DS2 had it Sunday night. DS1 started last night at 8.45 (so I missed Jaqueline Wilson) and has been sick at 45 minute intervals since. Unlike his younger brother though DS1 can't just be sick, he makes a right fuss. 3 lots of duvets, the carpet, 3 pairs of PJs etc all needing washed, because he got in such a flap that he missed the bucket. Eventually I put him in my bed, and we haven't slept, in between bouts of sickness he lept maning "oh I'm going to be sick again,oh I don't like it, I don't want to be sick again" over and over.
I'm shattered, he's lying awake in our bed, having been sick again 10 minutes ago, watching tv, I'm down here trying to keep my eyes open for getting DS2 ready for school.
It was my day off at work and I was supposed to be going in to make up the hours for Monday, but I think i'll be off!. What's the betting I get this in the next 48 hours

I'm with you here. DS has had this for 48 hours now, the D&V have stopped, but he's got a high temp now and just keeps falling asleep all the time. We're off to the docs in an hour. I am just waiting to catch it and for DD to come down with it too. I had to put DS back into pull ups last night which was a battle in itself, but after changing and washing 3 sets of bedding, pjs and pants yesterday I had to do something. It's the distress it causes them that's the worst!

He fell asleep , as did I (it was much needed) and hasn't been sick for ages, since at least 7am, but is complaining of a headache and just lying around on the sofa!
I actually feel very sick myself and have a headache
