I need advice

So Allison has been health as can be for about 6 months. No colds, no nothing. I great change from her first year. Anyways, she now has a nasty cold. The usual: sneezing every 5 seconds, lots of snot (clear snot so far), and she now has a fever of 101. While I know it's not really serious to take her to a doctor, I do have a problem!

Tomorrow we are supposed to drive to Houston for a fun weekend with my best friend, her husband and their baby (5 months old). I haven't seen her in seriously about 18 months and we are running out of opportunities since we are leaving the state the last week in June. do you think I should put it off to another weekend? Should Allie be around a 5 month old at ALL whne she has a fever and cold? I don't know if we should cancel or not. I know it's probably obvious but i want to know waht YOU would do.

I would most definitely put it off, especially since she has a fever. I would be really upset if someone brought their sick children around my kids. Alli probably won't feel like doing much either so I'd just take it easy. Poor little thing, I hope she starts to feeling better.

I would put it off because of the fever... a 5 month old with a nasty cold is no fun at all... I'm sure your friend will be very greatful that you are so considerate!

her fever is gone (w/ out any meds). I told my friend and she said if she gets a fever at all again then we will put it off. I am sure we probably will end up doing that.

the other girls about the fever. If the fever is gone I might just make sure she's de-germed when she's near the baby. Hand sanitizer is a wonderful thing!

It could be a temporary thing. If she is still feeling icky I would call it off. If not, you could try to keep your distance and give her some motrin and see how she is doing?
