 @eb31101f Very sorry to hear this, praying for you both.

If you don't have any on hand, it might be wise to have some ORS (Oral Re-hydration Solution) around for situations like this. I know at least for kids (small bodies, less time to react) it's really important to restore fluid and hydration. The reason kids get really sick from illness, besides fever, is dehydration from diarrhea.

My family's thoughts are with you guys.
