Hello Joannaleolydia,

Sorry to hear your precious little one is not feeling well.

Could you please clarify...So, your otherwise healthy 6mo old baby girl has a rash on her leg of an unknown source. She's admitted into the hospital and is started on antibiotics and drawn cultures? If so, I'm a little bit confused with the information you have shared and how it would relate to marrow issues. Do the doctors feel that her rash is related to a blood disorder? Might it be petichae???

A very young baby with diarrhea and vomiting is a concern because she could dehydrate rapidly and this could cause problems. Is your baby ingesting plenty of fluids? Is she able to hold it down? Besides the antibiotics, did the doctor give you anything else for the D&V? I hope so... if you think your child is not doing any better, I would take her back to at least get some intravenous hydration. Young children can get dehydrated very quickly. I would be worried about that.

As for the 5 Labs that came back (out of range??) I suppose. If the doctor is not worried, I wouldn't be worried either as these tests may vary especially when sick. I would be more concerned with your child's overall state and again, take her back soon to the doctors if you feel that she isn't getting any better or is getting worst.

Just my opinion...take care
