- Only 12 in my dc's class of 17 today. My dc never gets sick and hasn't missed a day of school in two years, so dc will be in school tomorrow.

- i am in the same situation. i think it is impossible to keep dc from this flu w/o keeping them locked in the house. i think it is going to continue to spread through the summer.

- My dd is home for the third day with the flu, cough, fever (max 102) and now throwing up. I am fairly certain it's this swine flu, but I wonder when it will be over. Anyone else go one this long?

    - So when the kids start dropping out of class one by one, what's the rationale then, if they are not getting in from classmates? Happening all over Bklyn right now.

Only 12 in my dc's class of 17 today. My dc never gets sick and hasn't missed a day of school in two years, so dc will be in school tomorrow.

i am in the same situation. i think it is impossible to keep dc from this flu w/o keeping them locked in the house. i think it is going to continue to spread through the summer.

mine got sick, i kept her home for two days and sent her back. it's mild enough not to panic.

This is a private school.

was it swine flu?

yes.

My asthmatic mom coming to visit, though. Not sure what to do.

I continue to send dcs to school

My dd is home for the third day with the flu, cough, fever (max 102) and now throwing up. I am fairly certain it's this swine flu, but I wonder when it will be over. Anyone else go one this long?

how old? NYC?
