We traveled yesterday to visit family, we are staying at a hotel. Today, at my sister's Maggie kept saying her stomache was upset, which is not unusual for her after traveling. So I wasn't too concerned. UNTIL she sat on my sister's couch and started turning green. I looked at my sis and said you better get a bucket. Sure enough she has the pukes...no fever but she feels awful. Must've puked at least 6 or 7 times. Course, Maggie has already had 2 bowel obstructions so I am totally freaking out. She had pooped a small amount before puking. So I called a friend of mine who knows about most the kids in town and what is going around and sure enough the stomache bug is going around Maggie's kindergarten. SO now I'm worried about dehydration, she finally was able to take a freeze pop and a few ounces of ginger ale without throwing up. Fortunately, we are in the city so we are close to CHildren's Hospital of Boston if she does need an IV. This S*cks. We are back at the hotel and Maggie is sleeping and I am praying she doesn't puke again. We are supposed to go skiing in 2 days. maggie was crying that she loves skiiing and couldn't spend time with her cousins. I feel so bad! She felt so bad she missed her evening nebs and VEST(couldn't bear to shake a puking and miserable child) Plus she couldn't take her singulair. What do I do if she still feels so bad she can't do her nebs and Vest in the morning???

Hopefully she'll feel better now that she's thrown up and isn't eating anything. Max had a nasty stomach bug when he was almost a year old and I was still able to do cpt, give him pedialyte and his meds, but learned the hard way that even if he was feeling better NOT to give him regular food.

If she can't do her vest, would she let you do CPT and tolerate it. Otherwise, I imagine all you can do is maybe just let her do nebs and keep her hydrated. Did you ask your friend how long the other kids in her school were under the weather?

UGH -- I'm so sorry to hear Maggie is feeling so yucky, Rebecca. Hopefully its a quick 24 hour thing. Focus on keeping her hydrated: pedialyte or gatorade in small amouts.

As for the vest, our doc said that you don't want to do it if they are just going to throw up. If she won't even tolerate pd, then maybe you could get her to do some huff coughs.

Hang in there, this is not the vacation I'm sure you had imagined. I hope she'll be better for skiing.

Well, Maggie slept well last night; she drank a whole ginger ale without throwing up last night. Felt better this am; had a freeze pop and water and threw up again. I have her doing her nebs right now, not sure about CPT...I guess I'll try manual. Skipping the vitamins, she'll have to take her antibiotic...We are supposed to check out tommorow of this hotel and drive a couple hours to ski...not sure what to do. My friend said this stomache thing lasted a few days and made the kids really tired...so far Maggie has no fever so that's good. Thanks for your support.
