep more down than " it looks like " ). Anyway, I've also been told by MDs and nurses that you have to wait at least an hour from the last time they vomited before you can offer something to them to drink. So we are going to watch Pooh's Heffalump movie hopefully without any incident. My question is how long do you think I should go with him before I call his Pediatrician to get him in for an IV at the hospital. Again, he normally vomits at night which has allowed him to eat all day and then by morning he's fine - so, it's not usually an issues. Oh - by the way - I don't have an accu check to check his blood sugars - but, he's normally great in the that area. Sorry again for the repetitive question - but, would love the help. Thanks. - H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
