Hi Purple... He does seem fine now...he ate a bit...fell asleep on my lap...but played with me a lot this morning - and wasn't at all fussy - and had no signs of fever, etc. I think he may have just caught a bug yesterday.
I like the idea of just letting her focus on her work - and focusing on my role as the parent today...I was just about to send her a note just saying what I wrote above - the he played, no fever, fell asleep and is fine...but I guess if all is well, she really doesn't have to hear about it...
I'm glad you have hope for the future...I know that I do too...it's muted...but it's in me...
