I like knowing that we were not giving meds that were not needed.

We have had them since our oldest son entered his special preschool. Sigh. Literally, someone in this house has been sick since 11/5/08. It’s not been little runny noses either. However, due to really educating myself, we have gotten to stay out of the doctor’s office almost completely and when we did go it was no antibiotics but to get help with a symptom that was just unmanageable.

My youngest has developed even more allergist/intolerances. We are now seeing cow’s milk, soy (even tiny traces), any type of wheat or oat. Yeah. At least that last one is easy for us around here. But he, unlike his brother, can’t cheat or the red cheeks come and it just gets worse.
