Steelers in '13!
Always did the same, even for my own ailments!! LOL I wish I could call Mommy for advice right now.Originally Posted by gabosaurus
As the mother of a child with a compromised immune system, I feel your pain. In fact, I feel it about once a month or so. Fortunately, both my husband and I have understanding employers.
If I have a question, I follow a procedure that parents throughout time have relied on.
I call my mom.

I've been letting him rest mostly, but also giving him Theraflu, which has Tylenol in it. I also got him to eat some eggs and toast, and some cereal. I just took his temperature now and it's 99.6. He'll have his medication again before bed and hopefully he'll sleep the night through.
Hold him out tomorrow, even if the temps are back to normal? Seems as if that's the consensus, that a day of rest should be given after the flu subsides a bit. I spoke to my Aunt, who is tutoring him, and she said the same, and said to just have him keep gathering assignments and such from the teachers when he returns, and she'll ensure he gets caught up.

He didn't 'ask' he took a poll! LOL! School nurse, you, Abbey thanked, his aunt, myself, probably more. I think he was looking for a dissent, but no one there.lol.... he did ask.....
Hey Jim, did the boy's temp stay down today, so far? I'm glad he liked the eggs! Don't know why I remembered that from my kids. I think soup takes too long to get down. LOL! Lazy critters when sick!
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

He was hovering around just less than 101 last evening. This morning he was at 100.4 and he had his tylenol, breakfast and more rest. A few hours ago he was at 97.9 and sitting up with the laptop playing video games. Just a few minutes ago he came into my room and declared himself cured! He thinks theraflu is a miracle drug now. Going to keep him in bed the majority of the day today as a precaution and hopefully back to school tomorrow.He didn't 'ask' he took a poll! LOL!

Don't tell the nurse, but I agree as long as his temp stays down with no meds. He'll get all his assignments tomorrow and hopefully catch up over the weekend.

Jim, we have found, and IIRC, studies show, that Advil brings down temps better than Tylenol. Just some info for the future if he has a really high temp, like our daughter used to get all the time.
