My oldest has been sick for 2 weeks now with a mystery illness. At first I thought he was faking it just to get out of doing his chores, but now I believe him. I took him to the E.R. with bad stomach pains and vomiting. They ran every test they could on him and came up with NOTHING. They said he may have a virus, but that there was nothing that they could do for him. So we came home and the next day he was fine all day until 4:00 pm. This seems to be the pattern now. He will be perfectly fine all day long until late afternoon. Then the stomach pain starts up and he won't eat anything and just lays on the couch in the fetal position. Poor kid.
I picked up Zofran, stool softener, and Tylenol yesterday. We'll see if that helps at all. Hopefully it's not like this for much longer. We are currently trying to get a referral to a G.I. doctor. I'm not sure if they will be able to find anything either, but it's worth a shot. I hope and pray that he can get back to feeling better soon. It's summer for pete's sake. That will be fun for him to tell all of his friends at school when they ask what he did during summer break." I laid on my couch and threw up all summer". Yay!
If anyone has ever had anything like this before and got over, could you let me know what you did to help it along? Thanks.
