gastro update - 08:58 PM
(filed under 'smiley')
he's been taking in fluids as slowly as i can give them to him, mostly water, a little bit of lemonade with the bubbles knocked out, some weak ribena & a couple of boobie feeds, but has still been vomiting, although only a few times since this afternoon.
he still has no interest in anything solid, not even a slice of plain bread or a cracker, but i'm trusting that his body knows what it needs & doesn't need as far as that is concerned. besides, what could i do if he doesn't want it .. tie him to the ground & force feed it to him?
he's slept heaps more than usual & is asleep now. sleep is a good thing.
everything he & i have touched since early this morning smells vaguely of vomit. it's just as well i love him so much so that it doesn't bother me in a big way.
he perked up considerably this afternoon (as opposed to puking up which he was doing for most of the morning) after we picked up shroom from work. he was chattier & more active than i'd seen him all day, so hopefully that's a good sign he's beginning to recover.
Hope he gets better soon, such a nasty thing to have. I have had that and its not pleasant at all, it lasted for 3 days with me. Just keep giving him the water, even if it comes back up, a little of it may be absorbed into his little body.
