<p>Dehydration is pretty scary stuff. D had to go to the ER twice to get IV to keep her hydrated when she couldn’t keep anything down as a kid. I hadn’t realized how bad she was but the pediatrician took a look at her & insisted she go down & get an IV and/or stay overnight or come back the next day for another. She opted to go home.</p>
<p>Extremely low blood pressure is pretty scary stuff too. My blood pressure tends to be low when I’m healthy–my kids too. When we’re feeling poorly, it gets even lower. Today, I was 92/70 (yep, went to the doc & am now on abx).</p>
