Child s* AGAIN

[Dxxr]

A few weeks ago I posted about my 2 year old v* for 6 days he's now v again it's 11:00pm he woke crying for ages then v* .. I can't take this shit were due to go on holiday for a week tomoro local then on Sunday were flying out to go on holiday I cannot deal with this seriously im praying it was his dinner that just gave him an upset tummy he had a big bowl of white rice no sauce ( he loves it that way not nutritious I know ) then he had a hobnob 30 mins before he fell asleep - his father snuck it to him! He's fell asleep but is moaning in his sleep fml

Another smallish v* from him he says he feels better now he's no fever and looks fine.. Both v was very thick and basically all rice he hasn't done the toilet today either im praying it's over and it was just a slight upset tummy I could actually cry right now

I am so sorry, friend. That is always so stressful and so much worse at night. Please keep us posted! We are here to support you. Kids v* for all sorts of reasons, which you know, and it's more common than not to never know for 100% what caused it because they bounce back so quickly and adults rarely catch anything from them. You're going to be ok! Hang in there!!!

Thank you and Yep it's one big nightmare he's lying on sofa with his dad now trying to fall asleep I went to bed to panic alone but I did clean up all his v and reassure him before I made my exit I think I'm panicking so bad because he was so bad a few weeks ago and can't bear it to be that again plus I don't want him to miss his holidays I actually want to cry at the thoughts of him not been able to go!
Hopefully he will get through the night with no more episodes he kept telling us his sore belly was gone but you can never tell with kids! Il know better by morning if it's the dreaded bug back again :/

How is your son now? Try not to worry, hopefully he will be fine for holidays. Last year my daughter (5 at the time) kept v'ing for a few nights in a row then be OK for a while then it would happen again. I almost had a nervous breakdown from all the worry!! I took her to the doctors several times and was told it was 'just a bug'! Maybe it was just his dinner?

[Syrup]

Yes, how are things? Thinking of you!

[Dxxr]

He didn't v* any more last night he was complaining of a sore belly all day today we still went on the holiday (here now ) it's only 2 hours from home so thought we would go for it as there was no more v during the night.. At about 7pm tonight he finally done the toilet he hadn't ate much during the day but after the toilet he seemed to spring back to life and said his sore belly was gone - he just couldn't tell the difference between feeling s* constipation and hunger so I'm presuming now it was down to his dinner lying on his stomach during the night that made him that s* I'm sure if it was a bug there would be more v* and probably d* aswel he's fast asleep now not a bother on him so I'm praying it's over .. I on the other hand am dosed up on anti s* tablets for stupid reasons and basically I can't get it out of my head that it might of been a bug and I might catch it! I can deal with him being s* surprisingly well when I'm at home and have nothing on but when you've to go on holiday and pamic attack your way through it it's an absolute nightmare

[Dxxr]

I spoke to soon he got s* again this morning!

[anna81]

Oh no. Does he suffer from constipation often? It could be that causing the s*.

[Dxxr]

Not really he ususlly goes once or twice a day .. He's been fine all day today after the v* this morning and back eating and everything aswel so I think he's over whatever it was now it's killing me not knowing what it was and if I'm going to catch it I can't bear the not knowing I just can't see a bug working like that tbh

I don't think it was anything that you need to worry about, that's the truth. Sounds like it was some random thing that you'll never know for 100% sure the cause. Kids have these random little v* things from time to time that get us so worked up and then they leave as quickly as they came never telling us what the heck set them off. Both of my kids did that as toddlers from time to time. We never caught anything and you won't either.

[Dxxr]

Thank u I think it's just the reassurance I need tbh .. My partner and my 11 year old stepdaughter have been feeding him off their plates sharing the same spoon drinking from the same bottle and stuff like that im like how can anyone do that seriously like! They are not a bit phased by it !! My stomach is killing me today gurgling and everything but I think it must be IBS because if anyone is going to catch it surely it would be them first :/ I just can't stop thinking about it my heads bursting

I know that this isn't going to be popular, but here's the TRUTH! We talk about v* so much on this board, all of the things to do to avoid it, assume that everyone who doesn't overreact are worthy of ridicule, and assume that every time someone says they have a stomach ache it's the end of the world when in fact the TRUTH is that MOST of the time when someone v*s it's NOT contagious! The vast majority of tu*s that occur are in young children and are of unknown cause. Plain and simple.

We were at the friend's house recently and there were about 15 children present. One of the little girls tu* in the bathroom. Her mother blew it off as nothing and let the girl return to playing with the other kids. No hand washing, nothing. She wiped up the v* with regular cleaner (not bleach). It turned out that the little girl really wasn't feeling well all day (she'd even had d* earlier - lovely!); after more stomach aches and complaining her parents finally took her home. I of course assumed EVERYONE was going to be sick in the next few days. It's been well over 48 hours and everyone, including the host who has 3 little ones under 5, and this little girls 2 siblings are all fine. So, what caused it? Who knows! I can tell you though that it certainly wasn't good hygiene that protected everyone because it wasn't practiced! It drives us nuts because we want to be in control, but we have to be rational when it's at all possible.

You really are going to be ok. xoxo

I used to be like that years ago if my partner or I were ill Id never even think of bleaching the house and would never spend anytime worrying about it I don't know what happened to me it's like over night I turned crazy I wish I could go back to being that way not a care in the world I just can't for some reason ive let this take over my life ruining everything for nothin

and for the first part I do agree with u coz deep down i know I'm over reacting big time but I just can't help myself at all lol
