Fake "vomiting", invisible boo-boos, and lots of coughing,sore throat, runny nose stuff. And one case of hand, foot, and mouth today.

A lot of unwitnessed emesis, one or two lab diagnosed cases of mono, a reported case of flu but the kid was back in two days so I suspect that may not be true...and a bunch of stressed-out 9th graders. 9th grade is tough.

We're getting a lot of what I would guess would be seasonal allergies. Running nose, coughs, some otitis, but no fever or other serious symptoms.

Had a case of the Mumps.... some headaches, throwing up, stomach aches. I think I have a stomach illness going on, but I can't say for sure. (Probably the school lunch, that stuff is nasty.)
