Comments on: Diarrhea and vomitting: damn those two! http://blogofrugrats.com/2008/12/02/diarrhea-and-vomitting-damn-those-two.htm Journeys of life through my little moppets' eyes Sun, 10 Apr 2011 21:34:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Mommy http://blogofrugrats.com/2008/12/02/diarrhea-and-vomitting-damn-those-two.htm/comment-page-1#comment-109 Mommy Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:41:37 +0000 http://blogofrugrats.com/?p=207#comment-109 Severe dehydration was exactly what happened to Eric. Part of me blamed myself, but I was also terrible angry at the doctors I referred to for not insisting that Eric gets treatment immediately. "Dehydration" seems like such a mild term compared to how horribly dangerous it can affect our kids. Severe dehydration was exactly what happened to Eric.

A few months ago when both of mine had chicken pox (back to back) they too were vomitting and having diarrhea for a few days. But over here, I was told of signs to watch (dehydration) before I need to send them to the emergency room and thankfully, none of them reach that stage. But it was scary too for me as it was also the first time that both of them had these symptoms and I was clueless as to what to expect. Let's hope none of them will ever go through what Eric went through then. I can imagine what it was like when your son had that serious case.
