oh yes, been there & done that. The problem I have when this sort of thing happens is that I start to throw up as well. The sight, smell, or even sound of puke starts that gag reflex in me. So my wife always ends of cleaning up more than the original stuff.

Kindof good though, because my wife knows if she sends me to the rescue that she’ll have more to clean up. So I don’t get asked to work the puke scene very often.

Oh yeah, I’ve been there. I even had to call my husband to come home from work to help once – our oldest was throwing up and I was three months pregnant with rampant 24/7 nausea. Before it was all said and done, we were both in the shower! Lots of cuddling and bucket time after though!

The worst was recently though. Our two year old who was fine when we left the house to take my husband to work suddenly let out a tremendous amount of vomit. Pulling over to clean her up, we realized how bad it was. We changed her clothes only to have her vomit all over again just a few minutes later. In 45 minutes she had vomited three times and continued until late in the evening at which time I had to take her to the ER, praying the trip would be uneventful. The entire day I didn’t get anything done because each time I would get up to go do something, she would throw up. The worst part of it? She’s one of those “no warning” vomiters.

Yup – been there, done that on several occasions — and the bottom line is that it sucks. Just sucks. And that’s all there is to it. My advice? Take a deep breath, deal with it, give lots of hugs after… -B

I’ve been there, Andy, though my worst story is coming home from work to find that everyone at home had thrown up, with a trail running from the living room to the bathroom. I had to go buy a carpet steamer to get that mess cleaned up!
