Coughing, Sneezing, and Belly Aching

T is sick again.  He's caught himself a cold this time.  It doesn't surprise me though.  One of the last times I volunteered at the school, one of the little guys in his class was using his entire bare arms as a kleenex for his runny nose. :/

Obviously these kids share and touch the same things in the classroom.  They're almost certain to catch a few colds.

T is becoming a drama queen, lately.  So I have to carefully observe.  What seems like a simple cough can lead up to a coughing fit.  And he usually can develop some symptom or another the day before my Monday off.  So I never know whether he's exaggerating or really hatin' it.

Since taking Shalyse's appendicitis symptoms lightly, 26 years ago, I now skirt on the dramatic side.  Nevertheless, I sent him to school today.

And then was called at work to collect this sickie by noon. I think we'll be staying in again tomorrow.

T is pretty much stuck in front of the television...right where he likes to be.  In the meantime, he plays the sick card to the hilt and asks for special smoothies, crustless cheese sandwiches, and warmed up sweet rolls (a la Smith's).

Crossing my fingers that my immune system avoids his or any other virus.
