Ugh. Yes please. Everyone in my family had one of those bugs, years ago. I don't remember much, except that a brave friend of my parents came by to help them take care of themselves and their four sick kids. Hope you'll be spared this experience.
Those probiotic capsules (Biofidus / acidophilus) are fantastic for warding off vomiting bugs in kids. Seriously. I swear by them, and I don't believe in any of that hippy-dippy shit. They come in powder form (from health shops) for youngsters. Get the highest count of bacteria you can find. (Ignore the enormous cost. It's a fraction of what you'd pay to not be up all night wading through vomit.)
I have some! I used to give them to Bug in his applesauce - definitely an idea for next time. Tatoe seems mainly immune to vomitous viruses. I have no idea why.

ReplyDeleteThe deities were merciful and only Bug threw up. Poor kiddo.
