Stomach bug

[Dymphna]

I picked my kids up from school and one of them is complaining of not feeling well. He managed to not in my truck, but as soon as we got home, he did it in the driveway. He has since thrown up several times.

So I quizzed him about what he ate, when he started feeling bad, etc. and discovered that one of the kids in his class apparently got sick after school yesterday. This kid stayed home today, but several children in the class started feeling sick this afternoon, around the same time mine did....great, just what I need with 4 kids of my own is something contagious.

My son started last Wednesday, other son started shortly after. The next day my husband and I got it. It's terrible...I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Good luck and drink LOTS of fluids cause you're going to need them. Be prepared to not feel right for at least 3 or 4 days.

A friend of mine posted last night that her child was sick along with a few kids in her childs class. It's that time of year.... yuck yuck....

Hope he is feeling well soon. Hope the other children get through without it.

Well, he didn't throw up overnight. He's eaten one french toast stick and a little milk so far this morning and kept it down. But he's clearly not feeling well. He's laying on the couch and occasionally lets out a little groan. But he seems to be getting better.

Usually it's a 24-36 hour thing. Not too bad unless the brown river starts flowing.

In the past when I get that stomach bug, I was always told to force fluids and clear liquids.......soup broth, water.....Gator Ade helps also.....flushes the system and fights dehydration.....good luck.....hope things get better soon.....

Well so far it's only coming out one end, so he's not getting dehydrated. He specifically asked for milk and he NEVER drinks plain milk voluntarily, so I figured there must be a reason for the craving, so I went with it. He's definitely on the mend.

Kids had it Friday night, I had it Sunday night, my sister had it Sunday night. Everyone in the daycare has had it.

It was brutal!!!!
