Cold season

Well, Paul seems to have started the cold virus once again. He and Kimberly seem to constantly fighting it off. He's pretty versed now into what he needs to do, so I just have to superdose Kimmy and then give everyone else their "armor" to keep them from getting it. Years ago I stumbled into this immune booster for kids called "Sea Buddies." Works like a charm and the kids will eat the tablets without complaint. I feed to them like candy if they are actually sick and just one a day if there is something going around. That and the Zicam works very well to keep their symptoms mild...as long as I jump on it. Poor Kimberly's immune system is always on overload due to her urticaria pigmentosa, so she does tend to fall prey to everything that comes her way. She had the worse case of chicken pox I'd seen in all the kids...inside her mouth, eyelids, yuck! Though due to her age she didn't rub or scratch and has no marks to show for it! Not like Lauren who had a moderate case, but the pox got to be the size of one's thumbnail, became infected and she has scars all over her abdomen because of the infectious pus leaching out onto her skin..that was even yuckier! The poor child will never get to wear bikinis (maybe that is a good thing?!).
I can tell I am fighting it off due to the tiredness factor and waking up with mucus. Moms can't get sick though, right?
Hope everyone in your households stay well!
God bless!
