Concerned

I am planning to leave tomorrow to go on a trip to Pittsburgh for work. I really don't want to go, but am looking forward to meeting two of my coworkers face to face. There has, however, been a lot of illnesses going around our area, and I am worried that one of my kids may get sick while I am gone. The virus seems to be causing high fevers and coughs, and last night my neighbor's little girl (7) went to the ER with a high fever and it looks like she hasn't come home yet, more than 12 hours later. My son had a slight fever last night and a cough, but so far, so good today...only time will tell. I just hope that my boss understands if I don't make it up there.
