Well the twins had their shots thursday. DD is fine but DS keeps getting worse. He is still running a high fever (101) and he refuses to eat or drink anything. He gaging and throwing up just miserable. But he will drink gatorade. My mom said that it is ok, but is it really ok to have him drink it through out the day? He has an appointment today.

I'd probably try water or pedialyte first, but if that's all he'll drink it's better than nothing. He needs stay hydrated.

I've tried water, he will only drink that when he wakes up. After that he won't touch it.

Gatorade & pedialyte are often reccomended by my doctor. Gatorade is cheaper too!!

you can make your own gatoraide, and avoid a lot of the chemicals in store bought.
