WHY ARE WE ALWAYS SICK?

[@karifobar5687]

I feel like when your kids are little they get sick all the time but then they build immunity and as teenagers and grown ups hardly ever get sick. Hang in there mama. You are doing a great job!!!

[@KatieVernon09]

Yes I read on average they come down with about 12 illnesses the first year of life! That’s about 1 per month and their first year was kind of stunted thanks to the world being shut down! Not surprising as things open back up they’d get a summer virus! Especially having people in their home renovating!

[@ineslopes5733]

That’s from daycare because of having a lot of kids together. Not the case here.

[@KatieVernon09]

@@ineslopes5733 what you’re talking about is “Daycare Syndrome” which yes does cause many illnesses, but it’s not like P&A stay home! They go to the park, they go to stores, they go to church (I wonder if Cassidy is in a daycare class, I know mine were at that age!) they are around friends, and probably top germ-y on the list, Cassidy has to have regular doctor appointments at a large medical facility!! Even SAH kids get quite a few illness! Especially when you live an active life with them!

[@laneldacaples8070]

You might consider getting tested for allergies. Living in the country gives greater exposure to a greater volume and variety of pollen. The fluid buildup and drainage from my allergies often lead to sinus, throat, and chest infections.

Your not use to Tennessee allergies and what is going on, another person who moved this winter to Nashville asked her doctor why everyone in the family was sick so much and the doctor said a lot of people have moved to the area and have come into the doctor with those same symptoms because their immune systems are going to catch up so next year things will be better. Most moved from California and they don’t have the same trees and things.

So true. They moved from no humidity west coast to our area. It's a 2 year process to at least build up some kind of immunity.

Please check your house. It could be just the ickies...but my in-laws house had mold (in AZ) so we never suspected mold. They had years of illnesses that seemed to be random. And nothing to do with mold. Since we found the mold and had it professionally cleaned, all their illnesses have stopped.

[@jackiehancock6258]

My kids were your kids ages in the 80’s and we really had the same problem. As did my sisters kids and most of my friends, I really think, looking back, it was their system getting geared up to build their immune system. My parents were happy (ish) we all got the childhood usual suspects, as they said it toughened us up germ wise. Please don’t be embarrassed, it’s much more common than you think, and maybe a lot of people like you, don’t talk about it much. You are great parents, I don’t wish their lives away but it gets better as they grow up. Just keep on keeping on! I live in Scotland, so colds and flue like symptoms are commonplace here, as our weather can fluctuate wildly, I like to watch you all as you send others with a young family a great message, don’t double guess yourself, you have no need to.🥰

Yes!! My son was premie and was sick with EVERYTHING. He is now almost 13 and rarely catches anything. Out of our four family members, only two caught COVID. My husband was sick, but he is a transplant patient and my 5 year old daughter, who is still building her immune system was also sick.

SA is in a bad third wave at the moment. I have to say, my kids used to get sick all the time. Turned out to be the tonsils!

Truly a miracle.

A doctor gave a recipe years ago and it helps A LOT. We have only used it for grown ups though. 2 inches of ginger, thinly sliced, and a tea spoon of turmeric, boiled in a quart of water for 10 minutes. Once you strain it you will get 4 cups that will last you a day.Then add a full table spoon of honey to each cup . We got used to the taste and it is wonderful for sore throat, congestion and cough. We live in Lima, Perú, where humidity in winter is normaly 98%. Trust me, it works.

@Misti Stallard, i've been watching them for years, i know that. My family is outside 24/7 as well and we are still low in vitamin D. We farm & fish and everything outside.

[@jennikens6915]

Don't ever feel embarrassed. It has nothing to do with your parenting skills why everyone gets sick. Unfortunately with big families it goes from 1 person to another until it runs it's course. Love you guys, hope you all feel better soon xxoxox

[@Kilaya02]

It sounds like Kinsley is done with the construction. Lol

[@els3823]

So much going around right now...and with multiple littles it just happens! So far we've had roseola, croup, and now a stomach bug. My kids are 8, 6, 2, and 9 weeks. My youngest is a premie too, so terrible timing for a sick summer! I hope you guys feel better soon and stay well!

[@KittehLiLMommi]

I find that once we started to watch our gut health and cut out all red meats and minimize our intake of white meats and we are not always sick anymore!

[@bakarangerpinku]

Prebiotics, too lol.

[@kaypowell407]

They eat healthy

[@louisel782]

Wishing you all well! Relax, stay hydrated, rest🙏🏼

[@andie361]

Hopefully you brought at least Cassidy to the doc? I have congenital heart issues and fever over 101 has always been an automatic trip to the ER. infection can settle right into the heart (especially after OHS)

[@lanis57]

Wow..this scared me really!!?hope she gets her to the dr..

[@lanis57]

@MENTAL HEALTH WITH BLUEBELLE rt! She was a nurse..so she must know🙏🏼

[@dearleah7299]

She’ll know when to take her in. She’s a nurse.

[@angelarogers3137]

We love you guys. We've all had sick kiddos. Don't feel emberrased. Lets just pray you figure out what the problem is

[@lavenderbutterfly2160]

Get well soon god bless you 🙏❤

[@staceykey9836]

We just got over respiratory illness. It’s going around. When you have littles ( our grandson lives with us part time) you get everything.

[@darlene6670]

It's going around everywhere, I am in SD... my two great granddaughters had it almost 3 weeks each!!! It is wicked! Can someone bring you some Pedialyte Freezer Pops, so they can get some electrolytes, or do you have some Gatorade you can make some yourself in the freezer.... just some thoughts....

[@annettekingsley7741]

Whatever bug it is it's going around in Texas

[@kirstymitchell2695]

Hope you are all feeling better soon. You guys work so hard and possibly are just run down. Summer sun will br with you soon and everyone will bounce back

[@catlady4799]

Have you been to the doctors, tested for covid? This is what it sounds like. Even the eye crust.

[@KrisWolf4]

Are they vaccinated?

[@andrea-rq1fe]

@@KrisWolf4 you can still get sick with a vaccine and their children are obviously too young for a vaccine. Lots of colds and flus are still out there, they didn't disappear.

[@KrisWolf4]

@@andrea-rq1fe I realize that, I meant mum and dad. I also realize that colds are still around. I live in a colder climate where sick season was in winter. A lot was because we weren't outside getting enough vitamin D. I can't remember my kids getting colds in summer, maybe a few times as they grew up rarely though!

[@andrea-rq1fe]

@@KrisWolf4 I meant no offense. :) I think I misread your comment. I thought it said, "they are vaccinated" not "are they vaccinated" implying they couldn't get sick if they were vaccinated. My other comment was actually meant to be directed to the other persons comment, sorry. I know cold weather too, I live in Winnipeg (aka Winterpeg), Canada. My kids take after me so even though summer colds are less common we've definitely had them.

[@KrisWolf4]

@@andrea-rq1fe I'm Albertan...nice to meet a fellow Canuck. I've been to Winnipeg briefly as a kid in summer. Winters are more brutal there. Have a good evening!

I loved watching little Cassidy slowly fall asleep haha so sweet

[@bathanytucker2701]

Poor Cassidy :( she looks miserable. Her symptoms sound more bacterial than viral.

[@debcarpenter8519]

Sounds like maybe RSV, which is hitting the southern states quite hard right now. Her cough sounds quite tight.

[@jaynewallace7891]

Alex is a nurse. I'm pretty sure that she knows when her children need a doctor.

[@bathanytucker2701]

@@jaynewallace7891ok buddy:) not here for a fight. I'm a family nurse practitioner and I can tell you it's very easy to misdiagnose your own family.

[@bathanytucker2701]

@@debcarpenter8519 it is certainly possible! Many symptoms can overlap

[@shaybatty3785]

@@jaynewallace7891 any cold symptoms need a covid test and yes they all should still see a dr.

[@doloreslee9330]

Aww don’t feel embarrassed little ones get sick that’s how the build up. I had an immune compromised child and we lived in the doctor office. I felt like people looked at me all the time. You’re a great mom. Just love on them ❤️❤️

[@colleencpc1]

Praying for y'all right now. I am in Madisonville, TN. I have 1 adopted child and 1 natural born child. I feel such a kinship, not just in that, but we are Christian's as well.

[@shawnafraley2134]

Don't be embarrassed. You are doing great and you aren't the cause of your family getting sick. Hope you all feel better soon.

[@ChristinaLConway]

Let me guess... It's always within a couple weeks of "well checks". Has a home been checked for MTHFR?!

[@samuelymirianamaya1902]

With the tongue tied and the heart defect that is my take on it too.

[@missdaisy5736]

Oh shucks! Somehow these summer viruses and/or germs just seem to be getting in the way for people this year. I hope Kinsley, Callie, Cassidy, mommy and daddy all get better soon🤗❤️🌻🙏

[@susanb2409]

You must have been near someone who was sick or about to show symptoms. There are some tough colds going around right now. Anyone been tested for COVID variant to assure its not that, but looks more like a cold to me.?

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Awww, I’m so sorry you all are sick, I hope for a quick recovery for your family. It’s always worrisome when babies get sick, poor little Cassidy. 💙♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🌹
