To Debbie.

Hi Debbie, I always check the board way too late and by time I'm ready to repsond back, my post is at the end of the page...LOL!

Anyway, My son had the roto-virus also. He got that at 8mos...It was absolutely terrifying! He wouldn't stop vommitting. Poor things...They really get it bad when they are so young.

I would just continue to be persistant in getting the liquids in him...And you obviously know what to look for as far as dehydration goes. Don't stress too much over it. It is a very slow process to get through but you'll make it...With every day he should start showing a slight bit of improvement from this point on.

The red bumps are probably the rash setting in, the rash is very common toward the middle-end of the virus.

Good luck.
