Well my daughter Sara (4 1\2 CAH) caught the belly bug my youngest daughter
Anna (1 1\2 non CAH) had a few days ago. Sara had about 10 episodes of vomiting
and I could’nt get her too keep anything down except her cortef. I am so glad she
kept that down, but I was worried about her getting dehydrated. I called the Endo
we had in NY (we moved and are waiting for a new Endo) to ask her what she thought
we should do. She said try to see if she will keep flat ginger ale down. We did’nt have
any so at 2:00 am my husband went to the store and got some ginger ale. The Endo said if she kept
throwing up we would have to go to the emergency room so they could give her fluids.
The first couple of times she drank it, back up it came. Finally she fell asleep and
it was morning. She stopped throwing up. Just like when Anna had the bug overnight and no more
throwing up. The day after she slept all day, she was up speratically no more then a 1\2 hour total
all day. Yesturday she was up more and drinking a little water hear and there and she ate some crackers.
Today she is awake more but still complains she is tired. She is still drinking here and there and
had some jelly sandwhich and 2 bites of hot dog. I have been trying to get her to eat and drink more
but she says no. Sorry for the long post but I am wondering what everyone else thinks? I know she is
fighting off this bug by sleeping but I am concerned. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Amber B.
