So how long does this Norovirus last anyway?

My 13 y.o. son started with it lastnight.

Are all of us in the house doomed?

I've been washing my hands constantly, using clorox to clean up and during the big clean up lastnight, I wore a pair of latex gloves!

I DON'T WANT TO CATCH IT!!!

He is really sick.

Usually 2-3 days. My DD got it on our Wonder trip last January, and DH had it too. But even on the cruise ship (with the family quarantined) I never got it. Just keep washing those hands!

Well here at school we have called it the plague because it never goes away.

I have had it for 10 days now and it just keeps going.

It went through DS's babysitters household and then ours. Nothing we did stopped it. I'm sorry, you are doomed. But on the bright side we all felt better in 2 days, normal even.

Ack!

I'm trying to be really careful in what I'm eating today, incase I have to taste it coming back up later on tonight!

DD had it Sunday night, early Monday. DS had it last night and now.

The bad part is you were probably already exposed before he felt bad.

It's a good idea to eat things that won't make it worse. Also, make sure you keep yourself well hydrated. I got a stomach bug a few weeks ago, and I had let myself get dehydrated that day because I was out all day and just too busy to drink. When I started throwing up that night, I was absolutely miserable until I could finally keep water down.

My son came down with it on the 7th....late while sleeping (yuck!) and when my dd woke up she started throwing up. Our friends got it one by one........ dh and I didn't get it... we thought we were in "the clear" (I even said those words to my boss Monday) Then came yesterday. DH stayed home from work- I felt fine so I went to work... but was sick by 9:45 last night. We had been spraying everything with lysol.... I guess if you're gonna get it, you're gonna get it! Good luck Blondie!
