AGH I would be mad too!!! I understand, we have a few cases of H1N1 here in our small town. My kids all have sinus drainage right now. I KNOW that it is their sinuses because I am having the same thing. They are fine but they have a cough and a sore throat so I am always telling everyone dont worry its just their sinuses. I hope he can go back to school I wish I had some idea for you on what you could do.

Schools do prefer you leave them home, I mean I prefer that my kids not come to school with a cold (by that I mean students) cuz I don't want it. I know it is a pain, but it is a pain for everyone else if they get the cold...sorry hun

I think people panic too much... Schools need to read up on certain illnesses... Most illnesses are spread during the incubation period when you are running a fever.. Our school sends kids home for everything...

I think colds are a bit over kill. I understand the h1n1 worries but if I took time off for a cold with my kids I would never work. And I can't afford that. Mine go to daycare. One of them is usually got a runny nose.

I think because of the h1n1 flu they don't want to take any chances. They are all being over causious.

I already got mine because I am a healthcare worker...
The boys will get theirs but probably not for a week or so.
