I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old. I have been terrified of vomiting for as long as I can remember but it became an obsession after I had kids. Well, my 3 year old has the flu...the first time. When he gets sick, I clean it up and comfort him. It's the after part that is killing me. The worrying: when will he throw up again? where will he throw up? can I ask my mother-in-law to watch my 9 month old or should I suck it up because a mom should be able to handle it? why does this happen when my husband is attached to a tractor for the week?

He hasn't thrown up in 1.5 hours.
