This week Adrian has been really ill. He got rotavirus again (like in 2012) and couldn’t even drink water for an entire day.

Dr. Internet suggested giving a teaspoonful of water every 5 minutes. Not even that worked. He got dehydrated, all grey in his face and limp and listless. He didn’t even have the energy to sit up in my lap, just sort of lay there… Had me really worried.

Both back in 2012 and now I told myself that if he gets no better by the morning, we’ll take him to the ER to get some fluids in him. But both times he got better at night, enough that he could start drinking again, and by morning he was looking and behaving like a normal child again.
