We've Been Hit

Well it looks like my family has been hit with the yucky stomach virus that has been going around. Caleb got sick twice at school today, so Chris had to come on his day off (Fair Day) to pick him up. I sure hope it doesn't last long and that Chris and I do not get it.

Yuck! I do hope that you and Chris don't get it. Not good.

Oh, I am so sorry! Stock up on the Gatorade! Coates recommends that over the Pedialyte yucky stuff.

Kimber and Ellie have been hit too! So sad. Yes, pray the adults don't get it as well. Good to know Amberly - I had never asked Coates about the Gatorade vs Pedialyte. Kimber does not take Ped anyway so I guess it does not matter! :)

Well, Coates recommends Gatorade when your child is vomiting or has severe diahrrea in order to keep them hydrated. When Samuel had rotavirus, there was nothing I could do but make sure he drank plenty of liquids. Gatorade has the same nutrients that Pedialtye gives you (something like electrolytes ??) & Coates said the kids drink it much easier! He said Pedialyte is really disgusting. So, you only need to give it to your kids when they are sick to keep them from getting dehydrated.
