Unexpected Situation: Sick Son, Fundraiser Show Today - What Would You Do?

[Jennie4PC]

I have a fundraiser show today and last night my son woke up sick I have no family around that can take him, and my DH is at work. What would you guys do? I have thought about taking him and having him lay in a corner away from everyone but if he throws up that is the last thing people need to hear, I have also thought about letting him sleep in the car but he is only 6 and I dont feel very comfortable about that even though he would be right outside. What would you do.

call and talk to you host, if you have one. Let them know of your situation and your concerns. Maybe you can go at the beginning and then check back at the end? Something to where your son is not having to be anywhere in a corner or something. No the car is a BAD place for him.. don't do that!! (but I think you know that!) Call right away to your host... do you have any consultants you know who are close who could maybe help you out today? Good Luck!

Jess,
That is a good idea to call my host, I didnt think about that. I dont know any consultants in my area that can help out.

I don't think bringing him out would be good, esp if he is contagious. Poor thing wants to just sleep, rest, in his own bed! I hope it works out for you----worse case scenerio, maybe you can make the recipe ahead of time and they can just eat and browse the catalog.

Good luck Jennie!

My original plan was to pre make the recipe and then do a catalog walk through. I have a few ideas of what I am planning on doing. The one who is basically the host is my friend and she knows how to calculate orders and I did talk to her.

I wouldn't leave him in the car, I also wouldn't take him out around people.
we have several friends in the past month who have had a virus and some of ended up hospitalized. It has been hanging on about 6 days, you don't want to be responsible for exposing anyone especially with the holidays coming.
I'd callt eh host and let her take orders

glad things are going to work out... i hope your baby gets better soon, its no fun being sick!

 

[Jennie4PC]

I just talked to my DH and he is coming home while I go to the fundraiser. Thank goodness it is the slow season and he can leave for a couple of hours.

Teresa,
I sure hope this doesnt last 6 days. And right before the holidays. Yikes.
