99.9 or 100?

Kola has been coughing and blowing for several days now. Yesterday, when his ear started to hurt, my husband took him to the pediatrician. After learning that Kola has a sinus infection, Jonathan filled his amoxycillin prescription and returned him to school. Within an hour, we received a telephone call that Kola needed to go home due to a low-grade fever.

As Jonathan prepared to leave work again, one of his colleagues warned him, "You better hurry before the nurse takes his temperature again." Due to the H1N1 flu epidemic, schools are now sending children home for SEVEN full days if they cough and have a temp of 100 or more.

It's one thing to do childcare for seven days if he really has H1N1. It's quite another thing if he doesn't!
