The doctor told me that by tomorrow, he won't be contagious and the "freshness of the cold" will be over. The cough will last a few weeks, but he won't be shedding active virus.
Two weeks ago he v** on a Sunday night one time. He was tired witha headache the next day. He never had fever or D*. Since I was not sure what it was, and sv** were going around, I kept him home for two days. By the time he went to school he had not V** in 58 hours. I don't think he was contagious at that point.
I have no idea what makes parents do the things they do. I child v*** all over the car and the mom thinks a dental exam is in order. Does she not know that the exam alone can evoke a gag reflex in any child. One that has just v*** will be more suspectible to gagging, and possibly v** again. What a dingdong.
We need a license to drive, a license to open a business, a license to cut hair, BUT anyone with a zero IQ can give birth and raise (if you want to call it that) children. Makes you wonder.
