Sending prayers and {{{{{Get Well Soon Vibes}}}}} to Taylor.
Yes!Originally Posted by LSULOVER
I hope this finds Taylor feeling a little better, and it probably is a virul thing, just keep doing what you are doing.
No he didn't. I'll ask Kimmy (my sister) in the morning if Taylor is able to. What does this indicate if she is not able to? Thanks for the heads up!Originally Posted by kluchetta
Did the doctor have you make sure she can touch her chin to her chest?
I've never heard of this before! Thankyou for the advice. I will definitely get some ginger for her tomorrow (she's asleep right now- i just called my sister to check on her- her fever is down a little but she still wasn't feeling well before she went to lay down for the night). We will be taking her to the doctor tomorrow if she still has a fever. Thanks for the advice! I will definitely get some for her to tryOriginally Posted by catsknowme
Adding my {{{{prayers and vibes}}}} for TaylorYou might try giving her a small bit of crystallized ginger to nibble on, and some room-temp, natural flavored gingerale. the ginger helps in the same way as Pedialyte. My daughter was given this advice by her pediatrician after a bad spell of encephlitis that caused constant nausea and vomiting. I've used it myself, since then, and it does seem to help with the electrolytes. IF you can't find any of those, make a ginger water with about a tsp. of ground ginger in a glass of warm water with enough sugar (preferably raw) to make it palatable. Be sure to give tiny but frequent doses. Please keep on giving us updates

I hope she feels better soon!
I am wondering about touching her chin to her chest, I have never heard any one say some thing about that? I hope the ginger helps her, if you try it!
She probably is fine. That's the test doctors use to diagnose meningitis, which has those symptoms, but usually the person is really, really sick, so not to worry you!Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
