You sound as if you've got it covered. The worst stage was also the shortest, from memory. Their worst night produced 4 lots of bedding to wash! I remember that helpless feeling too, have an unMnetty hug (()). I hope she is soon over the worst.

My 2 dc, 5 & 8 both had it over the summer. It was pretty awful at the vomiting stage, but how quickly we forget as I am racking my brains trying to think of things that helped. Vic on their feet and chest seemed to help, if I remember anything else I will come back to you.

SaraStratton might have some tips, she's nc to santastrapon at the minute. Her dd had it over the summer.

I had it when I was 6 and remember it, was awful. Just having someone there to hold my hand, hold the bucket as I was sick helped. My parents took it in turns to sleep in my room as I'd wake choking and coughing which was scary.
