Hi Jodie,Been reading your posts, hang in there - you are doing all the right things for your son!
Our schools have been filled with coughing and runny noses and stomach problems, and thus many absences (kids AND teachers). We thought last week we might have to close. Here in NY state, I think there is a state-mandated percentage of kids who must be there, or else schools are suspended. It's been a rough winter...
kindest regards,
Wendy
