Oh no! How awful! I'm sorry to hear of this, Heather. Dangn't! It just doesn't seem fair at all. Poor little thing. Take care, honey, I know it's so hard when our children our sick.

Boooo! She's sick again?? Poor Kenna she needs a break - as I'm sure you all do too. At least though if it's just a cold she could get much better before Christmas. She hasn't had her tonsils out yet has she? I remember when my one brother was younger he was getting sick all the time and the doctor said that wouldn't happen so much if he had them out. I don't know how valid that is, but just thought I'd ask - though that's a pretty tough ordeal too.
Well I hope you all find some serenity soon and that she gets better really quick! HUGS!!

Poor thing...Give her big hugs.She's gotta be tired of seeing that stinkin doctor!
Hey have they considered it some sort of asthma? My 6 year old had pneumonia in August then had a bad bout of coughing in October. They gave him inhalers and said it may be asthma. He just started couging again yeterday. I feel the same way you do. It never ends. I do, however, have the inhalers to use in case it gets to be a bad flare up again.
Good luck to you and Kenna at the doctors. Let us know.

Well Rich does not want me to take her to the doc's yet! He said it is just a cold and to give otc meds! He said unless she gets a fever or it doen't get better by wednesday We should just wait and see!! I hate this!!I never know when to take her to the doc's and when not to  ! I didn't take her once thinking it was just a cold and she a double ear infection and a upper respitory infection! Ever since then I am parinoid! Thanks for all the thoughts and love!! I will do a grandparent update later! I have another one sick now!!!

Heather,
I understand just what you mean. My two older children were sick all the time as kids. I never knew when to take them to the doc, either and had the same thing happen as you. They'd have ear infections when I didn't suspect it, and they wouldn't have, when i thought sure they would!
I'm using the Zicam for adults right now and it really seems to be helping my cold. I noticed on the box that they have some for children now, too. It's swabs that you just rub inside the end of their little noses, so there's nothing yucky to swallow. I'm using the adult swabs right now, and I love it. I still have symptoms, but nothing like the full fledged cold it would be if I weren't taking this stuff.
Maybe it can help Kenna??
Hope she's better soon!

My boyfriend has severe asthma and allergies at times. It's like it comes in cycles. He does get fevers from his allergies and asthma, something I didn't know was possible. He also throws up and has severe coughing spells. I was so scared when it happened this spring! He was sick for 3 solid weeks with the fever and throwing up and everything else. We finally did go to the doc and he said it was a severe flare up. He's had it since he was very small.
Oh yeah..did I mention we will give birth to the boy in the bubble?

Sending huggs to Kenna (With a face mask on, I don't want to catch it!  )

Oh Heather, the poor little sweetheart.
Can I ask a personal question? Did Kenna have a difficult birth? My friend has her own princess who is 5 and is ALWAYS sick and she met someone who said that often if kids have difficult births they find it hard to build up immune systems. My friend is bringing her little princess to a homeopath to see what he can do for her, she gets colds, tummy bugs, chest infections and kidney infections. She missed 13 days school since Hallowe'en.
I think that too many antibiotics are a bad thing and that her little body probably needs a rest from them.
Hugs,

I know what you mean. Madeline has been sick so much since school started, She has been sick 2 or 3 times in the last 8 weeks and it's so hard for her to stay away from her baby sister. I wish I had homeschooled her again this year.

If it's any consolation my son is stuffed up and coughing again too! He's been that way on and off since August! The doctor told me daycare kids are like that!. I am taking him tomorrow for his second dose of the flu shot. Now they have more. I think I might have them check his ears too just in case!!!! LOL

Thanks to the wonderful time difference I'm always the last to post (or is it the first-lol). I hope Kenna's feeling better. I know how you feel about the whole doctor thing. I might as well move into my doctors surgery. Save me the almost daily drive. I'm sure you'll know if it's time to take her to the doctor and as far as not knowing when to most of the time it's hard to tell with little ones. They scream the same for middle ear infections and a stubbed toe! Hope all the sick people you know are feeling a bit better (and you're not getting too stressed! Don't need you sick too). See you around the boards and let us know how they're all doing.

Hi there,
I know I am a little late as all seems to be a bit better now, but I just wanted to send some hugs your way as it seems like you (and your little girl) have been through so much recently!!
Hope the rest of your holiday season goes alright and you and your daughter can feel fine and enjoy everything!!
Talk to you soon, I hope!!
*hugs*
