The last couple of days Sienna has had a fever and been vomitting. Poor girl. It really upset her and made her cry.
Rebecca took her to the doctor and he said it looks like she has a bug which is going around at the moment. He prescribed some Maxolon to stop the vomitting and said to keep up the Panadol and fluids.
I bought some Gatorade home.. berry flavour. She really likes it and it keeps her cool as well as keeping up her electrolytes (whatever that is).
They had a special. $1.98 ea or two for $3.00. So I got two.
She seems a bit better today. Not as hot and a bit more active too. She slept for a lot of yesterday. I guess the emotions were running hot as well with Blake leaving. She can probably pick up on that.
I’m off in a few minutes to Gamedude to see about getting another motherboard and power supply. UMart doesn’t have any in stock. The Disc Shop doesn’t seem to have any either. A pity cos Gamedude is way up in Springwood. Maybe in February I can go for a drive to Logan and return the faulty motherboard for another one.

You might want to water the gatorade down a lot I beleive. The additioanl electrolytes are useful for marathons, but overkill for mild dehydration, especially for a youngster. (Unless the doc specifically suggested Gatorade… I’m not a doctor)
You’d probably be better off getting the baby rehydration powder stuff from a chemist.

I got the nasty tummy bug going around just before we went away doc gave me maxalon as well and suggested blackcurrent cordial is the best way to keep hydrated
