TB went down to the hospital to see the microbiologist, amongst others. His samples are still showing E.coli, but otherwise he's completely fine. The various doctors have said there's absolutely no reason why he shouldn't return to school, and have even argued this with environmental health.
However, their policy is that he has to have two clear tests before he can return. It's incredibly frustrating, especially as the best thing they can suggest is probiotic yoghurt (I know!). They're incredibly reluctant to prescribe antibiotics because of the potential side effects, and it's an opinion I'm inclined to agree with. But, in the meantime, the poor boy is desperate to go to school, and there's nothing we can do about it.

What a nightmare you're having with this! How long has he been off school now?
Officially, four weeks at the end of this one. But then there was half term the week before that, and our four wekk holiday. Nine weeks is a long time for the poor kid.
And for you!!!
