How to lose 6 months!
Most of you will know the struggle Oskar has had to put weight on and to grow. On the 1st March we saw the consultant again who was happy that he was making some progress weight wise, despite being tiny for his height. He now sees the dietician regularly and has been given Calcuim medicine supplement to help his bones grow as he refuses all types of milk substitutes known to man!!
We had been celebrating his progress and thoguht everything was getting back to normal. However:
Last Sunday he started throwing up constantly this lasted until Tuesday night when he then developed diarrhea as well as still throwing up. He was unable to keep anything down including water. Still ill on Wednesday I decided to make an emergency appointment after work wed with the dr. They saw him and admitted him to hospital. At hospital he was given fluids and medicine to help rehydrate him and was weighed - to my horror he is now back down to the weight he was 6 MONTHS AGO!!
When the consultant saw him she thought he was about 8months old not 15months.
He has been allowed home as he has stopped being sick but still has diarrhea. They said he had a very bad bug that has been going around causing lots of young children to be hospitalised - there were 6other little ones in hospital at the same time with the same bug and all with drips to get fluid into them!
Oskar now has daily diarolyte to keep him hydrated and is starting to eat dry toast then it will be time to try and feed him up again - if he is willing to eat!
Hope everyone elses little ones are ok and enjoying the sunnier weather
