Well, you wouldn't believe it! After DD having gastro 2 weeks ago, then hurting her neck which resulted in another 2 days off school, she ended up with Gastro AGAIN late Monday night This is after I had it Friday, and had to call DH and ask him to come home from work (he has worked 2 days the last fornight, not including this week) as I couldn't go any longer than 20 minutes before needing to be sick again. THEN, DS came down with it over the weekend, and DH and I ended up having an arguement as to what to do with him. DH didn't want to take him to the local hospital, but wanted to drive 2 hours and go straight to the private hospital. I said we would be better off getting him assessed locally, and if need be they would get the chopper out to transfer us if he needed.
So in the end i called 13health, who told me to go to the hospital, so I called them, and they said to keep him home, what we were doing was fine, and to call them if he got worse during the night and they would unlock the doors to let us in. He was going red in the face while he was vomiting and kept throwing his head back as well. I ended up in tears watching him, and poor DH was just about the same i think. We managed to get him checked out by a Dr on Monday, who did a very thorough check up and said he was fine. DS stopped vomiting Sunday night, but then started up again early Monday morning. I've had about 12 hours sleep since saturday, and am so very tired. Finally have DS down for a nap, so am going to have my first shower since he chucked up all over me on Sunday.
Sorry for my lack of personals, I have been reading really quickly when I can. hello to all the new mummies joining us.
BW - I noticed another thread of yours about Samuel. Hope the Dr's appointment today is a helpful one for you all
