It started with fever and an incredible vomiting episode on Wednesday morning (I now know what 'projectile vomiting' is), and has now progressed to the watery brown diarrhea stage.
We've had two trips to the doctors - the first doc just thought Oscar needed some paracetamol and a sponge bath - which Oscar absolutely hated. He screamed whenever the doctors or nurses touched him. On Wednesday he weighed 12.3 kg and today he weighs 11.99 kg. They tried to take his blood pressure. It was so cute their little velcro arm band. But Oscar struggled and screamed so much, no reading could be taken.
Anyhow, Oscar no longer has a tummy like this anymore. He's on a diet of biscuits, toast and rice cakes.
On the other hand, he's still quite himself, playing and exploring. Just not as active as usual, which - dare I say it? - actually makes a nice change.
A brighter note is that Oscar has suddenly become very keen on toothbrushing. I don't need to chase after him to get his gnashers brushed. He has a number of molars all coming through at the same time and the taste of the toothpaste and the feel of the bristles must come as some relief.

Hope the mighty OJ is feeling better. What do you think was the culprit food item?
