We are in the hospital tonight because my oldest daughter came back from her trip with a bad sunburn. Not only sunburn but she was vomitting and shaking. So we are in the emergency department right now.
The friends mom said she used a lot of sunblock but she doesnt look like she used any! So my poor baby is stuck in a hospital bed right now.
She was dehydrated. How is your night/morning going? Hopefully better than mine!

@Juliaacv Thank you she's feeling better now. Oh I know how sunburn goes and if she was with us she wouldn't have gone back out in the sun the next day after she got burnt. But I wasn't there.

@LovingMyBabies Even though she's just a little girl, now she will be the wiser, and that will be a big help to you too. I'm glad that she's feeling better.

Oh too much sun causes dehydration as it sucks out glucose from the body. Poor kid! I hope she feels better soon.

@miniam Thank you. No she was dehydrated from the sunburn being so bad. She was out in the sun too long though so I would have thought the friends mom would have kept her inside but she didn't.

@LovingMyBabies
Next time when she visits the friend, you should call to check on her and get her suncream to take with her.

Dehydration is a terrible thing it could kill.

Oh no!! I hope your little one gets to feeling better!! That is so scary when things like that happen to our little ones. Sunblock sometimes does not work on certain kids or you have to get certain kinds. Maybe if she has really sensitive skin it might have not worked on her. My youngest has sensitive skin and certain things do not work right or make her break out really bad.

@crazzydolphin Thank you, she is doing a little better now. She's been getting lots of water and rest for today.
It might not have worked on her because they all swear they used sunblock. My younger daughter didn't bur-just my oldest daughter did.

@LovingMyBabies Glad she is doing so much better! I am assuming that she is back home and healthy again? That may be true but still not saying they did the right thing since if she was that burnt and even if it wasnt working she shouldnt have been outside that long.

i didn't know severe sunburn can dehydrate and cause vomiting and shaking. i'm glad you took her immediately to the er so she's being treated now and hope she gets discharged soon.

@hereandthere Yup, I feel so bad for her. She loved the ice pop. Their trying to make sure she's going to keep something in her stomach. It was cherry flavored she said.

She probably had heat stroke since she was vomiting. Hope she is better now.

It is hard for kids to put sunscreen on the right way, and they need to be offered lots of fluids. She is pretty young and might not have realized she needed more fluids.

@GardenGerty Right, the mother with them should have been putting it on for them and making sure they weren't going to be burnt. But thank God she is feeling better now. =)
