I was off work Friday and Monday with a case of shingles (after lots of time off this year with self isolation, COVID and shielding), went back to work on Tuesday, only for my 5 year old to come down with a projectile vomiting bug during the night. Lay on his bedroom floor all night, neither of us getting any sleep in between the vomiting, had to call in sick on Weds, no school for him.
Managed to arrange childcare for Thursday so I could go into work, he appeared to be absolutely fine, running around, ate ok. Got all his stuff ready to return to school today. Last night, I heard a massive bang and we had another case of projectile vomiting, this time in my bedroom as he'd come to get me, resulting in another night on his floor for me and another day off sick for both of us.
Please sickness gods, bless me with a vomit free night tonight, I beg of you 🙏🏼
