Well it's 2pm and I think we are on the mend, I hope!!

We've spent the entire day resting - me in our room with DD2 (who seems to be ok so far) and DH in the lounge with DD1. They slept most of the morning and have both had some crackers and something to drink since waking. They're both exhausted but seem to be doing better.

I've been able to sleep while DD2 has (so a few hours all up) and have been drinking Hydralyte since 5am and I really think that's helped a lot. I was terribly achey earlier but panadol helped with that. I'm still exhausted but the 'runs' have slowed down a lot and I don't feel nauseous any more. I think miraculously, I've been saved from the worst! One of my friends is an ED nurse so she's been giving me tips as well.

What a horrible thing to happen to a family though. It's plain cruel, isn't it! I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Thanks for all well wishes and advice, it's been so helpful and comforting Keep your fingers crossed for me that DD2 gets through this unscathed.
