Hi everyone

I have fallen so far behind that I am struggling to catch up with everyone's posts!

Well I too Ann had gastro and now fit all of my old clothes, plus stuff I haven't fit since I met Darren (4yrs)! My supply dwindled for a few days and Jake had some dry nappies but I gave him his sippy cup to play with most of the day and apart form tipping it all over himself he managed to drink quite a bit, I also gave him heaps of fruit to try and keep him hydrated. For myself I used the gastrolyte every hour and that seemed to work. Once I was able to keep my fluids in, even the gastrolyte was going straight thru me, I stocked up on the water and my supply was back in 24hrs.

Once I got over that, last Sunday I started eating again, Jake started throwing high temps and vomiting. Took him to Dr on Monday - just a virus nothing can do. By Wed night he was spiking at 39.7 was the highest I think on Thursday arvo and he was on panadol 4hrly, nurofen 6hrly, his demazin 6hrly and tepid baths everytime he spiked. When the drugs were working he was ok, not chatting or smiling tho, so we did that for 48hrs still no improvement so back to the doctor. He is now on antibiotics but within 12hrs of starting them we had our first real smile for the week - it's amazing how quickly they bounce back!

So today we are both healthy and DH has gone to work coming down with something - sore throat etc. AAArrrrrggghhh I am sick of this cycle!!! To top it all off he has been off his food, understandable, and this morning has a ash on his tummy, back and neck!

SO that is where we have been - I've been trying to catch up with people and just haven't had the energy or the opportunity!

Hope all are going well! Hopefully I am now back for good!
