Horrible night! So scared!

[sillygirl]

Sorry, this is probably going to be long . . .


So tonight was my sister's birthday. After work the whole family was going out to dinner. My husband got off work early so he could go to my grandma's old house (she moved already, but doesn't have to have her stuff out of the old place until Sunday) and pick up a TV she is giving us. The TV is really old and heavy, so I called my mom to ask if her boyfriend could meet my husband there to help him. She said that he was sleeping because he's been so sick all night and during the day, v*. This is about 4:30 - my husband dropped my daughter off at her house at 7:30 this morning so she has been there ALL DAY in the v* filled house and my mom never told me (and yes, my mom does know about my emet). She assurred me, though, that he was sick because he ate an entire bag of peanuts last night and it wasn't a sv or anything. So, then we all go out to dinner. We had to meet at my mom's, so there I was in the "sick" house.


We went to the restaurant and while we were waiting for our food, my mom wanted to hold my daughter. While she was holding her, my mom's boyfriend grabbed my daughter's hand. Then, Kayla got fussy, so she gave her back to me and Kayla proceeded to stick her hand - the one that the boyfriend touched - in my mouth!! I don't know how good he is about washing his hands! Who knows what was on there!


So nowI am worried about both my daughter and I getting it. On topofit all, she has to go back there tomorrow (my mombabysits on Thursdays and Fridays) because neither my husband or I have any vacation time left for the year. So, if by chance she escaped catching it today, she'll be exposed again on Friday. I just can't take this! I want to quit work right now so I can make sure my daughter is taken care of the way I want her to be. I know my mom doesn't wash her hands like I would like her to. But if I push it, she thinks it's just my emet talking.


I'm so scared! I don't want either one of us to get this. Do you think it really could be from the peanuts? Have you ever heard anyone getting sick off eating too many peanuts? He ate a little bit of dinner tonight and I think he kept it down okay. At least he did for an hour or so after we ate while we were still together talking.


Oh, and to top it all off, Sunday is my "anniversary." You all know how much we dread our anniversaries! I hate this time of year. I just want to sit here and cry. We are supposed to go help my husband's mom move on Saturday, but now I'm afraid one or both of us will be sick and we'll be an hour away from home.


Please help! I can't stop freaking out!

I'm so sorry you are going through this! I have heard of people v* from overindulgence all the time. Who knows, he could have had fp, or maybe it was the peanuts. Remember, non-emets are not as careful about what they eat, so it very well could have been something he ate.

Thanks daffodil. I guess there really isn't much I can do a tthe moment other than wait and see. My sister swears one day she ate too many peanuts and v*d alot. I really hope that's all it is. My mom shared a drink with him at dinner last night, so I guess if anyone gets it, it will probably be her first, then I can REALLY start panicking. On top of helping my husband's mom move this weekend, some friends of ours that live about an hour away (in the opposite direction of my husband's mom) want to get together this weekend. We havent seen them since Kayla was born, so I really want to go, but I don't want to be away from home all weekend, just in case. Maybe it will be good though, maybe I'll keep my mind off it if I'm busy.

I feel like Im in the same wait and see boat...but i remember my sister
v* and said it was because she ate too much peanut butter...and peanuts
are really hard to digest, and the oil it hard too...so maybe it could
have just been that? why would you want to eat a whole bago f peanuts?

No, I never really do eat many peanuts. I was sitting here thinking about why because I do like them, but I never let myself eat too many of them. Then I remembered being in second grade and a friend of mine v*d. I had my emet really bad then too and I remember someone telling me it was from eating too many peanuts. I think thats why I still don't eat many peanuts. I think it's kind of strange how the habit has stuck with me so long but I sor tof forgot the reasoning behind it. So, hopefully it really was the peanuts for my mom's boyfriend too!Edited by: sillygirl

Sorry you are going through this. Nuts do tend to sit very heavy on your stomach, so it is quite possible that that is the reason that he was sick. I hope you will all be fine.

[sheri-baby]

if it were an sv, i would think he wouldn't be okay to go out to dinner that night, and eat and everything.

Sillygirl,


Know what's funny?? I used to LOOOOVE peanuts! But for some reason, now, when I eat too many (not even a handful), I get icky-feeling! I don't know what it is, but jusging how i feel when I eat a small amount, I can totally see how eating a wholle bag make make someone sick. Hope this info helps

[rubysoho120]

Are you still nervous? I hope you and your daughter are safe and okay.
It really does seem like the peanuts made him sick. remember nonemets
dont concern themselves with getting sick, so it doesn't bother them to
do things like eat a whole bag of peanuts, or drinking so much that
they get sick, or even eating too much sugar and getting sick...too
much of anything isnt good, remember not even water.

I'm still nervous, but there's nothing I can do but wait and see. My husband got off work at noon and picked her up and got her out of there. I guess now we just cross our fingers and hope it was just the peanuts. At the moment I plan to continue with my plans of going to my MIL's and my friends' tomorrow. Hopefully we will all be well enough to have a good time.
