Update

[rivka]

Alex woke up hungry and thirsty this morning. She's drinking an adequate quantity of electrolyte solution from a cup. And she even ate, and kept down, a couple handfuls of Cheerios and a dry toasted bagel.

One of the amazing things about kids is how sick they can get, so quickly. Another one of the amazing things about kids is how quickly they can bounce back.

The fly in the ointment: now Michael seems to have it. Although his case is much milder - he's having no problem keeping fluids down today.

We'll get through this.

At least Michael can UNDERSTAND what he's going through. And, I hope, needs less direct intervention from you.

Thank god -- I'm so glad to hear she's better. Take care of yourself now and hope Michael gets better soon.

Way to go, Alex. Poor Michael. I hope you can manage not to catch it yourself, or that you can at least continue to fend it off until Michael's better.

Thanks. I am washing my hands OBSESSIVELY.

I am glad Alex is feeling better -- and sorry that Michael has come down with it. Still, as xiphias says, at least he can understand why he feels miserable.

I just let out a long breath when I read this. Thanks be.

My condolences to Michael. I guess it wasn't the ice cream.

I'm glad Alex is feeling better and said Michael is now sick. Here's to him getting sick and you _not_ catching it.

Well, the one good thing from all this is that you can aquit yourself for taking Alex to Carvel. I have never heard of food poisoning being transmitted this way, so the ice cream probably had nothing to do with it.

Oh, thanks be. I'm glad Alex is on the mend. At the same time, I'm sorry Michael is under the weather now. :( I hope you manage to escape unscathed.
