[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid. Some people want to be left alone when they're sick. Some people want to be fussed over. I'd see which kind of kid I was dealing with and proceed accordingly. When my kid is sick, she just wants to sleep. So I put a garbage pail next to her bed and leave her alone. [/quote] True, and if they are able to sleep you leave them alone. But a child who is upset and crying and actively vomiting is at risk for aspiration and should not be left alone until they are calm. Not clear which is the story in OP's case. I've had situations where we were able to leave a child sleeping and go back in when when we heard the retching again, and situations where the child was so sick and laying on the bathroom floor that we sat next to the toilet with them for 36 hours with the doctor on speed dial (and eventually ended up in the ER in the middle of the night). It depends on the situation.[/quote]
