Glad it worked out for you.
I too will call and give a 'heads up' that they are going downhill with the coping ~ the ole 'They are not sick enough to send them home just yet but wanted to let you know in case you want to make a DR appointment or give your boss the heads up that you might need a day off tomorrow' ~ i know there is nothing worse than showing up at pick up and seeing them so sick and now the DR office is closed, their boss has gone home for the day and so forth ~ if they have a little heads up they can 'plan' for the worse case scenario while hoping for the best!
