Leave a week from today Kid is SICK

[mcgrawfan]

I am stressed out right now. Which happens easily. We leave one week from today and my DD (4) has been sick since Monday night. She has only thrown up 2 times and has been really sleepy. We thought she was better last night, but woke up this morn and after eating a little and drinking water that came right back up. My child is hardly ever sick. She got sick yesterday morn and again today. That is all. Our PA said to give her ONLY a liquid diet for today and start BRAT tomorrow. Now I have a sore throat and DH said he felt funky when he left for work.

I need some positive thoughts please!!

Atleast you've got a week! We leave Saturday. DD has been sick since Saturday. DH was home sick Monday and I'm home sick today. DD is still battling a cough/runny nose. And I'm preggo which means there's little to nothing I can take.

Lots of rest and lots of fluids in the mantra in this house right now!

Try zinc. I know that it's saved me for missing vacation. And it's natural so you won't have any side effects.

Everyone is sick right now...my kids and myself included. Unfortunately it is that time of year still! No one likes to be sick, but better a week before than a day before or worse...when you are on vacation! I hope it is out of everyone system before your trip

We were there in December and we all got that horrible stomach bug while at Disney and after we returned home.

Bring lots of hand gel sanitizers and wash, wash, wash those hands!

So sorry to hear that! By any chance have you taken her for a Strep test?? My DS ONLY gets sick (vomits) when he has strep. The nurses laugh at me because I always know exactly when he has it.

If it is strep, then they can start her on an antibiotic and she will feel better after 2-3 doses.

Sending hugs.

I was just going to post the same thing especially when the OP mentioned her throat felt funky. My dd would vomit for days when she had strep-never had a sore thraot though, lol

to you! I second the comment about getting a strep test done! Last month one of my 8 year olds woke up really sick, throwing up, lethargic, we took her to the pediatrician who gave her a strep test, it was confirmed and she received a penacillin shot. She felt alot better in 24 hours. Our pediatrician also recommended us bringing in our other 2 girls to get checked too (neither of whom was showing symptoms) and sure enough, strep was just starting for them too! I would have your daughter (and the rest of the family) checked. Best of luck and hope you feel better soon!

there is a lot of strep going around...I would take her in to get swabbed for it just in case. A week is great, take it easy and GET LOTS OF SLEEP so you don't get too run down. Have a GREAT time!!
