Feeling better, avoiding germs

Riley seems to be back to his cheerful self--he's eating lots and only napping once every three days. We have even seen some smiles, which is a relief after several days of crying, whining, and sadness. Now we are trying to keep him healthy without keeping ourselves locked in the house. I know he's missing his friends, but I'm worried about exposing him to too many germs that might postpone surgery again. And so now we are just waiting for this whole process to begin again next Wednesday morning.
