Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Michele, I'm glad to hear that Rowan is starting the road to recovery. We were all sick here over the holidays too, the three youngest much worse than the rest. High fever (under the arm readings of 104 - 105) that lasted SIX days, lots of runny noses and coughs, vomiting, headaches. What a sorry picture we were this Christmas. Now it seems to be a lingering cough and runny noses - and I have a feeling it's not leaving very soon . Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Michele, Dd started vomiting last night, and it went on, after every feeding for 18 hours. Fortunately she didn't stop nursing. Now she has diarrhea. Did Rowan go this route? Amy Lynnmother to 1-25-98 and 2-10-00Want great toys?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 He did in November or December with the Norwalk virus which is similar to flu. Once it was diarrhea he was fine :-) Michele Re: just a note from me Michele,I'm glad to hear that Rowan is starting the road to recovery.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 Yeah, she acts fine, but sometimes doesn't want to nurse because she knows she'll dirty her pants.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 Michele, I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a scare! There is nothing worse than seeing your baby sick. This winter is horrible for viruses. My whole family has been sick too for about 4 weeks now, we keep passing a virus back and forth and I am getting SO tired of it. The worst part is my baby caught it and he was only about 4 weeks when he got it, he's now almost 8. He has been coughing for weeks and he has so much mucous he was choking on it. Luckily he has been eating okay but I almost went to tthe hospital too the other night for a breathing treatment, he sounded so terrible. Anyway, just wanted to say I hope you all feel better soon and I can sure sympathize with how scary it is to have a sick little one! > >Reply-To: breastfeeding (AT) e >To: " Breastfeeding " breastfeeding (AT) e> >Subject: just a note from me >Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 13:56:35 -0700 > > >I have been really, really sick and I've felt really, really bad......
