Women Competing While Sick?

[tpMom]

Sounds like what happened to us last year....First time EVER we decided to go to the optional travel meet in Chicago with the entire family. Well two days before we are to fly out our gymnasts twin brother came down with the FLU. We got him tamiflu and I begged my husband to get the gymnast tamiflu also. He didn't want to but asked the doc and the doc said no- if he started to show symptoms when are there they will call in a prescription but that he should still be able to compete. The day after we arrive he comes down with the flu also! I thought about making him compete since the Dr said it was OK but he was in no shape to make it even partway through a meet at that point....so we flew all the way to Chicago for him to get the flu. Ugh!

Oh No! Poor kid, I bet he was disappointed too (on top of being sick!)
