I let the client know at pick up last night that he was able to come today only if he can participate with the other kids without the assistance of medicine. If that means she stays home in the am and doesn't medicate and he's doing ok by 11 then she's welcome to bring him by for the remainder of the day. It's hard as a parent to take 4 - 5 days off of work because your child is sick. What do you do when you're sick??? That was always my dilema when I worked outside of the home.

If the rest of the kids hadn't been sick recently I wouldn't have risked it, but there's a very strong chance he has the same bug, his body is just reacting to it differently.

He ended up staying home today... still has a fever (that's 4 days now!) and was very sleepy this am.
