My poor ds has just had massive puke for first time in his life-he is nearly 15 months.
Wondered if there is a current bug going round,anyone else on here got it?

No doubt I will get it next

Certainly going around Budapest!

cathyspamtaslittlehelper · 19/12/2005 21:31

certainly was going round south-west scotland last few weeks!!!

Rudolphthebluenosedteddy · 19/12/2005 21:33

It is doing the rounds BIG time!
My DS2 had the squits from last Thursday onwards & then both H & DS1 started throwing up within an hour of each other on Monday night!
My Mum came round to help for a few hours on Tuesday & was throwing up herself by 4pm that afternoon!
Now both my sister & BIL have it & my Dad had it last night!
It has closed 4 wards at a hospital near us!

It is a gastric flu type thing where we are, with fever symptoms etc.

Rudolphthebluenosedteddy · 19/12/2005 21:38

I live in Kent, BTW!

SE London (although we've missed it so far)

Yup - Winter Vomiting Virus is doing the rounds. Schools have been closed in the South West, and Midlands apparently. Symptoms last approx 3 days apparently.

Rudolphthebluenosedteddy · 19/12/2005 21:43

Last Thursday we had 13 staff absent with it! (I work in a school!)

I was in an A&E dept in West London last night and paediatric casualty was packed out with vomiting children. Never seen it quite like that before.

Fingers crossed that you won't get it. Keep washing your hands after dealing with the sick.
Hope your DS is soon feeling better.

Rudolphthebluenosedteddy · 20/12/2005 16:29

Glad to hear your DS is feeling better today, notasheep.
My sister phoned me last night & both her & my BIL have been really knocked for 6 with it.

Rudolphthebluenosedteddy · 21/12/2005 09:46

Well...just as I thought we had seen an end to the sickness in our house - DS2 went & threw up in his bed last night - 8 days after his brother!
Looks like we are not out of the woods for Christmas, after all!
