YES, YES, YES! I'm hom from church AGAIN because my son had a fever of 103.5 this morning...again! I've not had a single week without at LEAST 2 children having a fever sometime during the week since my foster kids came in May! I'm santizing EVERYTHING and it's still not working. My mom keeps telling me, "You CAN over sanitize and then the kids can't build up their immune system. They NEED germs." Well, if exposure germs is what causes immune systems to build, they should take blood samples of us and then make vaccinations serums from it.

I was faithful with the vitamins for a month and then I kept forgetting it. So now I've bought probiotics to give to the family. I'm going to see if that helps in conjunction with the probiotics.

They told us in IMPACT classes to expect kids to get sick when they are moved to your home because the stress effects their immune system but after 5 months of this...come on! This is ridiculous! The kids are very adjusted to our home now, so I don't think that's it at all.
