    Hey everyone, i havent been here for a while! I spent all lastnight up with my 9 month old daughter (who was v*) and i am praying for it not to be sv. right now i am in a complete panic that my 4 year old will get it. i am Absolutely terrified that i might get it, and i know that this sounds bad but i much rather have my kids be sick then me and that makes me feel like a bad mom but i can find it myself to be stong for them cuz i know they need me. Anyways please calm me down cuz i am freaking outand i am inneed ofsome reassurance.

    I know how you feel. i have a 4 year old and when he V*'s I freak out that I will catch it and it's bad enough that he feels bad, but I get so nervous I can hardly care for him.


    You will be fine and the 9 month old probably got something new to eat/drink and the system wasn't ready for it

    You're just going to have to concentrate on your mother instinct right
    now and care for your child the best you can. If it is sv*, there is a
    pretty good chance your 4 yr old will get it. But it could be
    ANYTHING, so don't panic yet. I went through the same thing last
    year with my 1 yr old, It was horrilbe, but you will get through it.
    Just eat light meals and keep washing your hands. I did get my
    daughter's sv* as did my hubby. They both v* over and over, and
    me being the emet that I am fought it for 9 hours and came out with
    VICTORY!!! I know only true emets out there will understand. But
    the fact that you are an emet makes it less likely you will v* under
    the same circumstances.

    babies immune systems are not good. I know right now you might think its scarey, but your baby actually needs to catch things so she can grow stronger and stronger.


    wash your hands when you change her diapers, and keep your children apart untill your baby is back to herself!
