H has a stomach bug-FML

[Deleted]

You guys, h came home last night from work sick said he had been in the bathroom all day. I think it's a bug he had the chills and diarrhea all night. I gave him Imodium (didn't work) and tucked him into bed with my snuggie and blankets because he had the chills and pulled out a giant hand sanitizer. Ughhh, had to scramble to get ds to daycare and lost an hour of my work day (usually h does it but he said he felt too weak) and canceled our dinner/movie date win friends tonight so I can be solo parent after work and then disinfect the house and wash sheets. Hold me! Hope it passes soon

This is so rough. Sorry @itsbritt

Yucky!! Cleaning up after sickness is the worst! It's Friday at least? You can take it but by bit this weekend.

So sorry. Dealing with sick kids is one thing, but a sick DH is the absolute worst!

Sooo sorry. I've become a slightly crazy germophobe about stomach bugs after a couple bad ones that went through the family. Really, I'm a little nuts about it if anyone has been sick. Don't do Immodium--that stuff needs to come out right now, not get stuck inside! Also if it's a norovirus you need bleach or Lysol--Clorox wipes don't actually kill it.

Maybe it's something he ate. I'm always hoping for mild food poisoning vs a stomach bug, so that it's not contagious.

Totally stinks that you had to cancel your dinner date.

There have been no pukes so I'm trying to convince myself that it was something he ate and that we will all be fine ughh. I will opt for Lysol now that you told me that, thanks. Hoping he feels better tomorrow so the whole weekend isn't shot but he is soooo dramatic right now it's up in the air.
