When this thing went through all 4 of us at our house, I noticed the following:
- barfing lasts anywhere between 6 and 18 hours
- once that is done, you're still spending a lot of time on the toilet
- children seemed to be A-OK after 24 hours -- just a bit tired
- adults seemed to still feel gross and totally wiped out for at least another 2 days
- contagious ??? -- Absolutely !
I feel for you right now. My dd got it first, then 3 days later, the rest of us got it all at the same time. My poor dd (who is 6 years old) spent the evening letting us know when her little brother needed our help, taking temperatures, getting flat gingerale for us, etc. She was quite the little nurse
Good luck !
