Seth started coughing a bit last Tuesday and had a couple sleepless nights because of it so we decided to keep him out of school for extra treatments and some TLC. After it continued (and the diarhea started)on we though it best not to assume it was his sinuses and take him on to the doctor. Well the Doctor just agreed that he thought it was just a sinus infection and started us on two weeks worth of antibiotic. I had planned to go ahead and get his flu shot at this visit because I had been warned before not to get it too soon because the real flu season doesn't start until December or so, but because of this infection they didn't think it was safe to give him the shot. Feeling better I took him back to school the next day only to find out that 95 students had been out sick with the flu the day before, which is atleast 1/3 of the school. Having the flu going around like that is scarey enough but without the vaccination it was just more than I could take so we turned around and went back home. I feel like with all he goes through the flu is the last thing he needs (especially since we just got his BMI up to 54%, his record high) and if I could find someone to build a giant bubble to put him in I think I would do it. Anyway the plan as for now is to let him go back on Monday in hopes that most of the children will be feeling better. Meanwhile I'm getting lots of Seth and Mommy time ;)
PS Don't you hate when parents send their kids back to school when they are still sick!!! We'll never get rid of the flu that way!

Glad you kept him out. That bug was no joke. Tell him if he needs some more TLC, Ta-Te's got plenty to pass around! I know how much he loves it!
