Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Ben will need to be rehydrated with electrolytes and D10 (10% Dextrose). Once he has no ketones/hypoglycemia, they can lower it to D5, but he must eat. As he eats and drinks, he can be lowered on the IV, but he will probably need some " gut rest " before you can reintroduce foods. If nothing else, his throat and mouth will need to heal a bit. You should start out with clear liquids first and add solids as he can take them. This can take from a day or two to several. Don't be surprised if there are setbacks. Do NOT remove him from the IV too soon or you will definitely have a setback. Time will tell how long he needs this. There is no definite answer. Good luck and let us know how it goes! Feel better, Ben!!! Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hi a Have you tried using sachets of Dyralite[?sp]with a syringe.If you drizzle a small enough amount inside his cheek it is quite difficult for him to spit it out.I've done this with Christian when he was younger and although it is incredibly time consuming anything is better than a night in hospital.Best of luck Joanne Bad Weekend > Ben is having a very bad weekend, he woke up this morning woth a very > hegh temp, refusing to drink, in fact screamin gwhen anything when > itto has mounth, ran him up to the docs, he has tonsillitus and > thrush in his mount. he also has a viral rash. he is not happy, has a > tiny amount to drink. he is not dehydrated yet, but i don't think it > will be to long before he is in hospital for rehydration. he has > timed it well though, until two days age i was going mad trying to > get two final essays in at uni. they were finished, i had 1 night of > peace and now this!!! > > can someone send me the protocol that Dr H suggests for rehydration? > a few more hours and he will have to be admitted. > > Thanks > a > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 -hello justina My name is n and I was reading your message i hahave 3 grown daughters and i will share something with you that i use to do for my childern you may know and already tryed it but anything is worth a try. Do you know the little push up pops the ones that have like 100 in a box for like 5.00 well anyway keep them in the freezer and let ben suck on them all day on and off it kind of numbs there mouth so that they can eat it sounds funny to give them a treat before they eat but he may be able to eat after he has about 3 of them. as for the fever do not put him in a tube that can send him into scock take a cool rag and wipe him down offten with that and i found that chilern motrin helps the best and fastiets to reduce the fever i dont know why doctors don't tell you to use it but he does work also the most important thing is feed ben with plastic wear and not your silverwear get rid of it after every meal also what every he is drinking out of i don't know how old he is so i don't know what all will work for him do not let his tooth brush sit near anyone elses also go to the dollar store and buy somemore every other day throw the old tooth brush away i am in the dental field and grems will breed in them also to make it less work cover his pilliow with a towel every night and wash that every day in hot water spray his bed every moring with lystol spray its hard to get rid of thrush when you are still suing things that it is breading in also it is very easy to pass along that is why you move his tooth brush and try not to let anyone use anything that has been in his mouth. Hope that this helps you and i hope that he feels better soon best of luck n -- In RSS-Support@y..., " justina1uk " wrote: > Ben is having a very bad weekend, he woke up this morning woth a very > hegh temp, refusing to drink, in fact screamin gwhen anything when > itto has mounth, ran him up to the docs, he has tonsillitus and > thrush in his mount. he also has a viral rash. he is not happy, has a > tiny amount to drink. he is not dehydrated yet, but i don't think it > will be to long before he is in hospital for rehydration. he has > timed it well though, until two days age i was going mad trying to > get two final essays in at uni. they were finished, i had 1 night of > peace and now this!!! > > can someone send me the protocol that Dr H suggests for rehydration? > a few more hours and he will have to be admitted. > > Thanks > a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
