Guest guest Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 we have not had this happen from a cough but when my son got really upset and was.crying a lot he would get sick. this happened most in our last cast. i don't know if its from the air in the tummy or what. candice Sent from Samsung Mobile Amber wrote: Hi all.

This is the 2nd time this has happened in our Scoli Journey (happened at the end of his 3rd cast also) so I wondered if anyone else had these problems & what tips anyone would have to control it? Last time I called both our peds doc & our cast doc & we didn't really get any answers either way. Of course as the cold gets better so does the vomiting, but until then any ideas?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hey Amber-- I honestly dont know if it the cast or not. Im sure it doesnt help the situation. Logan (3rd boy) has always been our "vommiter". (he is also the only one casted) But if Logan coughs too much or even gets too upset ( and I mean just like over 1 minute of crying) he will vomit. We have become professional racers at getting him off carpeted areas since he was 9 months old (when he was first casted). He doenst do it nearly as much as he used too, but I have always just put a point under "cast wins". I figured with that bottom piece of the cast going right over his abdomen, there was just too little of room.
