Also in your friend's defense, I should mention that teens and adults can tolerate dehydration better than can little babies. As a pediatrician I may be a overly sensitive to that issue. But I think even for adults the slow oral hydration technique is gaining favor. Anyway, I'm glad she's doing better. And if she gets worse again, have her seen by the doctor, don't try to deal with it over the phone--at that point it's gotten out of the "routine" category.
