Perfect Timing...Not

Well, after being healthy all summer, my kiddo now has a sore throat and congestion. Last night his temperature was 100.7F, but today it's normal, which is a good sign. Oh, and did I mention that school starts on Monday? Sheesh. He's going to his dad's for the weekend, and I'm hoping they don't stay up late as they've been doing this summer. If the kiddo were home with me for the weekend, I'd be making sure he rests and sending him to bed early or on time and dosing him with water and vitamins and M*trin and doing whatever else will speed his recovery. I hate having to send the kiddo away when he's sick; I'm a mom through and through and that just feels so, so wrong.
