My 4 year old woke up at 3am and was getting deathly sick and I mean in about 6 hours probably v* around 20 times and had d* at the same time! I was HORRIFIED! But you know what? I did catch it but I never v* and neither did my husband. See getting a sv* isn't just about picking up a germ, it's about how many germs you ingest. My gastro doc taught me that. So one person may be deathly ill, while someone who is more cautious may only be nauseated for a couple of days. I will be praying for all of you and I pray it's passed and no one gets it. Just scub your hands thoroughly! My doc says, say the alphabet twice and that's how long it takes to properly wash hands. Also it's about friction to remove the germs so scub hard and fast( Remember you are washing the germs down the drain, not actually killing them) . As long as you are doing that then you should be just fine sweetie. We are always here. If you feel like you are about to freak out, NEVER worry about posting here! I hope I helped a little also. xoxo

Thank you so much!! Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts! I think the worst part about things like this is not knowing what exactly caused the person to get sick... If I knew for sure that she had food poisoning then I wouldn't be as anxious as I am... Also I thought you were only supposed to sing the alphabet once when washing your hands, thanks for the tip! I'll wash them extra good until this passes! Thank you so much for your kindness, it means a lot to me!
