okay, i'm getting worried. we tried to wake up our son for school today and he could hardly wake up, could hardly stand up, was "so tired." he's had diarrhea since saturday but it seemed to be improving slowly. he hardly ate yesterday but the doctor said that was normal (on the phone). he's sleeping now; i didn't go to work today and we haven't been able to reach the doctor yet (it's not 8:30 AM yet). i'm totally worried about my son.
but he's probably going to be fine. right?

He is going to be fine Dragon, but I would still take him to the doc today, just to be sure !

thanks, ht. he's been sick for a couple of weeks. and usually he's such a manic ball of energy, i'm kind of freaked out.

He probably just had a bug that he hasn't been able to fight propperly. Maybe he just needs a bit of antibiotics and he's back to being a maniac ball of energy !!

Yes, dragonfly, he's going to be fine...but do have the doctor check him. He could be a bit dehydrated from the diarrhea. Try to get some clear liquids into him while you're waiting for the doctor. He probably is quite run down from the illness and the antibiotics have probably upset his digestive system a bit.

well, i can't get any liquids in him while he's sleeping...but he hardly ate yesterday so i imagine that that's not boosting his energy levels any.
the doctor's still not answering his phone.
this whole parenting is just WORRY all the time, huh? interspersed with extreme cuteness.

Sleep is good too. Yes, this worrying thing lasts a lifetime...but the rewards are amazing.

Oh, poor little guy. He's probably dehydrated as someone above said. Hope you get hold of the doctor right away so you can get him feeling better.

He probably is quite run down from the illness and the antibiotics have probably upset his digestive system a bit. exactly that. and he's sleeping it off. but yeah, he's probably dehydrated and depleted of energy both because of it.

oh, and if he still has diarrhoea, have you tried giving him to drink rice water (the water in which rice was cooked)? until this has settled?
I do think his digestive system is totally messed up by the antibiotics and it'll take time to get back to normal. he might have trouble digesting some foods for a little while but it will get better.

Well, now he's watching Dora and eating a rice cake. Dr says we need to get a poop sample and bring it to the lab. Fun times!

Hello nerd table, I'm enjoying a very lovely ginger molasses cookie and a glass of ice cold milk. Some days are just milk and cookie days.

Hi dragon, giggling must a sign that he is feeling better.
