I was pretty stunned when the doctor, who saw him just before noon on Monday said he could go to school Tuesday.
Sure, the kid has conjunctivitis, plus it gave him an ear infection to boot. So 1) he would be heartbroken if he spread it to a friend, 2) his own immune system’s a wee bit compromised, so he’d probably bring home God knows what and 3) I wanted to leave enough time for other parents to get THEIR kids straightened out if that’s where he picked it up.
So I kept him home yesterday, knowing today would be a snow day ( ) so he’s had a full three days on the ointment and antibiotic.
I guess mine was sympathy pink-eye. Kind of like when somebody mentions lice and you start scratching your scalp? I think I’m in the clear. Since the tall kid won’t get within 20 feet of the short kid, he’s in the clear, too.
