URGENT! Serious AP need advice NOW

[Cesta]

Chris, I would flush him with hydration fluid for a few hours and then start dilute FV (3:1). He really needs some nutrition soon.

The Cephelexin isn't a good choice. Do you have Cipro or SMZ? I have some if you need it. I'll be home around 4:30.

I would not put this baby with your healthy boy. TOO soon.

OK, Ms Patty Cake

He's quite full of rehydration fluid and sleeping.

3 to 1 formula, small amounts, ~every 2-3 hours

Would a little UltraBoost help?

I have Cipro and SMZ but need dosing.

Weight: 57 grams

Thanks!

Can we consolidate this to one thread, preferably mine re: AP help needed? I don't want to miss anything important.

You guys are the best, you are ALWAYS here to help!! And talk me down from the ledge when I'm panicking!

I'm at work right now. Can Nancy dose the Cipro for you?

[Cesta]

He's still clicking, wheezing, and doing the guppy mouthed breathing. His breathing is just labored, period. His little sides are heaving every time he takes a breath.
I need to get a different AB on board quickly, I think.
He weighs 57 grams.

Thank you

Just got back on.
What abs do you have and what is the mg of them.

I'm going to start writing this up now for 250 mg. Cipro
just in case that's what you have.

[Nancy in New York]

I just sent you dosing for a 250 mg pill.
IF your pill is 500 mg. add 22 mLs of water to
it instead, and dose the amount I gave you in the pm.

I will now give you the daily dose as I only sent
you the "loading dose" number.

Do you have a humidifier, and does anyone
else think this may be useful to help this little one?

[HRT4SQRLS]

I have a nebulizer. I'll be home at 4:30. Leaving work now.

[Chickenlegs]

Nebulizer would be FABULOUS but I really do think vaporizers should be on the standard equipment list for anybody with babies.

[Cesta]

We live in SW FL, so I don't have a humidifier, lol

I do have a nebulizer as the kids and I have asthma. I'm not sure how to use it w/o meds. Just add water the way you'd normally add meds?
Put the mask in front of his face?

Thank you, great idea!!

Yup I will consolidate this one now. BUT these will go in according to the dates posted.

Done!
