Exclamation Swamp's PSA-The stomach bug appears to be a 24 hr. thing.

Except my 2yo is on day #4. There's one going around that has hit 4/6 of the family, myself included. Projectile out both ends (plowing and snowblowing on Sunday was interesting to say the least). We've seen posts and emails from friends around the country with the same thing. You're running out of time to get it over with by Christmas!

I'm still concerned that my DD and son#2 haven't shown signs yet and we're precariously close. We traditionally go to my grandmother's house on Christmas Eve but since she's undergoing dialysis we'll probably forego those festivities. And we're hosting Christmas day dinner at our house. Not sure when to pull the plug on that, maybe give it another day to fester in the remaining healthy ones and see what happens.

I hope that none of you have to deal with it or at the very least it doesn't interfere with your plans. Wash your hands constantly!

My younger daughter had that. Then I got it. That was rough! Sorry to hear you're now going through it. I hope it leaves in time for Christmas.

I got some bug that was going around here, and it took a while to get over, but I avoided the stomach bug, but almost everyone at my work has had it.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Swamp. Hopefully you're in the clear.

It's times like that when I'm thankful my toilet and sink are very close to each other.

The terms "projectile vomiting" and "violent diarrhea" are so descriptive . . . .
