    I would get it checked as it can take quite a lot of fluids to return hydration to normal levels, with N is took a couple of bags of hydrolyte, and she was at the point where she had no tears but her fontanelle wasn't sunken, HTH's

    Thinking of you both hun take care xxoo

    Ok. DH is taking her to the hospital (DS is tagging along even though we have told him how BORED he is going to be, he still wants to go).

    I get far too emotional bout things like this, and if she needs a drip or anything, I don't want to see them doing that to her. Seen it once before when she was 3 months old, and I just can't do it again.

    Mel, they would be more likely do an NGT if hydration is needed rather than IV, I know how horrible it is to see, seen it too many time myself so know exactly where you are coming from xxoo
