How to Stop A Stomach Bug From Spreading In A Large Family

February 22, 2018

Boy oh boy do I have some tips to share with you today on how to stop a stomach bug from spreading in a large family! We have been through the ringer for the last month!

If you read my last post, about surviving times of illness in a large family, then you already know that we have been battling the stomach bug. What you may not know is that we went through this stomach bug for four whole weeks! Eek!!!

Everyone in the family (11 of us total) got it, except for my oldest son, and four of us got it twice! Twice!!!

I always thought that once you caught it, you were good and wouldn’t get it again that same year. Let me tell you, folks. You CAN get it again!

I’m going to share with you today what we did wrong, and then what we finally started doing that ended up containing the virus and getting it out of the house. It was NOT easy. We basically adopted hospital grade sanitation procedures. But it was necessary. And now that I have these procedures, I have some hope that in the future, when we get the stomach bug again, we won’t have it for nearly as long, and we might be able to contain it to just a few people coming down with it. We’ll see.

But hopefully not anytime soon!

How To Survive Being Sick In A Large Family

February 10, 2018

I am writing today from a place of experience! We have been trudging through these steps of surviving being sick in a large family for three weeks now (and we still have four children make that two children who haven’t caught the bug yet!!!)

You know the drill. When one person catches a virus, usually at least half of the family ends up affected. Unless it’s the dreaded stomach bug. In our house, if one gets a stomach bug, we all eventually get it!

As with just about anything large family-related, early preparation and a good mindset are the two things that matter most. Let’s go more in depth into exactly what I keep on hand, a few new tips I’ve picked up during our current epidemic, and what to do when it feels like everything is just falling apart (if you stay in a sickness cycle long enough, this will happen!)

Get tips from a mother of nine on dealing with sickness in a large family!
