Aarrgghh Sick Child!

Only my opinion, but I would not call it in. She is being sick so she has a bug and it should pass in 24 hrs, granddaughters and my wife was the same at different times but I kept clear of most of it....... there is not much you can do about it. Keep taking the precautions and if you catch it drink lots of water to keep hydrated and call it in ((hugs))

I would wait just a day and see how things settle, if you even begin to feel unwell then call in, but otherwise I think you’re doing all you can. 

Your team would (I’m sure) say, if in doubt and feeling unwell at all in these early stages then call in, they’d rather reassure than have to treat somebody unwell!

Thank you both. I always feel silly telling people, but I was diagnosed with Emetophobia not long before Cancer, and was having CBT to help. In some ways, having chemotherapy has helped, but in other ways it has made it worse (for instance, I am now worried being sick will mean being admitted to hospital but at the same time I am thinking that I would rather get sick and get it over and done with - something I would never have thought before lol)

Daughter is doing so well, she hasn't been sick since the times I mentioned and slept all night. Is now nibbling toast in bed and has had a shower. Says she feels a bit better but that her tummy is a bit off (could just be hungry!) so she will stay there most of today - if it is a bug, the last thing we want is the baby getting it as the rest of us stand no chance then haha

Hopefully it's just one of those things and the rest of us avoid - she quite often gets tummy ache but is never sick with it. 

I will def call it in if I start to feel off and run if everyone else around me starts 

Thanks Moomy and Mike 

Okay so the eldest has started but I haven't run just yet.... 4 days between them seems slightly longer than expected but hey ho! I'm blaming the fruit she shared with him sneakily, rather than my lack of cleaning - my hands agree with me! Still, I'd rather be in the middle of all of this excitement than the other option...!

Just wanted to comment for reference, for if other people were to come across this in a similar position in the future - the unit have advised that if I were to start to come down with it, then I need to ring straight away and I will have to go in (not sure how the 2 hour journey there would go though ... Eeek!) Also not to take anything, I had hoped an anti emetic would be okay (I know no Immodium!) but I guess not... :-(

Oh noooo, bless you!

really hope you stay clear.....

My non-biologist opinion would be that vomit isn't usually bacterial (?) and propbably cannot transfer anything dangerous to you. But your dr would know for sure.

Hey :-)

Yes, as tummy bugs are generally virus' not bacteria, I wasn't particularly bothered it would be dangerous as such - more of a set back and more weight loss too! I would have to be re admitted they said, and no one likes the thought of that!! 

Thank for responding :-)
