Please pray for Mary and for the mommy and daddy here? She went a day and a half without vomiting, then vomited again tonight. We're worried about her and so very frustrated. We gave her only bland foods, and in small amounts, 24 hours after the last vomiting. We followed all the advice.
The ER doctor, whom I called for further advice, warned that it could last 5 to 7 days. I told her Mary now has a fear of vomiting, and she said to avoid pushing her to eat. Just push fluids, I'm told. When she feels well enough to truly eat, she'll ask for food, regardless of her fears.
How thin will she be, then, after 5 to 7 days? I'm worried for her, and for her tiny little sister, who can't afford to lose an ounce. No one else has it yet, but Beth got a hold of a cup today that Mary had used. God, please intervene here?
Please pray that Mary drinks the fluids offered her, and that God takes away her fear of vomiting? And that little sister won't get it? Thank you, friends.
Correction from the other day: Stomach viruses spread feces-hand-to-mouth and also through saliva. I neglected to mention the saliva, but I'm sure you already knew that info.. Someone asked about apple juice. Here is an article that discusses juices:

Dear Christine,
Praying for healing for little Mary and for the rest of your family to remain healthy.
Thank you for the prayers, Lisa. We so appreciate them.
Thanks for the link Christine. I have also made the pedialyte mix with the white grape juice as well. My thought was that if/when it did come back up that it would not be as scary a color to the kids as a red liquid would be. I think that either juice works well in this combination because they are diluted. Sorry to hear that your little Mary is still so ill. Praying for all of you!
