momofsara Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 we have had another episode of temp spiking to 104. 2 hours after giving sara 2 arthritis strength tylenol,the temp was still 103. i called her doc and he advised to go to er. after waiting there for aprox. 4 hours,her temp had fallen to 99.7, we finally saw the er doc. they ran the usual tests, of course found nothing remarkable, so we were sent home with no fluids or anything. she had been pouring sweat and i'm sure was somewhat dehydrated. OH WELL, whats new????? sorry just had to vent. i felt as if she should at least have had some fluids to help her feel better. btw, that night she got up to go to the bathroom, got dizzy and fell(twice) got a nasty sprained foot/ankle --so it was a wonderful day altogether--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryfw Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I am so sorry to hear about this. I hate hospital visits and even worse when it is your child instead of yourself. Hang in there and keep calling for help. You are in my prayers. mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm so sorry! Hang in there. You are both in my thoughts. It definitely is frustrating when you can't even get fluids...doctors act like I'm asking for some kind of controlled substance and not just a saline IV!Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
