He should feel peppy tomorrow. Some sleep and drugs. You can alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
Yup, doctor's orders - gotta stay home tomorrow whilst he's still the Outbreak monkey.
A couple times a year? Ugh. Colin's been reasonably healthy (as much as possible considering he's in a class with 25 other germ-sharing kids) for the last few years and I seem to have a pretty robust immune system, so I'm hoping that this doesn't become too regular of a thing.
