[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You did the right thing. It could have been sepsis. My friend’s 6 year old granddaughter died from flu last year (even with the shot). I would not f with flu anymore![/quote] +1 Flu can move very quickly into very serious complications in young children. Waiting too long to get them to a hospital can make things worse--fast. They can decline with frightening rapidity, and a parent isn't qualified to decide they're going to be fine. That's what the doctors are there for. Just because your child was OK this time, OP, that does not mean you were wrong; it means you were cautious. Please don't let your DH or your ped make you second-guess yourself to the point that next time your gut says "hospital" you hesitate out of worry they'd criticize you as "overreacting." And OP, you need a new ped, ASAP.[/quote]
