Heather in Neverland Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Would you let him go to a birthday party? My ds is supposed to go to a birthday party today for his best friend. It is at the pool of the Hard Rock Cafe and is the event of the year for a 7yo. My dh says we should let him go because: No fever No chest congestion No green gunk Mainly he has a stuffy nose and a scratchy throat. But other than that he is acting normally. He's been this way for about 3 days. No fever at any time. My first instinct is "No you can't go to a pool party! You have a cold." But dh says that is an overreaction to an upbringing that included never going outside without a hat on. :tongue_smilie: So what does the hive think? I already told dh that the hive will decide this for us. :D . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Let him go!!! If it hasn't gotten much worse in three days, it's just a cold. (hopefully) We just spent the last week at Disney with these exact symptoms. (shhhhhhh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmvaughan4 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I would let him go since he has none of the symptoms that you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Most contagious one day before and three days of symptoms. If no fever, no mucus, probably not contagious. Send him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaichiki Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If there's no fever and his nose isn't running (into the pool and such), I'd let him go too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 He is going to be one happy 7yo!!! Thanks ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If he doesn't have goo flying out of his face and he feels well enough, then I'd let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyBee Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 When I'm in doubt, I call the birthday child's mom and ask whether she's comfortable with us coming to the party. I've had some say yes and some say no. I always emphasize that I won't be offended either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
