How contagious is the stomach bug?
We were at a party tonight with neighbors. We knew yesterday that their younger daughter had been sick Thursday but was at a dance class Saturday, not with Katie but at the same place. At the party the mom told us she had been sick all yesterday afternoon but was fine today. So far the husband and older daughter are fine.
Are we doomed to get this thing? Obviously the kids were all playing together and the mom was touching everything. I hate, hate, hate vomit.
Re: How contagious is the stomach bug?
VERY! VERY! VERY!
Ethan had it, passed to to me, Reid, my parents (who watch him during the week), my uncle who visited my mom's house. A week later...yes, a full week later my sister and her daughter got it, we are assuming, from Ethan.
I would NOT be happy that they had her at a party the day after she had a stomach bug! UGH! I'm bothered for you!
Mangia! My Family Table
OHH...that makes it a little better, assuming the mom has better hygiene than the standard kid. You may be okay! I had it on Wednesday into Thursday and went back to work Friday.
I know everyone is saying that's f-ed up, but really how much more protection do you get from the 24 hour daycare rule? Since it was the mom, I think there is an excellent chance no one will get it since washing hands, cleaning the bathroom and surfaces lots of people touch can keep it from spreading. Even last year when Teagan got it I didn't get it like previous years. I am pretty sure the difference was her ability to really wash her hands well and to puke in a bucket and not somewhere I had to clean it up. DH didn't get it either.

W's had it since Friday AM and J and I are fine. My sister, nephew and J's bff are all here - taking their chances.
He's so weird though....he ate oatmeal this morning and was fine. Had 1/2 a pb&j and was still fine. Hung out all afternoon and was fine. Had a few cheeze doodles (how do you nosh on superbowl crap and tell your 3.5 year old he can't have a few?) Was fine for at least 2 hours and then puked them all up. And then he cried hysterically 10 minutes later that he was starving and wanted pizza. I don't understand.....he's all over the place. And I'm exhausted.
Interesting, thank you! I didn't know that. I've heard the incubation period is 36 hours (and this holds true for the time frame between daughter and mom getting sick) so I guess we'll know sometime in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow if we're going to be the next victims.
Here's hoping you guys are fine!!! (My daughter and husband got the bug JUST as the hurricane hit our area, so I was taking care of her, him, the baby, and the water rushing inside our fireplace and both the baby and I were spared.) It is possible you'll be okay!
