ROTAVIRUS

The worst thing to happen to my baby! I dont know how, could be the gym daycare or the shopping carts but somehow mandy contracted it. It started last saturday she didnt look very good, it looked as though she was sick. her cheeks were all pink and her temp was 99.9 never got over that though. She was sleeping alot and didnt feel like eating her food. a few days before her nose was really runny and so i thought all of this was just her teething.

THEN the diarehha started Sunday. she had no fever slepped great saturday night and looked so much better but the runny stools... then monday it got worse. She has a yeast infection on top of it all I really have no clue how...

so here it is friday and my baby has a bad ear infection (the Dr. said that 2 days ago and today said it looked like it was getting better) her yeast cant go away while she is taking anitbiotics for her ear, and her butt looks bruised from all the acid in her stool. SO
I beg each and everyone of you who have infants to get them vaxed against the ROTAVIRUS there is a small window between 2 months and 9 months. I had no idea they even had a vax for it but my dr. told me today they did but once you get it you are immuned. So many will be safe from now on.. so get your babies vaxed so you dont have to go throught his terrible ordeal...

luckily i have been able to keep her hydrated she doesnt drool at all (she was a fountain before) but her mouth is still moist so we havnt had to hospitalize her ... and this thing lasts anywhere from 3-14 days. Pray for a speedy recovery and no more stinging on her bum!
