My daughter’s roommate came down with the flu a few days ago .Our daughter got the flu shot , so she escaped it…but she has been texting me for the last few hours that she has some stomach troubles . I don’t think it as anything serious. She asked her friend to leave her some ginger ale outside of her door 
Gee, @Nrdsb4 – with both your H and D having nausea symptoms, makes you wonder if there is something contagious in addition to your D’s official pancreatitis diagnosis, like a nasty viral or bacterial bug that makes things worse.
@HImom, yes the docs thought the viral illness caused the pancreatitis. So it’s probable that DH got it from D2. Sitting on an airplane now, hoping D2 will be ok (she threw up right before I left), wondering how DH is, and hoping to goodness I don’t end up sick as well.
Oh my, Nrdsb4. Going home to a sick husband, leaving behind a DD, what a conundrum! Hopefully, you won’t get ill yourself.
@Nrdsb4 - best wishes for a complete recovery for your daughter.
Thanks for the kind words. D is slowly getting better. DH had a milder case and is back on his feet and to work.
I’ve kind of had the “queasies” for a day or two, but no vomiting or diarrhea. Maybe this bug loses steam as it passes from person to person, or maybe I’m just lucky.
H’s co-worker, at his wife’s insistence, is flying to Italy where their son is in a study-abroad program. The student was injured in a fall, requiring more than a few stitches. After a a couple days he developed a fever.(Not sure if that is related to infection/injury, or just a virus making its way through the school.) The mom just doesn’t trust the medical system there. I think she over-reacted. Very expensive trip. Not sure how the dad is going to help.
@atomom, that does seem extreme. But I’m not in that situation. I could see that happening in my family, to be honest, but I fully admit that I’m the type to do that.
I think with today’s mass communication, we’ve all heard of too many disasters, so we begin to think they are more common than they actually are.
