Kelly and Terri, thank you so much for the advise! It’s the worst thing in the world to see your little ones get sick! I just hate it. part of this fallen world. just think, no more tears or sickness… come soon Lord!

Katie – The best book EVER on raising healthy children is “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor.” Written by a pediatrician, sooooo much wonderful advice. I almost Never give any kind of aspirin because a fever is actually helping your child get better. Such a huge misconception about fevers. I have 8 children and have been to the doctor 1x in about 4 years (not trying to brag – they have all been sick before but we don’t go to the doctor unless it is an emergency.)

Kelly – the pictures are absolutely beautiful! You are so incredibly blessed.

Katie,

Funny, that is still a hard decision for me! I usually give it several days and only go if I know there’s infection (fever, yucky nose, etc.) that I can’t get to clear up. Most common infections/colds will clear up on their own and can be treated effectively at home.

I’ll try garlic oil in the ears if I think there’s an infection there. With little ones, the main thing I think is watching for congestion in the lungs. You don’t want that to go on very long if you suspect bronchitis or something.

But the other stuff, I try to let it runs its course keeping them comfortable with basic home treatments. (Besides the garlic vapor rub, steam, motrin for fever, etc.)

Lovely!
My eleven year old happened along as I was reading this, remembered the site and said, “How many more days till their baby comes?”
They love that counter on the sidebar.
