No worries. I was concerned OP's daughter had both flu and stomach virus, and I thought that would be too much for a little child.

Sounds like her daughter is not in hospital, which surprises me as she is clearly still quite ill and dehydration is very serious at that point. Been there, done that...

Best of health to both OP and her child.

She is taking her back. Maybe they will admit her this time, considering her circumstances.

Yes, I just saw that. Based on her symptoms, it sounds like she needs to be admitted.

Not sure what hospital she is at (I know Disney has their own preferences), but our care at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital was superb. They kept our child for 2 days and it was for the best.

Best of luck to OP, Tiger

I think we have to go back to hospital for more iv fluids and antibiotics. I'm in contact with doctors now. Again I am so glad we are insured.

antibiotics? So they are suspecting a bacteria and not a virus? Salmonella, E. coli? PLEASE do go back if that is the case! I have seen quite a few devastating E. coli cases, and not to scare you, but some with not good results. Please go, make sure she isn't septic!

Since you have had a little rest/nourishment, have you had any success with contacting the trip insurance/credit cards? Another thought, but you probably already know the answer, but does your insurance from CA have ANYTHING to help you out when travelling abroad so you do not have to keep paying upfront for all these costs? Just wondering, even if you can't do the calling, is someone back home able to help you out with all that?

Good catch, I missed that. Neither flu nor a tummy virus would need antibiotics...maybe something else like strep, bronchitis, etc...?

Oh, yes. Maybe it has spread to kidneys? That happened to my grandma many times.

Ugh man I hope she isn't septic! Please keep is posted. You guys have lots of people Sending you healing vibes!!!

DebbieOBX · 02-10-2013, 07:17 PM

Sending love and prayers. I'm really sorry this has happened to you and your DD.

I made a mistake by posting to take her to the ship. I'm very sorry for that.

Perhaps when you both get home, you will allow some 'gifts' sent to your little one. : )

Please keep us posted.

Debbie.

Yes! If it is a bacteria- go back!! My friend's 5 year old daughter just had an E. Coli type bacteria. She had the pukes and poops too- that was how it started. She was in the hospital for 3.5 weeks, had daily dialysis for about a week of that and a bunch of blood transfusions. It was super scary and life threatening. She is recovered now (this was around Thanksgiving) but it was really touch and go for a bit. Before this, totally healthy 5 year old. She is in kindergarten at the school where I teach (not my class because we are good friends) but just 3 days before this hit, she was running and playing all over the playground.

anna08 · 02-10-2013, 07:56 PM

Trust your instincts on returning to the hospital, and as another has advised, keep track of your daughters urine output - if she can go as long as 8 hours without needing to go then you do need to head back for more IV fluids.

Good luck and thank goodness you didn't get on the ship - can you imagine having to deal with a hospital at one of the ports by yourself?! Hoping you will both get some rest and relief very soon!

Lollipop's Mom · 02-10-2013, 08:09 PM

So today she is brighter. No vomiting! Her melds stayed down so doc cleared her to stay at the resort. She managed to watch the animal feeding for about 30 mins. She is on fluids only and only wants ginger ale. Hotel sent her chicken broth as well. We got a call at noon saying they were sending us a "big surprise" but our do not disturb sign was on the door. I removed it and phoned but nothing has been sent up. I feel odd calling and saying hey where's our surprise? Lol. But of course dying to see what it is.
