Advice needed- family day out!!

[whoami24601]

It's DH's birthday next week. A lot of his family work shifts (NHS) and live quite far from each other so a few months ago we set a date to meet for lunch. It's very rare for them all to be together. In fact, in the 14 years we've been together, I don't think I've ever known them all to be in one place! As it's an hours drive we had also planned to stop at a play area first. The problem is that DS was sick in the night! He was fine going to bed, and is fine again this morning. My question is, as he's not actually ill, what would you do:
A) stick to original plan
B) forget the play area but still meet for lunch
C) drive DH and DD there but bring DS home then pick them up after (this would involve 4-5 hours driving altogether)

Help!

I would go but monitor the situation, if it was something he ate then he may be fine but I would suggest just lunch and not too rich, no creamy desserts. Have sick bags in the car. Sometimes you can be just sick for no reason, or something can just not agree with you but if he gets poorly then obviously change to plan b, drop off dh and perhaps find a quiet spot to park and listen to audio books in the car/go for walk away from people

Could dh not go with dd and drive?

Unless he has a temperature and is lethargic, there is nothing to say he shouldn't go. Take a couple of changes of clothes, plenty of wet wipes and something for him to be sick into, just in case. I'd keep him fairly quiet, no major running around, give plenty to drink, and no feeding of crap. I'm sure your day will be fine. Children get over stuff like that pretty quick.

DH doesn't drive (I know, I know!) or that would be plan B!

My gut says it's something he ate, but I can't think what. He seemed fine when I went to clean him up- laughing and generally being cheerful.

I really don't want to miss it and DD would be gutted if we don't go to the play area (it's one she's wanted to go to for ages!)

If he has got a bug, will lots of people who work in the nhs want to share it?!
Ds has had a bug for the last few days and I had to cancel attending a birthday lunch. He only vomited once but was v off colour.

That's what I worry about icelollycraving but he's not actually off colour. He is perfectly fine in himself. If he had a bug he'd be poorly wouldn't he?

I expect you are on your way by now, fingers crossed!

Yes we decided to come. He's happy as Larry! You'd never guess he was sick last night glad I didn't keep him home on the off chance. Thanks all for the advice!

Aw glad he’s ok

How selfish. To take a child who’s been sick (why if not an illness) out to spread it around to family and the general public. Have you warned them? I would be really pissed off. As an immunosuppressed person catching a bug could make me really ill.
