Overly cautious or not?

We are going through a weird period, both globally, nationally, and locally in Florida. School is on free-fall with the current swine flu scare. 3 kids now confirmed at an elementary school in Lee county. The boys school? No, but that doesn't matter in our case.

Our Pediatrician doesn't want Niky in school at all... he is just too susceptible with a compromised immune system. He was pretty much "sick" from January until , maybe 10 days ago... oh, yes he'd get better, for a little while but never really well. Yeah... he's finally Well, healthy!

So all 3 littles are out of school. Pediatrician's recommendation, MY choice.

Days are busy and filled with the kids fun and dreams. Sanibel and shell hunting have been getting a workout; as has, a favorite park; places they like where there is openness and not a lot of other kids. We are spending a lot more time in the backyard with fewer playmates coming over. Jesse has been busy with new friends and new job. Andy misses not going to visit his "granma peoples," aka nursing home residents that he reads to a couple days a week. There are many years ahead for school and missing now to be cautious is somehow insignificant in the whole picture.

If you have something negative to say about this..... move on, I delete.
