Poor boy suffered the same fate as his mother - vomitting and diarhoea. It started off with diarhoea in the morning just before his bath. Then after the morning milk, he threw up in bed and to VT's dismay, all over him as well. Up came bath #2. As the bed was then all wet and gross, we decided to take him to 1Utama instead. At least he fell asleep for almost 2 hours while we had lunch.
I called our paed and asked him whether I should take Bryan off milk - confirmed yes. Apparently, the virus is around as he has been seeing quite a number of children with the same symptoms. Many had to be admitted into the hospital for drips! Yipes!! I was so worried, especially after remember what happened to poor Ethan.
When he woke up, he had another round of diarhoea so we decided to head home. I fed him some plain porridge with Smecta but that came back up as soon as it went down. So it was like this the whole day - feed, throw up, clean-up, diarhoea, wash bum-bum.
Tonight, I gingerly fed him some porridge. How can he sustain without his milk? He took half of it and thankfully, this time it stayed down and no more runs. We tried to give him as much of the re-hydration salt solution as possible (even to the extent of mixing it with Ribena to disguise the taste) but he probably took only 5ozs the whole day in between sips of plain water.
I'm going to be praying very hard tonight that Bryan's tummy just got a wee bit upset and nothing more serious. In tota for today, he vomitted 4 times and had 5 runs!
P/S: Sorry, had to edit and add in that I woke up on Saturday and miraculously, am ok! Thanks for all the well wishes everyone :)

Poor boy. When a child is having diarrhea and vomitting, it's best to stay away from milk and dairy products for the time being but i know it's hard. What u can do is to dilute the milk and let him drink more fluids. Rice water or watery porridge (plain) is also very good. Hope Bryan gets well soon.
i hope he's better tonite. sometimes diarrhea can cause their butt red :(. doc got give lacto-bacteria? It's quite safe to give him some yakult/yoghurt to help him clear the system and give a stable tummy
Hope Bryan's feeling much better oredi. Really worrying looking at the amt of solid n fluid that he took, right?
poor Bryan. hope he is well now. it's hard not to feed milk eh. happened to ashley some time back and she didn't want milo or other drink :( had to cook noodles all day.
Oh Gosh, is Bryan all well already... The last time Chloe had it, she was on soy based milk for almost a month to clear the virus... In between we gave her banana & yakult.
Oh gosh, this is like deja vu. He'll get well soon, I promise... oh, and I know I still owe you that phone chat..
