DD has been sick with some virus or another 6 times in as many weeks. She keeps getting one thing after another and all of them hit her hard. Her brother has picked up 2 of her bugs, I've picked up one, and dh just gave her the current ick she has. In the past she has only gotten sick an average of once or twice a year. I don't know what is causing her to come down with all of this. We haven't made any major diet changes, activity changes, or scenery changes. No daycare, no playgroups, no indoor playgrounds or jungle gyms. Just home, running errands, and the park a few times in the last couple weeks since the weather has been better.
It began with a head cold, just when she was on the tail end of that another started, after that she jumped right into stomach flu with vomiting for 24 hours, then just when that was ending high fevers followed by more nasal issues, then an ear infection (she nor her brother have EVER had an ear infection prior), more stomach troubles, impacted colon, and now another virus that has come with really high fevers and a sore throat.
Prior to this most recent illness that began 2 days ago she was checked for strep, kidney infection, apendix trouble (back when she had the severe stomach pain), and all were neg or normal. She is vaxed (for everything routine except CP) but, has not had any recent vax.
Is this just a case of bad timing when she comes into contact with something while her immune system is down from something else? This is so unusual for her and causing her a lot of stress. I have a pretty terrible immune system and I'm not even picking up half of this stuff from her... which is odd. Whats the deal??
