[melsy]

dd1 was the 1st victim 11:00 Thursday nght and didnt stop vomiting till 5am the next morning . Dh has just started at 8:00 . Im bricking it thinking dd2 6mths will be next or even me and gawforbid Im to go in the next few hours its gonna be hell.

Please tell me some of you managed to ecape it despite it surrouding you.

We stripped dd1's bed and linen ,washed everything and sprayed it all with dettol.

Well I escaped dh when he had Gastric flu and so did dd.

It is possible!
Now go and get something to eat you silly moo!

[beansprout]

Dh escaped it. I, alas, did not.

[Enid]

everyone has had it here

but dh and dd1 had it ridiculously mildly, they hardly noticed it

dd2 and dd3 and me all had it quite badly particularly dd2 poor love

[Flossam]

Oh its a horrible feeling isn't it? Fingers crossed for you and dd2 to survive!

[rachfran]

I escaped but DD and Dh were sturck down for nearly a week.
I have good immune system, think it's because I am teacher so defences have built up.

[melsy]

thank you [insert shaling nervous wreck emoticon].

whenever dd2 has posseted today , My stomachs lurched.

Enid did they just get tummy upset the mild ones , cos I had thatthis week.

dh thinks I wont as normally with anything like this Im the 1st to drop.

Im starving , but tooo anxious to eat.

make sure you all become manic hand washers. Have towels both each member of family and put out fresh ones daily. change teatowels daily.

Then wash your hands again!!

[melsy]

my hands are sore and dry for washing every time I touch any one or anything !!! Ive been spraying all my door handles and light switches lol.

[melsy]

ok all towells just changed again

crackers and apple moosh for dinner may be !!!

shame and dh had a lovely garlic seafood meal to make, damn , cant freezeit either , as it may have been frozen. damn damn.

[melsy]

I sitting down here all alone and anxious. Looks like sofas my bed tonight with poor dh boy upstairs, he wants to be left alone .

Thankfully hes not being sick every ten mins like dd1 was (my poor lo), more every hour.

[pinkchampagne]

I was the only one to escape a nasty stomach bug which sweeped out my entire family last year, despite me being the main vomit washer!
Just make sure you are very strict with your handwashing & carry on with the washing & spraying, and you stand a good chance of escaping the bug!

[melsy]

Well no sooner had I done my last post I went to find poor little teeny dd2 6mths covered in sick. My poor little mite. soo makeshift bed was made on her floor for her and me so I could continue my all night vigil. Every drop of water given came spewing out within minutes of her drinking it . We both slept fitfully between bouts of sick and crying.

Thankfully she stopped around 3am ish and so did dh, but then yours truly succumbed to the bug too. Although weirdly I am yet to be sick Ive had all the other symptoms. Extreme nausea, Aching bones , shaking, headache, gut ache all this and I still had to hold up dd2 to be sick, what a hellllll night all round. Dh let me stay in bed all day yesterday as I couldn't move (I've also pulled 2 all nighters up due to the girls having it). I still feel like death warmed up and hope tomorrow I will be back to normal Somehow !

At least dd2 got over it pretty quick ,but I still think she feels quite delicate. All she did was sleep all day on dh yesterday

May be all my mad spraying and cleaning paid off sort of !!!

Hate sicky bugs, they create so much washing too. I'm good with most things but sick is urrgh.

(I make up a little bed on the floor next to my side of the bed too for any little ones who are ill. They love that)

Hope you eveyone is well again soon.

[melsy]

Thank you all

Thank you tinygang for wishing us well soon. I agree vomiting ach, so much gunge. Still feel ropey , cant eat much. Dh thinks mines lingering as I stopped myself being sick (but I coudnt as dh was sick too and who was going hold up the baby).

Dd2's needs more fluids me thinks, but she seems in better spirits, although her cries more heartfelt IFYWIM.

friends at nursury I saw this morning , all said for them, its not if they all get it , its when .

[ScoobyDooooo]

I had it & dp,ds & dd escaped it, goodluck your gonna need it
