A Few Hours Rest
December 26, 2006 – 12:30 pmAfter Little Guy finally fell asleep this morning and Daddy got up I was able to get a few hours myself. Little Guy hasn’t thrown up since about an hour before he fell asleep and he’s had some Rice Krispies and more Sierra Mist this morning.
We’ll go to the store and stock up on ingredients for the diet that is recommended for diarrhea.
The B.R.A.T. Diet:
B: Bananas
R: Rice
A: Applesauce
T: Toast (plain, no butter or jelly)
Mainly the diet is low fiber which is easier to digest. Saltines, cooked cereals, or cooked pasta can also be given.
Be sure to give lots of clear liquids to avoid dehydration.
Daddy did okay this morning giving the Little Guy Rice Krispies while I was asleep. Seems to be fairly within the parameters of the diet.
Little Guy’s held everything down to include this morning’s dose of Augmentin.

I sure hope Little Guy is feeling much better now. My youngest brother is named Guy after my grandfather and my grandmother always called him “little Guy.”

Thanks Laura Lee. He’s feeling better now. We’ve been barf free for almost 19 hours now, so my fingers are crossed that we are over the worst of it.
