MommyOf3But4ToBe (701.8 days ago)
I did the same thing once, my son had a very high temp, i took him to the er only to have him go from looking like a limp noodle to having a ton of energy in ther er... i feel for you. Turns our that he had an ear infection, so i am really glad i went. I would rather go and find out it was nothing than wait it out nad find out it was serious... You did the right thing by following your instincts hun...

If something had REALLY been wrong, you would have been the hero. Trust your instincts. My child has miraculously gotten better when we have gone to the doctor.

I think with a 4 year old they have no motives to `fake` illnesses, now if he was a 14 year old and had a Maths test the next day then that`s another story! LOL! I`m sure you reacted the way most women in your sitation would have.

Oh Hunny, we are mommy`s, it is our job to worry about and do everything in our power to protect our babies, even from viruses! My DD had just started running and she tripped over her feet and did a header into a book shelf. Her forehead had a gash that wouldn`t stop bleeding and I rushed her to the ER, the second we walk in she stops screaming, smiles and waves at the nurse in the window. She calmed down, let them clean her up, played peekaboo with the doctor who decided she did not need stitches, gave her a band aid, and told me not to worry about rushing her in since she DID have blood all over her shirt and down her neck... Proof that I wasn`t comepletly insane!!! Lol, it is fine to panic with your little one, their lives are so precious and in our hands.

Last night my 4 yr old just became not well all of a sudden. He did not eat his dinner which is very unusual for him he just sat there not moving staring at it. DH put him in the shower and he cried saying he was cold, so I got him straight out and ready for bed. He got right in to bed (the light was already off) I got his milk and turned the light on and he started screaming at me to turn the light off because he eyes hurt. I took his temp and it was over 100. He was able to move his (I asked him to put his chin on his chest) he was able to sit up and he didn`t have a rash. I called the emergancy doc and took him to the out of hours surgery. He has a viral infection but he perked up in the docs office and the light had stopped hurting his eyes. I felt so silly because everything I said he had, went away after the medicine. Everyone said not to feel stupid because its natural, I just can`t help feeling like one of them mums who rush their kids to A&E when there child cuts their little finger lol.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
