Advice nurse wanted her taken in due to possibility of concussion. No concussion but fractured eye socket, no treatment. Can still feel the bump several months later. Lo2 - 5 months old, no ER so far oliviaoblivia on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2617606 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 07:52:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2617606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Once for my second. She turned blue and was shaking. Turns out she had terrible chills and by the time we were in the ER (2 minutes away) she had a 105° fever. She was 12 months. That was my hardest day as a mom. DD3 was six days old and I was recovering from my c-section and couldn't carry either of them. Thankfully in almost four years that's been our only visit. BSB on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2617538 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:53:49 +0000 BSB 2617538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes but we went to urgent care first for wheezing after calling the nurses line and they suggested we take them to UC. DD was in respiratory distress (rapid respiratory rate) and rushed by ambulance to the hospital. That hospital had a pediatrics department but she needed a PICU so she was transferred to the Children's hospital. They both had RSV at 4 months old but only she needed to be hospitalized for 5 days. After being released, she was wheezing again so I took her back to pediatric UC. DS was wheezing while she was in the hospital and I took him to the hospital. Skipped UC because UC was closed. He was treated at that hospital and released. He didn't need to be transferred to the Children's hospital. littleblessings on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2617534 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 23:37:00 +0000 littleblessings 2617534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Many many times. Mostly for extreme fevers and lack of holding down Tylenol. Their fevers always spike really bad at night so no clinics or offices are open. If it's above 103 I take them in Mrs. Train on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2617523 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 22:26:03 +0000 Mrs. Train 2617523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My oldest son feel through a hole in a netted trampoline and needed staples in his head. Then one of my twins had bronchitis and couldn't catch his breath. He ended up getting a breathing treatment. yellowbird on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2617414 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 18:00:23 +0000 yellowbird 2617414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, both. Dd had a 104 fever at 5 months old. I fell while carrying ds down the stairs and dropped him when he was around 7 months. He hit his head and I wanted to make sure he was okay. Probably not necessary but I was scared.

It was like a straight, clean, 1cm long cut but seemed deep so I took her in....they glued it closed!

Woolly Mammoth on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616839 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 17:28:49 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2616839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At seven weeks we took LO to the ER because he had a fever. He was fine (some kind of virus) but had to be hospitalized for observation because he was so young. At seven months (the day he learned to crawl), he crawled off the bed and landed on his head, so we took him again. He was fine, and they just sent us home with a list of symptoms to look for. He turns three tomorrow and we haven't been back (knock on wood). MrsRcCar on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616801 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 16:14:03 +0000 MrsRcCar 2616801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ N has been more times then I care to admit. 😳 His first ER trip was after he turned 2 and got his finger caught in a piece of machinery. (He ended up needing surgery to repair the injury) The next time was less then 72 hours later he split near his eye open on the hearth at home. A few more times since then for allergic reaction/celiac reactions/ or fevers. E has been twice. The first time he fell and hit his ear (getting a huge hematoma with swelling). The second time he and his brother were playing and hit his head on a corner resulting in staples.

My dd was spitting up green when she was a few months old. Luckily it was nothing, but I'm still glad we went! lilteacherbee on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616787 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 15:48:38 +0000 lilteacherbee 2616787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO1 went at 15 months when he fell and needed stitches on his forehead.

The second time ended up being croup but the nurse advice line said it sounded like whooping cough- I was annoyed she made it sound so urgent and I could have waited an hour and gone to urgent care. sandy on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616739 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 14:38:06 +0000 sandy 2616739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ To the ER once for severe croup - she had really bad stridor so she got steroid shots and the breathing treatment. She was almost admitted to the hospital but fortunately she responded well after a few hours of observation We have gone to urgent care several times when the ped office is closed. The only notable one was when she broke her collarbone - very minor and we just noticed she would cry when we picked her up under her arms Foodnerd81 on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616654 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 13:30:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2616654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, I've only been close once. A couple months ago she woke up with a fever that just kept getting higher despite Advil and Tylenol. She wasn't listless, just tired, so I had an appt for her at the pediatrician for later in the morning, but at one point I took her temp and it was hovering between 105-106. At that point I called the ped and was like, can I just bring her NOW? We live way closer to the pediatrician than the er so went there and by the time we got there ten minutes later it was down to 103-104. Other than that we have been very lucky to not have anything serious.

Playground injury, arm got tweaked backwards on the slide. Got multiple xrays and ended up with a sling and splint no fractures. Wore that for 2 days and was all better. yin on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616629 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 13:05:24 +0000 yin 2616629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've been to the hospital for anaphylaxis and a really bad allergic reaction (swelling that could go down with steroids and still lasted for days). littlebug on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616621 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 12:58:30 +0000 littlebug 2616621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2x, both for D. Once when he was 5 months old he fell off the glider footrest onto the hardwood floor, right smack on his head. I was a wreck. He was giggling 30 seconds after it happened. The second time was right around 2, he was sick and not eating and needed a bag of IV fluids for dehydration. skipra on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616609 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 12:46:35 +0000 skipra 2616609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not for my LO's but one time LO1 had to come with me! We did have a couple close calls though luckily the doctor's office was open both times and we were able to go there instead. Once for LO1 falling off a chair and whacking his head on a windowsill. I thought he had a concussion. The other time LO2 fell down the stairs and couldn't stand on his leg. Thankfully it turned out to be nothing serious both times!

In my defense, my brother (4 years older) was doing it to be funny (they were hanging out like tusks or something), so I did it. I just shoved it up too far lol We've taken DS2 to the ER once. He took a tumble and bumped his head and I freaked out. He was fine. They didn't even do anything really. AngelicOne on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616603 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 12:38:20 +0000 AngelicOne 2616603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, back in July when my DS decided to grab the head of DH's razor, cut his finger & it was still bleeding an hr later. We was on vacation at the time...so much fun. :sad: Mrs. Sunshine on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616593 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 12:27:47 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2616593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just once for my youngest. A few weeks ago on a Friday evening she started running fever. I knew it was an ear infection. But by Saturday afternoon her fever was continuously rising even on reducer so we had to take her in. It was an ear infection and we got the fever down. Rocker2014 on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616589 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 12:21:57 +0000 Rocker2014 2616589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've had 2 ER visits. Once at 6 months old when LO screamed for HOURS and could not be comforted. This was really out of character and the on call nurse suggested we bring her. Of course, she fell asleep on the ride to the ER at midnight, and woke up happy as a clam when they started doing tests on her - all of which were negative. The second time, she had bronchitis just after turning 1 and she was admitted for a few days. @irene: We also had an experience with nursemaid's elbow, but I called her pediatrician's office first (happened at 10am) and they had me bring her right in - my LO was pretty inconsolable and I didn't know what was going on so I'm glad they were able to take her immediately. Our pediatrician taught me how to pop it back into place at our next well visit, though I'm hoping to never have to do it! erinbaderin on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616560 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 11:33:45 +0000 erinbaderin 2616560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes - just after B turned one he had a really high fever (105) that caused a seizure. My husband was home alone with him, I was a few minutes away coming home from my third day back at work. We actually called 911, an ambulance came and everything, because while I knew it wasn't uncommon it was so scary and he was so little and after it was over he was totally limp and out of it. He was fine, though, and it's never happened again.

She woke up with a nearly 104F fever and was delirious. Turns out she had a raging ear infection. lamariniere on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616545 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 11:15:45 +0000 lamariniere 2616545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son has been twice. Once for a broken leg (happened at daycare), the other time for tonsillitis (on a Sunday).

DS had a really high fever when he had RSV at 4 months (103), but the pedi said to expect it to reach up to 106! He said if it got to that or higher, then to take him to a Children's ER. Thankfully, it never approached 106! Hoping to stay away from the kiddie ER as long as possible. *fingers crossed* T-Mom on "Have you taken your LO to the ER?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-your-lo-to-the-er#post-2616524 Tue, 06 Sep 2016 10:46:00 +0000 T-Mom 2616524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DD also used to stuff things up her nose. Small pebbles, pieces of string... thankfully we never had to go to ER, they all came out. I had to take her to the ER when she slipped wearing ballet tights and bumped the back of her head and threw up.
