Just a reminder…

Hope he’s ok! My little girl is under the weather and I am just feeling overwhelmed and worrying about her x

Oh no, i hope he is ok whatever it is ❤️

I really hope that your baby is OK and has a speedy recovery. What happened so that others can maybe look out for signs?

So he had a bit of a temperature, didn’t think much of it, gave him calpol and went down slightly this was on Monday, Tuesday came round he was still drinking his milk but felt warm and I thought something wasn’t right, that evening at around 4pm he projectiled his milk that he had an hour earlier, then 5pm he had spiked a temp of 40 and I said to my husband you need to take him to hospital as I know something isn’t right, he projectiled more milk. He fell asleep in my arms which isn’t out the ordinary as he naps at that time. Husband called 111 and said they’d call back.. I woke him from his nap, he had a temp still of 38 and I still gave him some milk, he drank 6oz. 7:30pm and still no call back. I told my husband that he is taking him to hospital now. He is not well and I’m not waiting around. Anyway, he takes him there and they think it’s sepsis, he has blood tests done, cannula put in and they are alternating between calpol and neurofen which is what we’d been doing. He had a

High white blood count and they suspected a water infection. So more test done and straight on antibiotics. Two nights in hospital in the end and the first day he was there he was in and out of sleep, hardly drinking milk etc. he is on a 10 day antibiotic. First 5 days was via cannula, although the last two days it’s stopped working so they injected it into his leg instead and now we are on oral antibiotics!

Aw how scary. Poor baby. Well done for getting him to the hospital. Are you home now or still in hospital? Hope he recovers quickly x
