fever WWYD

[cna]

DS1's fever broke sometime last night and as of 10 minutes ago was 99.5. Their doctor said they could go back to school once they were fever free for 24 hours. DS2 has been fever free since early yesterday, so I can send them both back to school tomorrow, right?

Please say yes, I'm dying over here.

So long as he stays under 100, I'd say so.

I think so, sounds like your ds1 is getting over it and I bet after a good nights sleep, he will be fine tomorrow also your ds2 is good to go!

Oh yay! I am so ready to get them back in school and be done with this nonsense. This has been the longest week ever.

As long as they are both still fever free, yes they can go back to school tomorrow.

I'm going to be the odd one out and say no. 99.5 is still a low grade fever. My kids usually need a full day to recoup too.

Well, I am getting one kid off to school today. DS1's temp this morning was 98.5 but he is coughing so hard he has already almost thrown up several times. Kill me now.

We're on day 4 and they have never been out of school this long. It feels weird.

DD has a nasty cough too, and I don't know what to do. She's been out since Tuesday. She's not coughing a lot during the day, but when she does it's awful and she coughs up a ton of crap. And she was up half the night coughing...I should probably keep her home, but holy cow she has missed so much school. And I am going crazy.

Mine is staying home today, too. Extended Spring Break I guess? It's annoying because she obviously feels fine. However, she literally can't stop coughing and has a 100.5 degree fever. I wish I could do handstands when I'm sick like that.

After some begging from DD, I sent her. But I am prepared to get a phone call when her late night coughing fit catches up with her and the exhaustion settles in.

My daycare and ped both say anything under 100 is ok to send.
