I have to say that I am VERY envious of those of you with healthy kids.

When we picked up our son in Guat he was sick...upon arriving home he got sick often. I worked part time at a day care, so he went as well. He caught EVERYTHING that went around the classroom he was in. Typically if we went more than two days in a row, I knew he would end up sick. Over time, his ears kept getting infected and were filled with fluid, so he had tubes put in. The tubes helped tremendously. He still got sick, but colds didn't last as long and weren't as intense. He got stomach bugs all the time...he has had strep a couple times...he had fifths disease...He just doesn't have a strong immune system. He continues to get sick all the time even though I am now a SAHM.

My daughter on the other hand has a much stronger immune system. She does not get sick nearly as often and doesn't usually catch whatever Brayden has. However, when she does get sick, she does it good. She is just now getting over being sick for the last two weeks. It wasn't anything serious...just lasted FOREVER!!! We are still dealing with a remaining diaper rash.

So, both my kids are from Guat. One gets sick ALL the time and the other has a pretty strong immune system.
