CalicoKat Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 dh, dd 10, & ds 3 - major diarrhea, general nausea for 4+ days! ds 6 - vomitted twice Mom - extreme exhaustion, like passout on the couch and not hear a kid vomit kind of sleep. I think it 's all the same virus, right? We're all just handling it differently, right? 2 more kiddos are still well. Any hope they'll stay well?

Kathy in MD Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well, the true flu :001_smile: is a respiratory illness. I think you have a different type of bug. But my guess is that dh, dd 10, ds6 and ds 3 have the same bug. Mom's suffering from exhaustion trying to take care of everyone else. I predict that the 2 healthy ones will come down with it soon. Only after they recover will mom crash with the worst case in the family. And of course no one will be able to take care of her. :tongue_smilie: I suggest that mom immediately check herself into a rest home and let the others fend for themselves. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 No, what you are describing is not anything like influenza. But it does sound as though you all have the same virus and are just responding differently. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sounds like the Rotavirus , I hope everyone feels better soon. Get a case of Gatorade:) and get them to stay hydrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, mine had the delightful stomach bug of the season. The boys both vomited for 4-5 days. Bailey felt yucky, never vomited, for about 2 days. We grown-ups were fine. I'm with Kathy that you're exhausted from caring for four (now five??) ill people in your house. And that, as things get back to normal, you're likely to fall, from being run down during everyone else's illness. At least, that's generally how it works here. If I were you, I'd start sleeping in the car. The packed bag is NOT enough of a head start. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
