Only 6 more days 'til we open!

Post by Polly »

Can you believe it? It's amazing that this wonderful board has been created in less than 2 months! And we go public next Friday - July 15th!

I am thinking that we need an article on dehydration and electrolyte imbalance to go into the Newbie Forum. Does anyone want to take the lead on this? If not, I'll be glad to pull something together for everyone's review. Can someone please point me to that recent post where we discussed appropriate fluids for replacing water/salts? There were even some homemade recipes in that post. (For some reason, I am having trouble using the Search function properly).

Also, please suggest any other topics that you feel need to be addressed before we open.

Mars, how are things shaping up in the FAQs Forum. Do you need any help?

Ready or not, HERE WE COME!!!!

Love,

Polly

Hi Polly. I really don't know enough about hydration to be the resident expert. But here is the thread you are looking for: Hydration Question http://www.perskyfarms.com/phpBB2/viewt ... =hydration .

Love,
Carrie

Thanks, Carrie. Do you want to work together on it? I'll bet you'd do a great job! Anyone else interested?

Love,

Polly

I will probably have everything done that I feel comfortable with by Tuesday. I'll hollar then! I do know that there are a few I am having some trouble with.

Polly, I posted a few words on the "hydration question" in the post mentioned by Carrie. If you are interested.

Polly, I'll do some googling and see what I can find. I ran across this last year when my D was so bad:

"Are you overlooking oral rehydration therapy in childhood diarrhea? It's not just for use in developing countries." ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/quer ... query_hl=4 ).

The article might have good information for adults as well as children. I can't bring up the entire article buy maybe you can, Polly.

Love,
Carrie
