Regardless, I'm loving having it in town. I already went and blew a huge chunk of money there. You have to come over soon and check out my new place.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16395116031363419118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350388806581742644.post-44289161063004874602007-08-07T12:35:00.000-07:002007-08-07T12:35:00.000-07:00UGH sorry!

I didn't know what to think at first because it totally flew in the face of everything I'd previously thought which is to make sure they stay hydrated- water, 7-Up, Gatorade, etc. But it makes sense and it seemed to work well. The BRAT diet is great for diarrhea too.<BR/><BR/>Kate, I'm so sorry she threw up again at night. I hope the morning has found your whole family healthy and on your way out of town.<BR/><BR/>Well, as I write Jack is laying on the couch watching Cars. He woke up this morning saying his tummy was hurting and a half hour later I saw him gag in his mouth. I ran and got our puke bowl and thought he looked a little pale. He hasn't thrown up yet, but I thought a morning of rest would probably be a good idea.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195153990661448428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350388806581742644.post-17058828355507800682007-08-06T00:08:00.000-07:002007-08-06T00:08:00.000-07:00Oh Kate!

And...I know this doesn't help after the fact but I thought I'd post it anyway. <BR/><BR/>This is the best sick kid advice I've ever gotten. (my mom got it from a nurse) When a child throws up, proceed as follows:<BR/><BR/>1. Do not give any fluids - not even a sip of water to wash their mouth out - for one hour.<BR/><BR/>2. If, after one hour, they have not thrown up again - give them 1 Tsp of water. Only 1!<BR/><BR/>3. If, after 15 minutes, they have not thrown up - give one more Tsp. Only 1!<BR/><BR/>4. Another 15 minutes - 1 more tsp.<BR/><BR/>5. Another 15 - 1 more tsp.<BR/><BR/>6. After this hour of 4 teaspoons - if they have not thrown up - begin the B.R.A.T. diet. (Bread, rice, apples, toast - only) for at least 24 hours. <BR/><BR/>I promise you - this has worked EVERY time for me. The goal is to make sure their stomach is not stimulated to convulse again - which will make them throw up, which will make them lose fluids, which will ultimately dehydrate them. <BR/><BR/>My mom even posted it on her refrigerator.<BR/><BR/>And I'm sorry, I'm the queen of long comments - but it is too helpful to not pass along. I try to tell every mom I know.Cutzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815741632369910907noreply@blogger.com
