Oh nooo that is the worst. Hope you feel better! Ugh.

My 6 year old woke up at 3 am throwing up, threw up on and off until 7 and fell asleep for a little bit she managed to eat a little bit of lunch then napped for 3 hours, woke up with a fever. Tylenol and some Gatorade, the napped on the couch a few more hours. A few bites of dinner and back to bed. I’m really really hoping it’s a 24 hour thing and she’s the only one. Luckily our plans were very low key anyway, just my mil here for the week.

We don’t have gastro but chicken pox is working its way through our family so you have my sympathies!

A few years ago I had a stomach bug on Christmas day without realizing it. Started feeling sick mid-afternoon, had to leave my ILs house early, threw up on the car ride home. And then a few days later every single other family member was sick. I felt absolutely awful. Hopefully you all are on the mend soon and can enjoy some festivities and you're not getting all your loved ones sick too

Last Christmas bil had cancer but got cleared to have Christmas at home with everyone provided he wear a mask and no one touch him and no one be sick. With a 2 & 4 year old there was not a single day last December where everyone in our house was 100% and we didn't dare risk even a runny nose. So we had a very sad Christmas at home all alone.

@muffinsmuffins: my youngest just had it 2 days ago, but none of the rest of us had caught it (yet), and in the most likely suspect because when she was sick she would only sleep literally on top of me, and she also coughed in my face several times and threw up on my hands (yay). But so far so good?

I spent Christmas 2 years ago with the stomach bug st my in laws house—not fun.

My 5 year old was diagnosed with pneumonia last night, but luckily he's starting to feel a little better. Felt bad because he was also sick on his actual birthday & for his birthday present to the waterpark a week later.

ugh i'm so sorry. i got hit with the flu 2 days before thanksgiving. still hosted a house full of people, but I love cooking/entertaining and this was not fun and such a bummer. the kids were mostly spared (bad colds) but right after dinner was done I looked at DH and saw how white and sweaty he was... tried to usher everyone out (graciously...) until my MIL pouted and said in her baby talk voice, "but I want a slice of the pie I made." at which point I lost my mind and told everyone they needed to GET OUT. oh well, maybe it will be funny in a few years... sending you good vibes for a quick recovery. and if today's not the day you are on the mend, maybe you can push a day? say santa got tied up and will be coming tonight? good luck, ginger ale/crackers/zofran!

@crazydoglady: Pretty lousy! The little guy rallied but I still feel bad. We were supposed to stop and visit friends on our way home from my parents but I just cancelled because I don’t have the energy, which is super disappointing. Woe is me!

@muffinsmuffins: thank you - seems like this may be short-lived or food-related thank goodness. So far about half a banana and a few sips of Gatorade have stayed down since this morning.

This happened to DD1 when she had just turned two. We had literally put the last presents under the tree after wrapping and we’re turning off lights when we heard her scream over the monitor. We opened her door and for sure knew she threw up. She was so pitiful crying about the “yucky water”. We still call it that sometimes even.
That was our first year at home for Xmas (spent her newborn ands 1 yo Xmas at each grandparents) and I was never more thankful not to have traveled. We were up off and on. Hanging sheets and pjs all night. She had a great Xmas morning though and fell asleep sitting up watching the nutcracker ballet afterward. Sucked, but turned into a pretty memorable holiday. DH and I never caught it somehow. I’m sure we might look back differently if we had!
