How do you tell..

When a kid is returning to health? Well, in the case of #1, (primus inter liberi) when ze starts to snigger and giggle while reading, then when it is pointed out to zer that maybe ze is improving... ze argues with me. Huge red flag *lol*. Followed by sticking nose into other ppls business, and squabbling with siblings.

Health is returning at speed. IMHO.
