And don't go crying into your cup about this message

How about laughing my socks off?

I have no doubt that your lad was very poorly indeed. I have 5 kids and now 1 grandson. I have had my share of nasty disieses and life threatening situations.

Diabetes
Pnemonia
Bronchalitus
Asthma
Rotovirus
Depression
Stress

I could go on (and on and on) but I prefer not to make every thread about me. I prefer to listen to the advice of EXPERTS and, up to now, they have generaly done well by us. This latest incident was well controlled and did not develop into a serious case of dehydration because we followed the advice given.

Had I followed the advice of the greengrocer or the man who sells newspapers I am sure our poor little lad would have been a lot worse as well. Or maybe I should follow your advice?

You've seen rotovirus in its mild form

Judging by a few comments on the internet, never having seen me or my grandson and having no medical training at all you have diagnosed my grandson as having a 'mild form' of rotovirus? And you wonder why people shake their heads in disbelief?

Get a grip on reality before you do some serious damge to someone daft enough to believe you.

Dave.
