#PedialyteSingles to the rescue....

I had a sick little bear this weekend, and the it ran through the beginning of the School week.

 Though it's terrible to see my babies sick, it's something I am very used too.   All of my babies have been born prematurely, from 22-29 weeks premature, and have come with a full package of low immune system bumps in the road, so they get sick a lot. 

Having Pedialyte has literally been a lifesaver in our Family many times.  My babies have gotten severely dehydrated and hospitalized from different illnesses, and Pedialyte has been the only thing that they have been able to have for days at a time, to replenish their lost electrolytes. I am not trying to sound like a commercial, I am just sharing with you our Family's journeys and experiences with Pedialyte. 

As the years have passed, Pedialyte has not changed much in flavor, but the way we can buy it certainly has changed, and for the better.  They have gone from:
The full size bottle
singles bottles

Freeze pops
The ECO-Friendly Powder packets!!
And now the NEW Pedialyte Singles in Tetra Paks
This has been the best idea yet!
These singles have an 18 month shelf life and are small enough for little hands to grip all the way around!!

The flavors are Apple, Cherry, and Fruit Flavor! ;)

My baby spent these last few days in bed and with a bucket if you know what I mean, without giving you further descriptions, and as I have been doing for years, I only give my Children a brand that I trust, nothing less.

Now my baby is better, returning to school tomorrow and hopefully our Family will be back to normal this weekend...
This is how this California Family rolls! ;)

a quick catch-up...

I haven't blogged in here in a few days, reasons?
yes, I have them, lol...

here's my timeline so you have an idea of where I've been, lol:

  • Saturday.  We  went to an awesome event at the SEALIFE Aquarium, to which I still have not had the time and strength to finish my review :(
  • Sunday. Anthony (4 yr old) spent the day complaining that his tummy hurt only to start with stomach flu later that afternoon, non stop V&D poor baby :(
  • Monday. We had a presentation to go to, and Anthony felt good enough to go.  He had a V episode in the car, but did great and even ate at the event.  The rest of the afternoon he was just miserable.  Couldn't keep anything down. :(
  •  Tuesday. Anthony still had the stomach flu and I was in so much pain from my R.A I could hardly move
  • Wednesday. Izeah (6 yr old) woke up with a low grade fever and V, so I kept him home from school.  Ant was feeling better from the stomach flu, Izeah seemed to be trying to fight it, and I was in miserable pain from the R.A
  • Thursday. It hits the fan!!! I woke up with the stomach flu, Izeah went to school because his body managed to fight off the tummy flu ;) and Anthony was feeling great, a real chitter chatter ;)  I was feeling sooo crappy, stomach flu in full motion, and the pain from my R.A was at it's max.  Not a  good day.
  • Friday. Today was my baby's 10th Birthday, and Mommy was just a full mess.  She went to school, I had spent the previous night crying to hubby to take me to the doc, I know I sound like a wuss being that Anthony braved through his stomach flu episode like a champ, but I gave up, I couldn't stop visiting the porcelain god every hour, for 14 hours straight, 14 hrs straight.  I got a call from the school, asking me to pick up Lily, she was crying from a stomach ache.  Once she came home she told me she had been throwing up all day at school, boy will they get a horrible call on monday!!!!!!!!!  She spent the rest of the afternoon and night with the stomach flu.  Friday night, daddy surprised us all by bringing home a chocolate cake for Kiera, and he cooked a family steak dinner since it's her favorite.  
  •  On a good note, I think I lost about 5 pounds, lol


 I still feel yukky, I guess it's a migraine from being dehydrated, hopefully Lily will not keep that bug for too long

I hope you all have a great weekend ;)
