Hello all ! I am in a panic again worring about my kids getting sick with this virus thats going around. Last night we went down to my brother in laws house to visit. Then today I find out that one of my nephews and one of my nieces are home sick today with a virus! I do know that it apparently is contagious because my niece goes to daycare and her mother called this morning to tell then that her daughter would not be there today and they told her that alot of kids were out due to this virus. I would assume that it is going around at the school also, because that is where my nephew is. I guess I am in a panic because I know that they have been exposed and I'm expecting something bad to happen now. I wonder also if this virus was something that they caught yesterday at school/daycare or if it was something that they actually got last week and it just now made them sick. I wonder how long I have to wait and see if my kids are gonna get it, like how fast moving is it. I am afraid of being here at night by myself while my hubby is working and me having to deal with it alone. I am upset at how my family treats me because of this phobia. I dont know why they cant undersatnd that this is real to me. I am also afraid of catching it myself. I get so sick sometimes of listening to other peoples problems in this family when no one seems sensitive to my fears and concerns. AND ............. to top all of this off, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow and have a CT Scan done of my pelvis because of a cyst on my ovary, and you know what they make you drink ..... that nasty contrast stuff!!!! Has anyone here had to drink that stuff? What was it like? I am so afraid of it making me sick even though most people I have talked to say that it is gross, but that they can tolerate it. PLEASE, I welcome any respose I get!!!!
