What are the Kids doing Today

[jo_nz]

I think the kids are still worn out from the weekend (had their uncle's 40th birthday Sat night and they were up until nearly midnight!!).  DD disappeared off to her room while I was cooking tea tonight, and we thought she was playing, but went in to see her and she had put herself to bed - fully dressed, but under the blankets and snuggled up to her caterpillar soft toy.  Awwww, too cute.

DS is also really overtired but he shows it by being emotional and very difficult.

that's very cute Jo, my boys are the same when overtired but my girls would just go to sleep
the boys are doing homework and Lily is resting on the couch which is pretty much all she's done today and me too since she likes to snuggle a lot when not well

Thanks Kim she's picked up a bit so the antibiotics are starting to work,
 I really hope this isn't going to be one of those years where sickness prevails any tips for boosting immune systems I will be forever grateful xxx

Probiotics.. Especially after antibiotics.. Its the main thing i give my kids and still give them and they are rarely sick as well of course a healthy diet.. .. For the past few years we have mainly used homéopathic remedies from an md with gréât success.. Works for us..

Thanks Kim they have a probiotic daily it's always ear nose and throat issues with my 4 we have a healthy diet lots of sunshine etc problem is one gets a cold they all do so something so simple can go on for months and literally do my head in )

Have you seen a specialist?? My ds saw a specialist after constant problems and he suggested the removal of his ananoids and he has been fine since.. Think he only had one minor ear infection after and nothing else since.. Its been a few years now.. Maybe something to look at..would def see a specialist to see what your options are.. Its not fun for them to be ill and ear nose and throat probs CAN be painful as u know

Some kids are prône more than others.. Ds was shocking.. It was practicalky all the time but dd had a few then nothing.. Ds had to have surgery as it was getting to be too much...

Ashton is going to a pediatrician about his giant tonsils hopefully they'll be coming out and next Dr's appointment will see about Lily's ears the other 2 aren't as bad they pretty much catch the cold still annoying though

I wish i had all my things..they are in storage.. Every time any
Of us got colds even a snifflé we would take this mix of liquid echinacea (not the commercial stuff but a mixture prepared by a homéopathique chemist) mixed with a couple of other plants.. Was better than any other cold remèdy out there but i dont have our médical files with us..sorry.. Loved our gp.. She was really good and knew what worked and what didnt..

was thinking about a naturopath they have vitamin c daily but would love other options too Thanks so much for the advice its greatly appreciated I'm going to find one near me and see if it helps really hoping you get some luck soon so you can start your new life in Australia

[Frozzie]

Thx Suzanne .. Look also if there is a gp who also is a homeopathe.. I would go with a homéopathic gp over a naturopath unless they were really good??

[*suzanne*]

Hope Lily is feeling better, Suzanne. 
Just got home from taking miss3 to the doc - apparently she has inflamed tonsils, enlarged glands and a double ear infection.  No wonder the poor child hasn't been herself.
