This post may not provide you with information from the “experts,” but hopefully some of you will head into this illness season more aware.  There is a flu bug going around that results in 105 fevers over a period of 5+ days.  We’ve been through it with one child, and are now working through it with the other.  The first time I actually saw the thermometer, I was pretty panicked.  I feel kind of like an old pro at this point.  If any of the kids in your child’s class are out for a week or so sick, then you know it has hit your neck of the woods.  Be aware of the illness quotient in your preschools, classes and playgroups.  This one is to be avoided if at all possible.
