Exposures to Illness

[Guest guest]

Do you panic when your kids are exposed to an illness? I do!!! My DH thinks I

am a nut but every time our kids are exposed to something beyond a common cold,

it is very anxiety producing for me. For example, last night we went out to eat

with a couple of other families, today one of the boys, who is a good friend of

Henry's and he was sitting next to him while EATING, has come down with a fever

of 102 and flu symptoms (respiratory). There is a HUGE outbreak of influenza at

the boy's school (I know another child who goes there - just had confirmed flu-

and the secretary and nurse at the school told the mother. So now I am worried.

Please tell me it is normal to worry
