It all started when I heard the sv was going around. I have 2 sons 6yrs and 2 yrs. My oldest son was on spring break and was returning to school on Monday. Tuesday I kept him home cause I really wanted to advoid home catching it.( some people thought i was crazy but oh well) Wed he insisted in going so I didnt want to force my healthy child to stay home. Thurs morning he woke up with d, he stayed home.....my axiety was through the roof. All day i was call home to see how he was and there were no other symptoms he was fine. Thurs he woke up with d again. He said he felt fine and wanted to go to school. Fri afternoon my youngest son started with d.. and in the night v once.(at that point i was in panic mode) Luckly my husband is able to deal with these things. Saturday he woke up fine but still had d all day and today too. I am hoping I dont catch it.....and hoping that was the extend of the v for them. Im just so sick of worring about sv. My husband and kids get sick of me telling them to wash their hands. I know I am always under stress and axiety constantly and it cant be good for my overall health. One thing I did want to share is i heard a few weeks ago that grape juice(100%) prevents the sv (apparently it changes the PH balance and enables the v to multiply) My kids have been drinking it everyday for the last 3 weeks. I mean they still caught it but there symptoms were very mild. I think it helped. I heard other kids were v for 24hrs straight. With one child admitted with severe dehydratioin. Sorry for such a long post, Its nice to vent to people that actually understand.
