It invaded our home….the dreaded Norovirus

Fellow parents....I come to you all on bended knee for help for MYSELF 😩

Toddler brought home noro from daycare -- he puked in his sleep Friday night and had a fever. By later on, he was totally fine again (must be nice 🙄)

Enter, me. At 3am, I had maybe 4 or 5 bouts of spicy butt. Then stomach cramps, hot flashes, chills...and then...then around noon, the demon tried to crawl its way out of my ass and mouth at the same damn time. It was so violent. I'm SEVERELY emetophobic AND had HG during pregnancy. This is KILLING me. But I haven't thrown up since then. Am I in the clear?? Still exhausted, cramp, and lava butty. But haven't barfed anymore. I hate it here!! 😭

Update: it’s now 11:15ish and I haven’t vomited since last night around 10pm. Poops have slowed down substantially too. I’ve been able to keep liquids down and even braved a few bites of toast.

My question is — how do I know when I’m REALLY safe to reintroduce food? I’m going to keep it bland of course. But I’m still so scared 😩 I always hear about people who are good for like a day and then it comes back with a vengeance and I don’t want to be bamboozled.
