Jeezo Ems so sorry to hear that Nathan has been unwell. Have the hospital been able to identify what was wrong with the little soul. You must have been at your wits end. Glad to hear he is out of the hospital and hope he makes a speedy recovery.
Thanks to Vicky for my great new banner xxx

He had/has rotovirus.
Started with sickness and diaroea on Friday and over the weekend, come Monday, his soft spot was sunken, his eyes were sunken and he looked for want of a better description, like an alien. He'd lost a kg in weight since Thursday, which equated to 12% body weight, which they then worked out in turn was 8% dehydration apparently. Spent Monday in Intensive Care on an IV fluid drip, hooked up to monitors etc. Had the BP of a 5yr old. Came out of PHDU (Paeds High Dependency Unit) on Tuesday afternoon and remained on the drip until Thurs when he finally started having milk again. He's still not well, still has very runny nappies and if it carries on, we have to go drs and get some lacto free milk for him for a bit until his stomach lining recovers.
The docs said they were extremely worried about him and a little longer things could have been totally different.
Apparently, rotovirus can make an adult spend 7-10days constantly on the loo and feel like you've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, so how it must have made a 5 month old baby feel isn't bearable for me.
But he is on the mend now, which is the definite main thing.

Im So angry with my family. They know that the only program I watch downstairs wiht them is Lost and they know how much I love it and cant wait for the next episode and how Im obsessed with it!!!...................
I went downstairs with 5 mins to go before lost and ask 'What are you watching?' They were watching a film that still had 45 mins to go!!! They forgot it was a Sunday. Now I know this sounds selfish but that film was on again and could of not watched it so Im going to have to watch it tomorrow!!!! I already watch stuff on mondays, Lost is the only thing I watch on a sunday and I look forward to it for an entire week!!! I never watch T with them cos I dont like the stuff they watch and we constantly have football on with I hate with a passion.
I know this is very selfish of me but they get to watch plenty of their stuff on sky and all I ask is every sunday at 9 I can watch my program that I appear to obsess over!
-Rant over-
Just A Quick Post To Say Thanks To The Guys That Said Sorry For The Loss Of My Friend. And I'm Glad I Have So Many Great Friends Here. Ohh And One Last Thing I Shouldn't Be On Till Saturday Or Friday Night As I Need To Revise For An Exam On Friday.

Joe Mcelderry is gorgeous and amazing
Having a total stressful day and its only 2pm! I have to make my subjects choices for 6th year by Wednesday and i am having big problems.We have to take 5 subjects and then pick a back up one and i only know 4 subjects i want to take.Its not fair we have to take 5 as every other school in the area doesn't and they get free periods but we arn't allowed them even last years 6th year got them but they are stopping them as apparently you leanr how to unstudy during them! I really want to be a vet and always have and have took all the necessary subjects for highers etc but on the websites it says you have to take advance higher chemistry but i really don't want to as the teacher who does i have this year for higher and he doesn't even know my name and he is a hopless teacher and i know if i take it i will get really stressed but i don't want this to affect me getting into university and i don't know if it will or not.Sorry for the rant im just really worrying about all of this.
Awww being a vet sounds really good. Im sure there is a way round the teacher problem, he'll learn your name eventually and you could always get a tutor to help you, or buy extra books and stuff to help
Yeah i got a tutor and i think it has made such a difference she is really nice and she thinks its terrible about my teacher so she says we will prove to him if i get and A so fingers crossed.Im searching everywhere to find out if i need advance higher
Well thats great, and if you do need advance higher, maybe your tutor can always help?
Yeah hopefully she is coming tonight and i am going to ask her about it just worried a while ago she mentioned going to America so that better not be this/next year
