My poor Hannah isnt well

[sparks19]

Poor Hannah.

She developed quite the case of Diarrhea yesterday. She has had about 5 messy diapers and it's basically the consistency of urine... keep in mind that she usually only poops every other day. so 5 times in less than 24 hours is A LOT.

her dry skin problem is also coming back with a vengence and this happened around the same time as the diarrhea.

She doesn't have a fever, is eating normally, and is pretty much her usual self. But I did call the Dr today just to check and see how long I should let this go on before she needs to be seen.

The dr said she may have picked up a wee bit of a stomach bug. But right now if she is eating fine, no fever and is not lethargic than I shouldn't worry too much. IF it doesn't get better by Friday then we have to take her in but if she develops a fever, stops eating, becomes lethargic or shows signs of dehydration then I am to call her right away.

So far hannah seems totally unaffected but at least now I have a timeline for when I should see some improvements.

Poor thing... I hope she gets better soon and I hope she gets out of this without diaper rash... she hasn't had DR yet *knock on wood* I'd like to keep that record going for her lol

Aaww bless her - have you given her something like diarolyte to replace some of the salts etc she will have lost?

Hope she feels better soon

No didn't even think about giving her anything.

Not sure I have heard of diarolyte. is it just a dropper or is it a drink?

Its like pedialite, once my daughter had that as an infant, a friends mother in law was watching her and boiled rice and gave her the rice water, not sure about it but my daughter did get better.

Thanks for the suggestion

You may want to check with your doctor since she is so young, I always found that my kids didn't like it anyway and wouldn't drink it. I think its just important to keep her hydrated.
