Subject: RE: BS: £800 fine for low school attendance
David, forget this fucking stupid game you like to play and listen!! I've just turned the computer back on to come and tell you this, because it's worrying me.

"I realy do appreciate your concern. Apparently everyone in the world is expected to get the rotovirus before they are two years old! That is something that realy does concern me!"


Whoever told you that was talking rubbish. Yes, it's common, but it's not THAT common. Also, it can be really awful, and I mean mega AWFUL.
My son slipped into unconsciousness for near on two days when he had it. He was utterly and completely dehydrated. I have never seen a little soul go downhill so rapidly and so frighteningly.

IF things should start to get suddenly worse, then do not waste ANY time, do not take any crap from any GP who tries to fob you off, just get him to hospital FAST, because he'll need to be on a drip. They were deeply concerned about Josh, to the point where when I questioned if he'd get better, they just stared at me and looked awkward. That was it. From that moment on I didn't leave his side, other than to use the bathroom. I slept right next to him, held his hand 24/7, changed his bed hour after hour after hour with the sweet nurses who helped me as much as they could.

Rotovirus can be **very** serious, so *please* read this and remember, because my son was quite a bit older than your grandson, but still it layed him out for that length of time. Afterwards, he was extremely weak, taking well over a week to recover enough to leave hospital.

Forget everything else to do with this thread, and just make sure you keep a very close eye on him.
