Nutrition and play: Consider picking up some pediasure. I hear chocolate cold from the refrig is the best. Try to have him drink at least one of these a day. It is a great source of fluid and nutrition. Also, try to schedule some playdates with other children. Often children struggle with loneliness as their sickness sometimes causes them to miss a lot school and social events.
