meegm - I hope your little man is okay, or on the improve, it's awful when they get sick. My DS has had a couple of doses of gastro, and it's not much fun. With the last bout, which was a couple of weeks ago, the hsp told us to give him 5ml of gastrolyte every 5 minutes, using a syringe. We just squirted it into his mouth, and after about 3 goes he decided it was quite tasty, so started looking for it. They gave us the blackcurrent flavour, and it went down quite a treat. Would your DH (or someone) be able to duck off to a chemist and get some for him - or something along those lines, there's a few things to choose from. THe gastrolytes etc have replacement electrolytes in them, which I think helps them to feel better faster, although sleep also does wonders.

And don't feel like you have to wait until morning to take him - if you feel like something's not right just go.
