Well, since there's no 30th in the month of February, Norelle is 13 months today and she is ill. She was hit by the stomach flu bug and has been vomiting and purging for several days. The vomiting has then subsided but the purging persists. Then came along the fever. This week is a hectic week for me as I developed hives on Monday night and HY was in JB. So I was all alone with Norelle cleaning up her sick, changing bed sheets, her clothes and mine as well for the umpteenth times.
Right now, her fever has subsided (fingers crossed) and just hope that the purging will follow suit. It is so heart wrenching looking at her shrinking frame. She hardly eat anything besides medicines and gallons of ORS (oral rehydration salt). Thank goodness she is willing to drink.
I didn't take any of her picture on this day, the picture below was taken shortly before she fell ill.

i hope both yourself & Norelle have recovered. Bryan is now down with fever :(
The purging is going off almost completely but she is still a bit weak. Her weigh has dropped close to 2kg!! - even smaller now.
Poor Bryan. But I know he will be fine soon as he is a strong chap.
It is normal for the weight loss... Naomi was the same! She has been 10kg for the past 4 months... Sigh...
Hope you are her are all well now...
