"Allowing the coolness of it to cool his feverish face, a thin sheet of sweat covered his forehead" ... Beware of those -ing phrases. Grammatically this sentence says that a sweat-sheet allowed coolness to cool someone's face. Yes, I know it's a minor thing, but opening paragraphs are crucial to luring readers into reading the rest of your story.

This line was great: "‘Or maybe no dinner and I’ll just crawl into bed and sleep for the rest of my life.’" I have so felt like that! Hope you feel better soon!

Wonderfully sweet & touching. I liked both versions! I loved also the family togetherness of Elrond, Elrohir, Elladan + Aragorn.
