I'm truly sorry to hear about your little one. It breaks my heart to hear a child has to go through this. What's even worse, is that your child is playing the strong card, I did this too until I was at the hospital and it was almost too late. I felt like I had to be strong for my family, to pick up the groceries, to do the housework, to act a bit "normal" and act like nothing is wrong. I would cover it up even though 5 hours later I was completely nauseous, and even after that I would hide my suffering in silence. I will admit, this isn't easy. I still wonder where I will be in 1 month, 3 months, 5 months, and sometimes maybe a year. What I am noticing is that I am improving throughout the weeks and months. When a month goes by, a symptom decreases and slowly is gone.
Here's the good news: He WILL recover.
Bad news: He needs to stop playing and take off the "I'm strong" mask. I had to do it, and it's hard. Cognitive rest, healthy diet and a strong support system is what he needs right now. He needs Mom and Dad.
Other bad news: Dizziness is a symptom I had for a very long time. A very long time, mostly would occur in the mornings for me, it was so bad I would get sick. If he has dizziness, he needs to stop and limit his activities.
I wish you and him all the best. No child should ever suffer through this.
