what do i do???

i've been up and down all night with kids taking turns throwing up. only one "isn't sick". he says he doesn't feel good but i don't know if that's watching everyone else and thinking he could get out of school too or if he is just not as progressed and will start throwing up in a hour or two. so do i make him go to school or not? if he gets sick a few hours from now then i will have to pack 3 sick kids and the baby in the car to pick him up. if he doesn't and gets sick two days from now then the other will be in school while he misses and he will be staking the absent days which isn't cool either. grrrrrr and we seem to be out of kid fevor meds and i asked hubby while he was getting ready for work if he could go get me some and some pedilite before work which he forgot, there is no way i can make a store run with this many sick kids, but i need the meds at least.......................... now what?

Do you have a neighbor you could borrow the meds from? A friend or relative that could bring you the meds? A drugstore that delivers?

i'd keep him home, just incase he is sick. and he's probalby all germy from you guys. let him stay home and get rest but make sure he isn't allowed to do ANYTHING fun. as ffor meds....like truegrits said...any neighbors? can you call your visiting teachers? or home teachers? friends or family?

so i decided to feed him and keep him home at least 2 hours. if it stays down and he's fine i'll take him (no different than having to pick him up right?) and if he's sick then no harm done. in the mean time he can reread his book and spelling etc. maybe i'll call hubby in an hour and make him bring me the meds he didn't pick up and if my boy is well he can drop him off on his way back to work......grrrrr
