Rotavirus!!!

Today we took Landyn to the Doctor's office because he is still a little sick. He had a bottle this morning and was a little sick afterwards... he's also sleeping a whole lot. Later today he started having some diarrhea, but just a little. His Doctor said that he has rotavirus. We're pretty sure this is what Tammy had late last week as well. Thankfully, Landyn has been inoculated against this virus so it's no where near as bad as it could be. Dr Hoyle told us that for young children this virus can put children in the hospital because they become so dehydrated. So lots of fluids for the baby, plus we had to switch his formula to soy based for the next day or so because his body is having a hard time digesting his regular milk based formula, hence the sick after bottle. I'll keep everyone posted, but he seems to be feeling better as of tonight, playing and whatnot, just a little more fussy and whiny than normal :) Till next time! Flip
