Hang in there, dad. She's going to feel much better much sooner now. Kids are so tough. She'll be up and running soon!

I wish you and your family the best bro! Only thing I can relate too is the sleepless nights and sick child.Originally posted by blm View PostMentally, physically, and emotionally.
My aunt (who I am very close to) has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. She us only 46 and has led a healthy lifestyle.
On top of coping with that, my daughter has the flu; fever, vomiting, screaming in discomfort. My wife and I haven't slept more that an hour in the last 40 hours.
Feeling pretty helpless right now.

I know it's tough to watch your baby go through pain, but she will be right back to her old self in no time!

Thanks for the support. Just left the hospital to come back to the house to grab some things. She is doing much better, but still having a hard time holding down fluids. And she still won't eat anything. Her throat is so raw from vomiting profusely and not drinking anything. Praise modern medicine for iv hydration and antibiotics. Probably at least another 1-2 days in the hospital.

Turns out it is not the flu. It is the rotavirus. Highly contagious type of gastrointestinal virus with horrible effects.
Both my wife and I have it. It's incredibly painful and no matter how dry and bland you eat it comes out (within minutes) as straight fecal water.
Madison came home today because her blood sugar and electrolyte levels have become stable and she stopped vomiting.
Now its a matter of keeping her hydrated while changing about 5 ass water diapers an hour while running back and forth to the toilet as well.
The virus can last up to 2 weeks!
