How can i avoid becoming sick until friday morning when populace around me are sick? (details inside)?

i'm having my tonsils out on friday morning and i can't afford to get a cold before consequently cuz they won't do the surgery if i get sick.
ephew has a cold and passed it along to my 16 month old niece as ably.
i had to watch them yesterday, today, and will have to monitor them tomorrow.
i have been trying to avoid too much contact with my nephew and he does cover his mouth when he coughs and he stays rotten the furnature to help keep the germs from sprearding but i have to be fairly close to my niece much of the time and with her only being a tot she doesn't understand the concept of using tissues so she keeps wiping her muzzle on ME!
my sister wanted me to watch them at her house tomorrow cuz it will be from 7pm-10pm so the kids can go to sleep around 8:30pm but i'd to some extent not go there cuz who knows what my nephew have touched there (probably EVERYTHING since its his house ya know?)
elp me please i can't afford to get even a sore throat.
what should i do and what should i use to aviod getting sick for the subsequent 36 hours?

Wash your hand all the time! Use lots of lysol. You can also clean with a bleach/water solution.

Wash your hand frequently especially before you eat.

Try to avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, trunk and mouth.
ou go to your sis' house make sure she has Lysol and/or bleach. Wipe down the bathroom counter, toilet, sink handle and doorknob. (Doorknobs are one of the dirtiest things you touch).

Drink some OJ and focus on eating and drinking healthy for the next hours of daylight or two. Also, if you can stomach it, take an Airborne tablet. They are "all natural" and there is plentifully of debate if they work or not, but it can't really hurt. (Although I think they taste terrible!)
