Update:my son is sick and I don’t know how to help him.

I posted on here some 100 days ago looking for help with my son who was quite sick and I didn’t know how to help him. I’ve just realised that I never gave a final update on him.After our first trip to the emergency department he continued to be extremely sick, and I knew something just wasn’t right. I ended up taking him to the emergency department in the next town over and finally someone took me seriously. He got blood tests, xrays, ultrasounds the works.It turns out that he wasn’t just teething, and that I wasn’t just some overly paranoid first time mum. He had bacterial pneumonia and was severely dehydrated!It took them 9 tries to get an IV line into him because of how dehydrated he was. And then we had to get rushed by ambulance to a larger hospital that was more equipped to dealing with his needs.I’m so upset after all of this that I tried so hard to get him help and was fobbed off so many times with people actually telling me I was just panicking as a first time mum and that he was probably just teething. Well to those people i say “I was right! I know my son and I knew he was sick! And I knew he wasn’t teething, he hasn’t gained any teeth since he was 6 months and he will be 1 next Wednesday!”He is completely fine now, completely back to normal but I will never forget what happened and that I need to advocate for my son because sometimes no one else will. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3zkkwk7
