So i am babysitting my friends son tonight. They are taking lexy to the hospital , for the past 3 days she has been throwing up and had bad diarrhea she hasnt even kept the pedialyte down. SO i told them it would be best to bring her to the hospital , even if they went to the clinic theyd prob just send her to st hedwigs anyways since she is most likely dehyrdrated. I hope her poor babies ok Sad

, But it sounds alot like rotavirus, joseph had it at 8 mths of age so i told her just to go ahead and take her in so they are going right now at 9 at night to take her rather then waiting another night. When our kids were born they didnt have that rotavirus vaccine like they do now unofortunately.

its a stomach bug that most infants through to age 3 get, telltale sign is diarrhea then vomiting. My son had it at 8 mths old, he didnt keep a thign down so after the weekend it was 3 days i took him to the dr and they sent us to the hospital, they test there poop for the virus. it is highly contagious like super contagious, before we came home from the hospital my mom had to wash everything he had touched so he didnt get it again. Now my friend just dropped there son off, her husband said their daughters been sick since they went shopping and that was saturday! so its been 5 days of vomiting and diarhea! Im watching leland overnight for sure, i dont know im sure they will be in the hospital overnight at minimum.
