I know not many people are likely here with the holiday, but I'll try anyways... We were planning to travel to visit my family this week - two flights cross-country. We only go once or twice a year as its fairly expensive and the whole family will be there.

DH developed a fever yesterday - we thought it was a sinus infection, but his fever was 103+ by the time I got home from work today. He went to urgent care and for whatever reason the rapid strep test malfunctioned, but they think it is most likely strep, or maybe mono. Blood work will confirm, but it will take awhile with the holiday.

Obviously DH should stay home and get better. But trying to decide if LO and I should go. It also sort of sucks because it was 100 degrees today and the only room in our house with AC (an inadequate portable unit) is our bedroom. So I sent DH to a nearby hotel - he felt so horrible he could barely get into an uber - which is a considerable expense. If we go ahead and go he could come rest at home without fear of getting us sick being crammed into the same bedroom, but I worry that LO or I - or both of us - are likely to come down with it as well. We will potentially expose others, accessing medical care out of state will be a mess, and I'm just imagining being delayed for heavens knows how long at O'Hare with both myself and the baby sick when we have to come back...So I don't know if we should go... I know my family will say "yes, come" even if it means getting exposed, but not sure it's a good idea.
