I'm still minorly worried, but not as petrified as I was earlier.
Poor kid. I told my son he could stay home today cause he was home yesterday with me for an upset stomach and had diarrhea. By by last night he was eating well, and outside running around, and wanted to go to school. I told hom to make sure he washes his hands REALLY well if he uses the bathroom at school and to try not to touch anyone else's things. (Just in case it was a virus, so he doesn't spread it) I think one of the reasons it spreads in school and work is because people cannot take off 5 days in case they are still contagious (although i REALLY pisses me off when they come in while they ARE sick) But if they are diligent with hand washing and hygiene, they can keep from spreading it.
