Stuart got a call from the daycare about Connor today again.  Connor had 2 episode of watery stools in the morning and he had a rash on his chest.  The call was close to noontime when Connor was ready for his only nap of the day (he is being transitioning to one nap a day), but because of the illness, Stuart had to pick him up as soon as possible.  Poor Connor ended up trying to sleep whenever he could, during the drive home, at home for awhile, then again during the drive to the doctor appointment.  I met up with them before the doctor appointment.  The doctor thought that Connor had caught the GI bug that has been going around.  The rash was due to his sensitive skin reacting to the current illness.  She gave us advice how to prevent dehydration if the diarrhea continues. 

     Stuart gave Connor the BRAT diet this afternoon, and Connor was interested to eat.  He also drank adequate water to stay hydrated.  On the other hand, Connor was more whiny than usual which was tiring to handle.  He ended up having 2 more watery stools in the afternoon/evening.  Hopefully he will be better very soon.  Connor won’t be able to return to school until he has a solid poo, so Stuart and I have made a tentative plan for tomorrow.  Will keep our fingers crossed.
