Anyone Else's Children Got The Current Sickness Bug?

16 replies

Fimbo · 03/02/2005 13:40

Ds was sick in his sleep last night and has been unable to keep anything down today. There is a sickness bug doing the rounds at dd's school. Anyone else have this at the moment and if so how long is it lasting for?

Yes my dd had it Sun night. Very tired Monday and I kept her off nursery on Tues too. Although she is back at school she is really off her food still. Currently lying on sofa with blanket wtaching cbbees

DS also has had slapped cheek syndrome this past week, so what a fun week

Hi Janey, My dd had slapped cheek last year, until then I had never even heard of it. Hope your two are feeling better soon. I have managed to get ds to drink some water, but all he wants to do is sleep or be held, which is not like him as he is normally very very active.

Fimbo, DD2, 6 months, had it last week,t then I caught it (wonderful way to shift those last few pregnancy pounds!!) It lasted about 18 hrs for her and 36 for me, but we were knackered afterwards.

Def doing the rounds among the adults here rather than the kids, though ds1 was sick the other night. Usually lasting 24-48hrs.

ds2 had this bug at the weekend. Lasted about 36 hours. Unfortunately he threw up all over anoraks sofa which was a bit to say the least.
Her ds is the same size as my ds2 so at least he had something to change into.

Am just waiting for ds1 to come down with it as half his school has been off this week.

Dd has been ill since Sunday night. She was only sick once but has been running a very high temperature - 103 and complaining of a sore tummy. Now asleep on the sofa

Furball · 03/02/2005 14:21

My ds had it a couple of weeks ago and kindly passed it on to me, but I had it from the opposite end. Dh had it this weekend.

Can you get it twice? or is that it till another one comes along?

coppertop · 03/02/2005 14:34

Ds2 (2) has this at the moment. He had 2 days where he had a runny nose which I assumed was just a cold. On Tuesday he had a temperature. Wednesday he seemed better apart from having one runny nappy. This morning he has been unable to keep anything down. The colour is starting to come back to his cheeks so I'm starting to feel hopeful that he'll be better soon.

mummylonglegs · 03/02/2005 14:45

Do you guys find that you always catch your kids tummy bugs or is it about 50/50 that you do? Dd, 2.4, hasn't had a tummy bug yet. I know, I'm very lucky, but it'll all end when she goes to nursery. I dread us both throwing up together...

logs · 09/02/2005 21:28

Snap coppertop. And now I feel like death warmed through...

kikidee · 09/02/2005 22:17

Snap here too. DS v.sick in bed on Friday night and v.poorly Saturday. Better from then on but he has still been sick at least once each day. Really thought we had it nailed today but bad diarrhoea (sp?) this morning and sick again this afternoon. Was beginning to worry as I thought he should have been over it by now so feel better that others are the same. Hope all better soon. My carpets are ruined!

blueteddy · 09/02/2005 22:22

Oh no! Not more sickness bugs!
I thought they had finally disappeared 4 a while!
My ds has had this flu bug that is sweeping the town where we live.

Slinky · 09/02/2005 22:26

DH went back to work today after having the 'flu bug thing.

DS1 started feeling ill on Saturday morning - high temperature, feeling dizzy. Was sick a little on Sat. night, then the "runs" on Sunday.

It took me 2 hours to get up on Sunday as everytime I moved, the room would spin and I would feel sick. Was sick during the afternoon.

DD2 had Monday and Tuesday off school as she has impetigo YET AGAIN

helsi · 09/02/2005 22:47
