Update after I reached 20mths

Hi All,

I had turned 20 month.... time really flies.

I had just recovered from stomach flu. It was a bad experience for me, papa, mama and grandma.

1st sigh of stomach flu (on 13 Aug 07):-

I vomited out some gastric juice early morning around 4am+.. then followed by diarroea and mild fever.

They brought me to visit a GP and I was diagnosed with stomach flu. Eeeks.. I vomited at least 6 times and diarrhoea per day is about 4 times than the usual. I have no appetite to eat porridge or drink milk either although the GP said that mama can feed me with porridge. I only likes to drink water occasionally.


My parents feed me with medicine till I scared, so I don't even want to drink the ribena or glucolin that they made for me (Dr advised that I need to intake more fluid so that I won't be dehydrated). I also don't like the taste of the "freezer pop" that they bought from the clinic (there goes my papa's $$ :p).. because all the "colourful drink" reminds me of medicine.. which I take until scare. :(


Through out the 1 whole week when I gotten stomach flu, I stopped my intake of porridge, only drink minimal of milk, water and my mama feed me with porridge water for my lunch and dinner.

So, fever and vomitting stopped after day 2. But loose poo still appears from day 2 till day 7 or 8. (The poo consist of more water than solid poo, maybe because no solid intake and only fluid intake) There after, my poo still overflows but with more semi solid. (sorry ah, if you feel a bit disgusted that my mama keep on describing my poo.. is for her to take note only. hee)


My parents changed my bedsheets, diapers, wipe my buttock until they got phobia. They will be awaken by my "poo sound", then quickly they will jumped out from their bed and changed me. As for me, me too got phobia because after I vomitted, I will cry abit, then my papa and mama will console me.. asked me not to cry.. its ok to vomit as I was sick. When I poo, I will look at both my legs to see whether the poo leaks out a not, once leaks out.. I will freezed and will also cry abit, cos maybe I scared my parents will scold me... but I always got heard my papa and mama consoled me.. "its ok to poo, got poo better than no poo" :p.

Finally, my appetite and drinking pattern back to normal after about 2 weeks. Made my parents so happy. :)
