Huge step

Well tonight the boys had a night hike at one of the areas nature areas with a naturalist. I decided not to go for a couple reasons. I am taking a huge step in letting them go without me and only with the leaders and a couple parents. I am hoping that they behave themselves and have a great time. Ryan has been virtually cooped up in the house since Thursday of last week. He has had many symptoms so today I finally took him to a doctor in which he wanted to swab his nose and his throat. When we left I asked him which he thought was better and he said the throat because "that nose really hurt, I was about to pull it out and break it in two." He typically doesn't like anything up his nose(of course unless it's his finger). He hates it when we take him in for a check-up. Anyways he hasn't been showing any sick signs enough for me to keep him from going and since he missed his "cross-country" meet yesterday I wanted him to be able to go tonight. I will definitely be keeping my fingers crossed.
