Some kids just have to get everything in order to develop their immune system. Some more than others. Micah's immune system is growing right now. It will get better as he gets older. We have to develop antibodies to germs and that's what's happening right now. It sucks, but is just the way it happens.
Some kids are luckier or just naturally have a hardier immune system and they don't have to get sick so many times. There's some schools of thought that we should let these illnesses run their course without antibiotics so the child will build more antibodies. I know when my daughter was little, the doctor would not give her antibiotics unless she had a temp of 103
I guess it worked though, she took very few antibiotics and she's pretty healthy now. However, with our super bugs, sometimes antibiotics are a must!
I agree Judy, one breath at a time!
