Julian went back to school today. I was torn whether I should send him or not, but finally decided he could go back today. He had a fever yesterday afternoon (none since then) and still has a really yucky nose, etc. BUT, he also had a field trip today. He met his A.R. goal and his school was going to the movies as a reward for the ones that met their goal. While a part of me thought he should stay home one more day, I felt terrible making him miss that field trip. I just pray he doesn't get any of his friends sick. Their school policy is he should have been fever free for 24 hours before sending him back - I hope I don't regret sending him back too early. The flu really takes it out of a person, and I suspect he was only telling me he felt better so he could go on his trip today.
Anyway, he is much better and Kathryn did not get the flu, although she does have some kind of something - sinus flare up or URI, who knows. It looks like we'll be making a trip to the doctor for her today.
Our family doctor told me one time that the average elementary school child gets 2 viruses per month (on average). I believe it! But if little viruses and sinus issues are our biggest problem right now, I guess we're pretty blessed.
