Tell me it gets better

Drew is home sick again with a high fever. He never got over his last sickness. This is the second time in four weeks since he began daycare. I knew he'd get sick more often being in school but not this much in this short amount of time. I hope it gets better soon.

Well I don't know first hand bc I'm a SAHM mom but have you considered in the meantime that he is in daycare to look for an in home care provider or a nanny?

Before I became a teacher and through college I was a nanny for 2 families. And because I was an Early Childhood major, their upbringing was a lot different than say their friends or relatives. There are tons of upcoming teachers looking for those sort of positions and your LO can only benefit (if they're REALLY good) with the one on one contact.

Just a thought and that is the end of my novel....

P.S. I hope he gets better!! And poor mommy

I bet he will build up a resistance which I think is a good thing.  I never had this problem with DS and have yet to with DD but they were/are both at an in home daycare.  I am sure it will get better for you guys soon.

My dd was the same way for sadly a couple of years (not every week though), but now she is never sick.

I work for a Ped. and see this all of the time...I actually started noticing the same thing when I went back to work part-time and put my son in an in-home daycare.  He seemed to be sick every couple of weeks as well.  My ped. said, have you not noticed how often these kids come in here!?   Anyway, he'll build up a resistance after a year or so and then he'll never get sick, hopefully!!   I just don't know how you full-time working mom's do it b/c I would go nuts trying to figure out what to do when I was just working part-time!  I HATED having to miss work!  Good luck!

Honestly G was sick all.the.time the 1st year in daycare. I was at the pedi's office at least twice a month. I think it just takes time for them to build up a resistance b/c he hasn't been sick now for 6 months! So sorry. I hope Drew gets to feeling better.

Ditto pps.  T was sick ALL the time. I  felt so bad for her.  Now she hasn't been sick in a loooong time. (knock on wood as we get ready to leave for vacation!)

Oh my, I didn't realize it would be like that for a year or two. I know it will be good to build up a resistance, but at the same time it sucks. Thanks for your input.

My DS was always sick while he was in daycare but since I SAH now he hasn't been sick once. I really hope your LO gets better soon!

It gets better.  Addy was sick all the time in the beginning.  She has a great immune system now, even though we just went through another round of crap..

It sucks now, but his immune system will be iron clad later on.
