Another WW/WAW, Need Guidance 2

[JAS84]

Goodnight call last night was relatively uneventful. S4 had a good day, they hung out with FIL for his birthday.

W mentioned that S4 has a rash on his chest and belly. He had been playing in some leaves on Saturday with his cousins, so I asked when the last time he had a bath was, and whether he seemed uncomfortable. She replied that he had one on Friday (We typically bathe S4 every other day), and that he didn't seem to be itchy.

I wished them a good night, and restful sleep.

This morning, text message conversation:

W: Going to keep S4 home with me today, he was up quite a bit coughing last night. I'll let school and sitter know.

Me: Aww, that $uck$... I hope he's okay. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Me: Forgot to ask... How is that rash you mentioned last night? Any spreading? Do you think the cough is related?

W: It hasn't spread, it looks more like hives than a rash. They are still pretty red but he's not complaining of them itching. I put calamine lotion on them last night and got some Benadryl just in case.

Me: Okay. Sorry for the 20 questions. Just got concerned when you said you were keeping him home from school. Have a good "bonus" day together! Even if he's not feeling well, extra time is awesome. Sending love, care, and well-wishes.

Element of 180 here: Did not start firing off suggestions of what she could do for S4. I have to let her make her own decisions.
