VeryBlessedMom

My 13 month old DD generously shared her first illness with mom. Threw up 6 times between 6 and 8p last night. Feeling a bit better. Thankful Grandma could take little G for the morning! Kept down 20 oz water so far. I could only imagine how this affected a 1 yr old..poor girl:(

Ugh! I had it too last weekend. Threw up 10x for 12 hours. I still don't feel great and it's been five days. I also developed a lovely, itchy rash all over that the dr. thinks is related to the virus. I lost 4 lbs in one day (all water). I was worried about the babies. Rest and drink water and ginger ale (the sugar will do you good) but drink slowly until you feel a little better. DH and DD had it a week before me, so I thought I was in the clear but then got it the worst! I feel for you. Sleep as much as you can momma and rehydrate. Sorry you are sick !

Poor babies! (all of you!)

 Can you keep down watered down Gatorade or chicken broth? Hope you feel better soon!

Doing water 1-2 oz at a time with G's leftover pedialyte:) tried 1/2 Bowl cereal earlier and part of nutrigrain bar. Want to go get my little girl! !

I had this in November and had to get iv fluids and electrolytes in my OBs office - I got it about 3 days after DD had spent the day throwing up on me. It's so rough. glad you have some backup (and that you've kept some fluid down. Hang in there.
