I have
been toggling with this decision for the past few weeks! Bo's cold started just
like A and E's snotty nose, then a light cough, had a high temp (99) but never
a fever, and was happy as could be. The first week I stayed inside! He and I
went crazy! The second week I overheard someone ask if their LO had a fever,
diarrhea, or vomiting? I took it as those were signs of a contagious cold and
warranted staying at home. As of Friday Bo had "vomited", there I
said it! And diarrhea 
--So we stayed home from any holiday activities
yesterday!
Today is
TBD! We we are snot, diarrhea, and vomit free yesterday but that darn cough is
still showing its ugly sound! We have dinner plans tonight; if his temp raises,
or any of the contagious symptoms surface we will stay home.
As for
you...Hmm? What I worry about isn't necessarily your girls getting others
sick--it is exposing them to different environments and people that could
elevate their symptoms. Is their snot green? Have they been up today and
playing? I think if I were you I would be doing a lot of hand washing, boogie
wiping, and cuddles! I think you should be fine to go.
That is
really nice of you to be so concerned for the other family members! You are a
doll!
