If you've seen the news in North Carolina, you've likely heard about the norovirus outbreak. Commonly called the "winter vomit bug" or "the cruise ship flu" - it's a nasty little virus that leads to a bad gastroenteritis.
The husband and I are in Tennessee this week. He to meet with his thesis advisor, and me because I am hosting a baby shower for my best friend on Saturday. She is due March 1. Yesterday, I woke up feeling dizzy and weak. I tried to take a shower to see if it would help. 30 seconds into it, I knew I was going to be sick. Thus, the husband and I spent all day yesterday being miserable. Luckily, it's a short-lived bug. I am mostly recovered today. So far, the small fry doesn't seem to have contracted it. Here's hoping that she doesn't.
Also luckily, my FIL is a doctor. So he brought home a shot of Zofran and some phenergan for us. I can hold down food now, but I'm still weak and tired.
On that note, I think I'll take a nap, since Evaline is sleeping.

I am not sure this is the same virus, but my 86 year old neighbor got it, did the clear liquid diet, got better, progressed diet, N & V back. Repeat clear liquids 24 hours, applesauce, toast (BRAT diet, bananas, rice, applesauce, toast white) 24 hours, soft foods 24 hours, did well for 3 days, N&V back!!! I sent her to her MD who said this virus could take two weeks to go away! I am sorry you have this, and hope it vanishes pronto. Go slow on dietary advances.
