The stomach virus that made its rounds late last year is aparently going around again in the southeast and as before is hitting children the hardest as we have found out the hard way. Make sure that your kids wash their hands after playing with other kids or on playground equipment, take sanitizing wipes with you when shopping to wipe down the shopping cart, use the wipes on door handles in public places especialy bathroom door handles to.
The characteristics of this bug are as follows:
Day one moderate diahrea but no fever,
Day two, sudden fever spike up to 103 most likely to happen during the middle of the night and one or more bouts of vomiting, sleep will follow and the rest of the day child will be fine.
Day three, no fever but child will have one or more vomiting spells, child will most likely be active regardless but vomiting spells may come back.
Last November my daughter had this and it followed this to a T but was worse and she was vomiting alot more, she was hospitalized for two days due to dehydration and now she has the same bug again but to a much lesser degrea but there is still a possibility that she will have to be hospitalized again.
