bill, i can't reply to any CC posts at my office, where read about your child's illness yest, and got home just in time to be drug off to a reception, then my printer ran out of ink, giving me this big fat "out of ink" warning in front of me.

Anyway, i am always leery of any over the phone medical opinions, and try to not do much of it myself. Even in a flu season, where everybody seems to be sick with pretty much the same symptoms, your child's doctor will remain wary that the illness just might be masquerading as something else. So if things do not go "according to plan", it is always good to check in with his physician, to see if any additional evaluation is warranted. But it sounds like your child's car is in good hands, and remember, always best for a parent to do the "parent stuff", ie, fluids, symptomatic car, and let the physician do the "medical stuff."

But pediatricans always want to hear if a parent continues to have an uneasy feeling about their child's illness.

Hope things are better now.

your old friend,
