DS was running a low fever yesterday after his afternoon nap, 99-100. He was pretty pitiful in the afternoon/evening, no energy, just wanting to cuddle. He threw up at 9:30 pm, ST(the rest of)TN and woke up at 5:30. He threw up again around 6am. After a dose of Motrin this morning, he's been acting mostly normal -happy, playing, slightly reduced appetite. His fever is 100.8 without meds. He's asleep now.
tomorrow we are supposed to to an event "in the city" with my meetup group (I'm the organizer.) 7 other moms RSVP'd yes, plus there will be moms and kids at the place we are going.
pertinent info - -we are taking public transportation which many of the other moms are unfamiliar with and may be nervous about navigating themselves....but it's ridiculously easy. We are traveling from one end if the line to the other, no connections. - I really want to go! It's going to be super fun and it's my last week off with DS before going back to work for the school year. -I think DS is/will be ok. -I feel a sense of responsibility to the group -both to "lead" them downtown, but also to do the right thing if my kid is sick.
Daycare, school, etc all have the no fever within 24 hrs rule. My child currently has a fever. WWYD? Go? Stay home? Decide in the morning?
Sorry I wouldn't go. DD just had a fever last week that lasted almost 5 days. She had no other symptoms, but on day 3 I started throwing up and have been ever since (going on 4 days now). I would cancel and follow daycare's 24hr rule. It's just too early to know whether he'll be healthy and not contagious tomorrow. This viruses can be quick, but they can linger too
DS and I can go on our own once he's better. I'm just so disappointed because DS loves other kids and I'm just starting to get to know these moms. I can't really reschedule the meet-up because I don't think it's fair to the other moms planning to go tomorrow and this is my last week home with DS.
