What do you send child to school if another has been sick?

[SugarSpike]

My DS was sick yesterday morning, and pretty much throughout the day, seemed ok in the afternoon and managed to eat some dinner but vomited that all up about 9pm....all over his bed,lovely.
Anyway my question is should I have still sent DD in to school today, DS is obviously off due to the 48hr rule...been fine all morning..typical. She hasn't shown any signs of getting ill, so I sent her in...now Im wondering whether I should have, just incase, and Im just wondering what the general rule is as this must be something that happens quite regularly.

if they are not sick send them in. she may not get it. f you keep her at home she will get it and drive you mad at the same time.

I only keep the one(s) that are actually sick home. If not been ill then I send them in. They don't always all become ill I've noticed, which is always a relief.

Hate hate sickness bugs and all the extra washing they create. Hope all is well soon.

Oh thanks, she's been fine all day, so fingers crossed she wont get it, DS also been fine but still have to keep him off till wednesday.
