The mother of a 3yo just dropped off her son to my in-home daycare. She said "he just got over a 16 hour throw up session last night. I thought he was over the illness but I gave him pizza and obviously his stomach couldn't handle it. He said he's not hungry now but he will probably eat a lot today. And I don't think he's contageous anymore."
Ok, fine, but your son JUST got over (maybe not even yet??) a 16 hour vomit fest and you're bringing him to MY house less than 12 hours after he last vomited? I also keep a 19 month old, I have a 3yo and a 2yo of my own AND I'm 35 weeks pregnant. I don't want sick kids around me, my kids or the other boy I babysit. Even if he is over his sickness I don't know if it was food poisoning or something contageous. He seems fine and may be fine for the rest of the day. But if whatever he has is communicable we're probably all going to get eventually. These are kids, they breathe on each other, touch each other, share toys...What should I do?
