Rotavirus

We are pretty sure Eli has rotavirus. There is a vaccine for it, but it's not available here. We are on the 4th day of Eli's illness. Just when we think he is improving, he relapses. Fortunately, the vomiting has stopped and the fever, while still present, is lower than it was on Tuesday. Our biggest issue has been to keep him hydrated. He has refused to eat and we have struggled to get him to drink. He took a bit of milk today which is encouraging. It's hard to see Eli feeling so badly. He is usually constantly on the go and is very busy. For the past four days, he has hardly played and has mainly just wanted to be held by us. Eli has never been a cuddler, so we know he must be feeling bad.

Please continue to pray for him, that the fever would leave for good, the diarrhea would stop, and that he would be able to eat something.
