He was all blue, had to be intubated, and his apgar scores were horrible. Thankfully he made a quick comeback. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99483 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:12:16 +0000 Andrea 99483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The worst was before she was born and they told me she had too much fluid in her brain. Nothing else since has been as serious or scary for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99470 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:52:45 +0000 banana 99470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had several that I can think of but the biggest one was when my LO pooped SUPER BLACK poop at around 4 months. When I examined it, I saw red streaks. I researched online and of course I was sure he had stomach bleeding (note to self: don't always trust what the internet says!). So I panicked and called the emergency doctor's line at 2am. The nurse called me back and told me to go to the ER if she thought there was blood. I went in to the ER and they said he was fine (the black poop was just old poop and the red streaks were from a tiny hemmorhoid he had which ended up resolving on its own). I was a complete mess waiting in the emergency room while LO was being x-rayed and examined. I think I grew a couple of white hairs from that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99458 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:27:25 +0000 mamimami 99458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing toooo terrible, but once my babe was so sick his doctor thought he had typhoid. Like @volksgirl64 said, getting a pee sample from a baby is NOT EASY. (Poo too -- they never go when you want them to!!) I was going "pretend like I just opened your diaper! Pretend like you're lying on my side of the bed!"

She gave no indications that anything was wrong, but after she woke up from her nap she had a fever. We checked it and got to 104F before we drove to Pediatric Urgent Care. They checked it and it was 106.1F!! It took a while before we figured out what it was (it's HARD to get a urine sample from a baby!) and we were terrified, but she was ultimately fine.<br /> By far the worst scare we've ever had! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99417 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:39:29 +0000 chopsuey 99417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scary!!! LO crawled on the couch, turned around so she was sitting on the edge of the seat and fell forward on her face.<br /> Her teeth cut into her mouth.. :( I lost a year of my life cause I was so scared. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99413 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:36:49 +0000 BoogieBea 99413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby sitter took LO out for a walk in his stroller. On their way back, they heard the nearby hs marching band playing and wanted to catch it. She was walking swiftly, the stroller front wheel got caught on a crack and her and the stroller flipped over. LO hit his head on the pavement. She immediately called me and then we went to the ER. He turned out to be okay and lucky that it was his forehead that got the impact. He had a bruised head for a couple weeks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99404 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:24:20 +0000 heffalump 99404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So scary! Luckily we haven't had any of those yet. But now that she's grabbing everything and sticking it in her mouth, and also able to move around (even though she's not crawling, just scootching and rolling), it'll happen soon. Love that she's growing but hate the scary things that come with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-worst-health-scare-with-your-lo#post-99402 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:22:23 +0000 mrbee 99402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One time I left out a bottle of Excedrin b/c I thought Charlie couldn't get it open, and then he opened it... and swallowed a pill!</p> <p>Thankfully I was able to count the pills and figure out that he had only eaten one (it was a new bottle). Still, it was a terrifying time when I was on the phone with Poison Control!!</p> <p>What was your worst health scare with your LO? </p>
