Somers was a stoic but coudn't keep any ingested liquids in for more than a few minutes
Here is Somers (photo by Elsa) the evening after she spent most of the night at hospital on an intravenous drip to rehydrate after 48 hours of constant puking. Throughout it all she remained cheerful and didn't complain- definitely not like her father in that respect. It took another three days of vomiting and severe diarrhoea before she came right again, minus a few pounds. It's so easy to see how children in Third World countries who do not have access to hospitals and medical attention can so easily die from a stomach bug like this.
