To send DD to school tomorrow?

[muminthecity]

DD is 5 and in reception.

She has had a stomach bug, was vomiting from Saturday night until the early hours of yesterday morning, not eating and had headache and bit of a fever. She has been fine all day today, though quite tired, but no headache/fever/vomiting whatsoever. She has started eating again but only very small amounts. I am debating whether or not to send her in to school tomorrow. Tomorrow morning will have been just over 48 hours since she last vomited and providing she has a good night's sleep tonight I can't really see any reason to keep her off. I just spoke to my sister who thinks I am evil for even thinking of sending her back as she thinks she'll be too exhausted and weak from lack of food.

What do you all think? Would you send her in or keep her home again?

I'd see how she is in the morning and take it from there

Tbh I would keep her off just to let her recuperate a bit.

You can't decide now. See what sort of a night she has.

Not until she has eaten a proper full meal and a good night's sleep imo.

Thanks for the replies. She had a little bit of scrambled egg and half a slice of toast for tea, which is nothing considering she usually has a huge appetite. She also seemed weaker and more tired toward bedtime. Think I'll give her an extra day off tomorrow.
