But moving on...What a funny and interesting post. <br />But moving on from the ex, is your Daughter recovered? Hope so.<br />Couple of things I have personally learned in the past week.<br />Aaron and I BOTH started diarhoea on Tuesday and both recovered on Friday but we were VERY ill. When I called my sister in law who is a qualified paediatrician, I said he has now vomited, as much as it pains me, does that mean we need to go to the Doc, to which she said no, which REALLY surprised me. I said "but my Mum says that because the D has been going on for longer than 24/48 hours AND has now changed to the addition of vomiting, surely we should". She explained very patiently that it is normal for D to go on longer if it is due to a virus and NOT food. She said the Doc would suggest Dioralyte which we could get over the counter anyway (hubby did) and they MAY prescribe antibiotics which if not for the exact strain of virus (unlikely) would aggravate his/our diarhoea. So she said safest thing is look after him, and keep up his fluids, till we get better. We Googled it and on a reliable website found out about the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples and toast) and while he was sick that was all we allowed, and we both speedily recovered once I did that, and took him off his bottles (it was the rejection of a bottle that made him V).<br />THEN I saw her at the weekend and she was delighted to hear we'd recovered and she also informed me they have developed a vaccine for our type of viral diarhoea. We BOTH agreed we'd rather have 3 days of sickness than unnecessarily poison our systems with a vaccine. Don't get me wrong she is very conformist and agrees with them in the main, but thinks that is one too far.<br /><br />Back to your post. When I was 18 me and my hubby read the side effects of the "pill" and we were both so horrified we opted for condoms and have used them for over 2 decades. Side effects are important. It was nice that we made a joint decision even though it was and is my body.<br /><br />Liska xxNew Mum Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285584922202683960noreply@blogger.com
