So my opinion is biased, but I'd at minimum let them know and move to Sunday. Pending your DD the next day or two, I might cancel altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068299 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 10:14:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2068299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let everyone know AND move it to Sunday!</p> <p>DD caught a stomach bug but was fine 24 hours later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068293 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 10:10:45 +0000 littlejoy 2068293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO needs to be completely vomit free for 24 hours. I would tell your family today so they can make their own choice. My LO got a fever the night before her first birthday. I was so sad for her, and really bummed we had to cancel her party. I'm glad we did, because it ended up being the flu and we all got it. :( Sorry you're going through this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068280 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 10:04:30 +0000 psw27 2068280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait and see but I would call and tell them as well. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068101 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:41:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2068101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessibear: I wouldn't cancel it BUT I'd give them a heads up so they can make their own decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068097 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:37:29 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2068097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we were the guests at a party where the birthday boy had thrown up earlier that week. It ended up with DH, DD, our nanny, her daughter and her husband with vomiting and diarrhea later that week.<br /> I'm still bitter at the parents for not canceling. I missed a week of work to clean up vomit.</p> <p>Cancel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068096 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:37:21 +0000 jessibear 2068096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: thanks! Yes, I definitely plan to let them know soon enough for them to decide. I agree w pp, they need to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068095 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:35:35 +0000 mamimami 2068095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have the party!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068094 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:34:59 +0000 MamaCate 2068094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessibear: I would call your brother and make a decision together. You may need to cancel, but some people are much more laid back about germs etc than others. I would also follow the 24 hour rule, but I think you should have a sense by tonight if she will be ready for Sunday. Hope LO gets well soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068093 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:34:41 +0000 Trailmix 2068093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need to cancel it! Especially if she doesn't throw up at all today. Could have just been something she ate, my kids randomly puke sometimes. If she doesn't have a fever and is acting normally, I wouldn't worry about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068092 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:33:41 +0000 Bao 2068092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would personally be on edge bringing my LO's around someone who had just been sick but if they are coming in from out of town then I don't know if there is much you can do. I feel like at least letting them know as a courtesy is nice, at least that's what I would want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068083 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:30:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2068083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daycare rule would be 24 hours vomit free and no medicine. </p> <p>So if she last puked today at 7:30, then tomorrow morning at 7:30 if she was still good, she would be fine. Not to say there aren't contagious germs around. </p> <p>I just don't know if you can cancel the party that late in the game if she does throw up again tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-cancel-her-party-right#post-2068078 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:28:42 +0000 jessibear 2068078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C's 2nd birthday is today! We have a small party (just brunch with family) planned tomorrow. Unfortunately and of course, C randomly vomited yesterday around 230 and again around 730. No fever, she has an appetite and is acting fairly normal. Laying in my lap right now but I think it's more because after she puked in the bed last night, it was another hour or two before we could get her back in a clean bed. </p> <p>So, I really, really want to have her party. My brother, SIL and niece are coming from out of town and they're my main concern. My niece is 11 months and I really, really don't want to get her sick. I also really want to see them, though and don't really think c is contagious. </p> <p>Basically, I need you guys to tell me I'm crazy for even considering still having the party. Or not. It MIGHT be possible to move it to Sunday. </p>
