Today I had a call from Tania. She had been so ill that she had to go to the hospital for a while.
She has a stomach virus, very similar to the one that kept me in the hospital some years ago. The doctors then told me that it was very contagious but that only the babies and the very old could die of it because basically the worst was dehydration.
She felt so ill that she called one of her friends so that he could call an ambulance. But where she lives there´s only one ambulance so the friend took her to the hospital.
Today we talked and I gave her some of the advise that moms give. Chicken broth is a must. And nobody dies if they don´t eat for a couple of days. So it is better to be hungry than to be so ill that they have a terrible diarrhea.
She told me to message her everyday and that she will call me when she can. I hope that she´ll be healthy soon.

Thank you. From what she told me, it is a virus and there is nothing she can do. Antibiotics don´t work.

I’m sorry she is so sick. I hope she feels better very soon. We always worry about our kids, no matter how old they are.

It looks as if it is something like what I had some years ago. But she is younger and her defences are good. The most important thing is to stay hydrated.

@marguicha Yes, it is. Dehydration can hit hard and put you in the hospital, too.

Aww, I wish Tania a speedy recovery.
Your advice was very good, it's better to drink more and eat less. I believe the body makes us feel less hungry when we are sick for a reason, it usually knows what it needs.
