It's always hard to see your kids sick. I remember when my daughter had croup for the first time. It sounds horrible! Even now she will wake up about twice a year not able to breath and panicing. It's so hard to watch... and I understand that when we suspect another child has brought the horrible illness into our house we get upset!

Honestly, kids are usually most contagious before they even show any signs of illness. That's the sucky part. They're sick before you can even act on it.

If I refused care for my runny nose girl I would have lost her for 2 months! Some colds just hang on and on and on.

I hope your son is feeling better soon.
