hope you don't mind a little nurse advice--several years in pediatrics. Have you heard of the BRAT diet? Bananas, rice, applesauce, toast. Yes, the apple juice is probably giving him diarrhea. Go to the brat diet, maybe some gatorade watered down a little(you can even make gatorade popsicles).
yes, there's definitely a GI virus going around. But he shouldn't be sick for a month, that's for sure. Kids do tend to get sick more at night, just because of circadian rhythms. Once he's doing okay with the brat diet, move on to noodles (chicken noodle soup is always good), chicken (not fried--boiled or roasted is good, tho, maybe one of those rotisserie chickens), potatoes if he'll eat them not fried. You might try giving him one antacid tablet before going to bed (tums, rolaids, or generic--they taste pretty good these days) and see if that helps.
Nothing more exhausting than a child vomiting in bed several nights in a row! So there's some pediatric nurse advice, along with some prayers for his recovery and your peace of mind.
