    Default Need support, sv in house

    This is my first post here although I have frequented the public boards for some time. I need some support now. I have 2 children ages 1 & 2. My two year old woke up Sunday morning with v* about every 20 min for hours on end. My wonderful husband did most of his care except for once I had to help him. He was so bust assisting him I had no other choice to be in charge of laundry and clean up even though I was terrified. My husband had to work on Monday so I put on a brave face and cared for my 2 year old Monday with one v* and d*. The my one year old and my husband both got violently s* early tuesday morning leaving me alone with all of this. Tuesday and Wednesday were the worst days I've ever experienced. Now I have d*, major n* but luckily I have some anti-emetics on hand which have kept me from v* so far. I have anxiety that it's just my anxiety and that as soon as I stop my anti-emetics (don't want to use too many in case I need them later) that I will "really" get sv. I just feel so defeated from washing hands, bleaching, Lysol, etc that I dont know how it still spread. Does zofran and/or phenergan always work if you are careful? Feeling so defeated and alone, thanks for your support.

    Poor love... the thing with anti-emetics is you have to take them before your bowels go loco or in other words stop working correctly due to the inflammation in your intestines. It's hard to tell but I'll use my on testimony. I took them once before it got bad and as able to keep from getting sick. Another time I took them hen it was already bad. They lasted maybe ten minutes. I don't tend to fight it as much as some though. It's so hard to contain the stomach bug that washing hands is still always your best defense. Consider digestive enzymes too Hang tough baby!
