My hubby just got home and called me....my boy has a fever and is just laying there on our bed...not jumping and running and climbing and laughing like he normally does!

I'm so upset...I know kids get sick, but I wish I was there with him!!!! AND why didn't my mil call me to tell me earlier! now I have to wait for the 6:15 train.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

ANYWAY! please say a prayer he's okay....I know it may seem silly for me to ask that for a fever, but he can't always tell me what is wrong due to the Autism...and I just get really really nervous in my head....like I never know when to over react or not...and just watch him like a hawk to figure out what it is....this is the part of ASD I HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!:explode: I'm sure he'll be fine....I just need to see him w/ my own eyes....dh put him on the phone w/ me and I said, "hi buddy, are you okay?"....and he said in a sick little voice..."hi momma...see d' lada...bye bye! and then rolled over and gave the phone to daddy....he always wants to talk and be silly....my poor kiddo!:brokenheart:

okay sorry to vent...I'm feeling more upset cuz I'm not w/ him....he never gets sick....sigh

hugs and thanks for listening!

    I know how much that sucks.... i am so sorry.

    I know with my son since he is autistic his pain threshold is high so basically when he is at that point its time to take him to the doctor because of dehydration

    Awwwww my poor lil cyber nephew!!! I pray that he recovers quickly from whatever he has!

    It stinks when our kids are sick. I know I feel COMPLETELY helpless and just want to be here with J.T. too!

    You'll be with him soon, cuddling on the bed with him and all will be right with the world!!

    Hugs! Take care of yourself hun!!!

    I'm sorry to hear that. Take a deep breath, relax, and get home safe for him. I'm sure all will be well, especially since he obviously has such loving parents. You sound like a fabulous mommy! :flowerforyou:

    Aww poor kido

    I swear I can diagnose my son's common aliments within a few moments of being with him..(ear infection, etc. by his behavior). Moms just know how serious it is. Hope it's just a little bug that passes quickly for your son.

    That stinks when you can't just rush to him and hold him. I know that is my first instinct is to rush to my kids. At least he is with his dad. It is like a double edged sword--sometimes it is better not to know until your home, so you don't worry yourself sick, and yet if you didn't find out til you got home you'd be madder than heck 'cause nobody told you sooner. Hang in there and try not to stress too much--he's in good hands.:smile:

    Ali, as soon as you walk in the door, I guarantee he's going to get a lot better. He needs his mommy so you're doing the right thing in going home. Wrap yourself around him, showering him with kisses, and work your magic. I'm so sorry he's sick. My daughter just came home sick too, but I can only imagine how terrifying it is with a child who may not communicate everything they're feeling as freely as they may want to. But you know your baby and as soon as you see him, you'll know what to do. Sending hugs, prayers, and good wishes your way. Keep us posted!!!

    well I've been home for about 40 mins now thanks to a nice train delay!:grumble:

    oh my poor baby...he's sleeping now w/ Daddy so I can get something to eat although honestly I have no appetite....he's really sick....he kept grabbin' at me and pushing me away, and moaning...my kiddo doesn't moan...:ohwell: so I know he really feels horrible....I think its nausea....stupid Autism, I can deal w/ anything you throw at us but come on the child is sick and he can't tell me what it is...so not playing fair....:explode: ....thank God I'm used to it and can read him like a book....I pray I always can, or he can tell me more and more as he gets older.:heart: ............. he can speak, just not really conversational, like if I say if he gets hurt and I don't see him he'll come to me and say...ARE you okay?! and show me or he'll be holding what he hurt.....or sometimes if its not so bad, he'll say ....Its okay..., you can kiss it?!....things like that....he talks more but not when he's sick...when he's sick all bets are off....anyway....the main thing is I want him better! :ohwell:

    I hope its just a little bug and it will pass soon, but if its like this tomorrow I'll call the ped....I don't care if I seem like the neurotic mom......I'd rather be safe than sorry.....when he was 9 mths old he had a fever, his first...I freaked of course....it lasted overnight...so I made my hubby who w/ the nurses kept assuring me it was first time mom gitters all kids get sick and fevers....true I suppose...BUT we take him and he gets admitted for 10 days! he had a urinary infection and well that was because he had urinary reflux and that turned into two years of numerous urologist appts, meds everyday for 2 yrs...13 VCUG (not fun!!!), nuclear ex rays, and three surgeries...the last one was 5 hrs long....talk about freak out time! anyway....my point is....I'd rather be safe than sorry.....ya know! lol

    Thanks soooo much for all your prayers.....they helped him and me! I know I'm lucky he's healthy and happy and I'm truly blessed so I really hate to whine or complain and I'll blame it on nerves:wink: ...but I do appreciate you listening to my venting!!!....:flowerforyou:

    so okay I love you guys and again sorry to go on about this...I just get alittle freaked for so many reasons!
    NOW back to your funnies you sweet people!!! :happy: ....sorry to be a downer:ohwell:
    who is watching the pit? ......sigh....:noway: :ohwell:

    You are NOT a neurotic mother. Especially with a child that isn't able to communicate for himself. You are his voice. No one knows your son better than you do. So if you think he needs to see a doctor, that's exactly what he needs. And hopefully having a son with autism, your pediatrician is very compassionate and helpful. And don't feel like you have to explain yourself to anyone. This is YOUR child. He depends on YOU to make the right decisions for him. But please take care of yourself too for him and for us. We need you!!! Let us know how he does through the night.

    So sorry he is not feeling well. A nice bath and popcicle are a good treat for little ones when the aren't feeling well. Another idea for you to help his tummy is sweet basil tea. It works very well for upset tummies.

    Keep your head up and get some rest. Praying he feels better soon. I always worry when my kids get sick specially my boys.
