Last week Max had some crud, that he picked up at summercamp. Started with fever and vomiting, then diarrea, then croup, coughing like crazy. Tuesday he just laid on the couch, did NOT want to move, so he must have been feeling bad !
Friday he was back in school and they called me to come pick him up, it looked like he had pinkeye (conjunctivitis) Sure enough, but our good old doc was nice enough to call in an RX.
Fast forward, Max is doing good, back in camp, now Sebastian, Lili and myself have the sniffles and coughs. Sebastian started running a fever early am yesterday, so he just laid on the couch and slept all afternoon. Around 7.30 pm he insisted he wanted to swim..............his fever was 101.7...................I gave in, thinking maybe the water would cool him off. He just sat on the steps and played a little with the water. Then he came in and had a bath and mommy gave him a popsicle, now that was an adventure !!
All this time I was thinking, people must think I am crazy ! Especially my family.....................remember y'all, it does NOT get below 27C here and the poolwater is lukewarm....................he looked like he felt a lot better!!
Dosed him with Tylenol and Motrin and did not hook him on his tubefeeds for the night, since he was already gagging every time he was coughing.
He just woke up, so I am going to attempt a bolus feed ( a small one)

Hoi San,
Een ziek kind geeft zelf aan wat het wil doen/eten en kan doen/eten, dus ik had hetzelfde gedaan.
Groetjes,
