Son was sick yeaterday, just after Sunday lunch. In all he had 3 visits to the basin and then seemed ok. No temp but looked a bit pale and tired. Slept fine all night but woke early(6.45).
Hes had toast this morning amd had beef sandwich with a few chips for lunch. So far nothing has come back. <br /> Hes due at a hallowene party at 4.30p.m (been looking forward to it) and then he`ll have a sleepover. The house is round the corner from us.
What would you do? send him or keep him home?

Let him go to the party maybe, but not stay the night? I think that's what I'd do; it will have been just over 24hrs since he was sick, but I'd feel anxious about my dss staying over after sickness the day before. also, tbh, if i were the host's mummy I don't think I'd welcome the extra overnight worry and responsibility of a child getting over a tummy bug. I wouldnt mind him there for the evening though, given the 24hr gap, and the fact that you're round the corner.

I would send him to the party if he feels ok
as for the sleepover I would decline but he might be much better later on so get a bag packed just in case when you go to pick him up and see how he is

Sorry but I wouldn't take him at all. How would you feel if he was not only sick again whilst there but passed it onto any of the other children as well. I wouldn't be very impressed if I was the host, and would be mortified if it was my child!! Sad for him I know but there will be other parties.

We did the party but came back about 15 mins ago before the sleepover. Thanks all.
