We usually visit my mom on Sunday when she has my nephew for the day. I decided to take them there yesterday (ds1 was feeling better but ds2 wasn't sick until after we got there) because I didn't want to risk ds1 still being contagious around his (unvaccinated 4 year old) cousin since we didn't know if he had something dangerous. Both my kids are fully vaccinated so something that presents as a cold/flu/tummy bug for them could be potentially dangerous for their cousin. (I am NOT posting this to start a vaccine debate. I just know that what is a quick bug I can care for at home with my kids could potentially be something that could make my nephew severely sick.)
