Do any of you mom's or dad's worry about your kids getting the sv more than you worry about yourself getting it? I do, for two reasons-one, since I hate v* so much, it pains me to see the person I love more than anything doing it, and two, if I caught it I always think I'd be able to "beat" it. Maybe a fever, some n*, d*, but that's it. At least that is what has always happened in the past, except for one time a couple years ago, but I'll digress on that one. So the anxiety I have is about 20% fear I will catch it, and 80% they will. Does anyone else feel this way? I am super vigilant about hand washing, vitamins, etc. I even bought that stuff online that supposedly kills norwalk. My family, including my hubby, just automatically stick out their hands after an outing. They don't even gripe about it anymore. I guess part of it could be a control thing, like maybe I think I can control my bodily functions or something, and I'd sure like to be able to control theirs. It probably also has something to do with the fact that my seven year old has been hospitalized four times when he was younger for dehydration from the sv. Once from strep. He's older now and its been a long time since he's been that ill, but I still worry. Its scary when even a hospital and drugs can't stop the v*. That could have something to do with it. I just hate not being able to de-germ their hands all the time, but I know that's life. [img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img] Janna
