[quote=Anonymous]DD (4) has had a cold for the past several days. We are on Day 5 since symptom onset, and symptoms seem to have peaked Friday-yesterday (Saturday). Her good friend’s birthday party is this afternoon. Should we attend or skip due to illness? DD is at her normal (high) energy level but has a stuffy nose and a cough. She isn’t sneezing today and no longer has a runny nose.

The party is a playground party, so everyone will be outdoors the entire time. Most of the kids who will be attending go to preschool together, and this cold seems to be going around their school. DD has not had a fever throughout the course of this illness. She’ll attend school tomorrow (and having her attend is completely in compliance with her school’s illness policy).

We kept DD home from gymnastics yesterday so that she could rest and to avoid spreading germs to others. However, she REALLY wants to attend the birthday party today. I’m inclined to let her go since her symptoms are improving, the party is outside, and all the kids will see each other at school tomorrow anyway. Just wanted a gut check on whether bringing her to the party sounds ok to others. (FWIW, I reached out to the host mom about this this morning, and she said DD absolutely should still attend.)[/quote]
