Ohhh I could write much of your post right now! I have been beyond overwhelmed myself with one kid who has been sick for six weeks straight and another who has been sick nearly continually since the last week of October. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

It is NOT your fault. Heather is so right when she says we love to feel pride and accomplishment when our vigilance and compliance 'works' to keep them healthy... But then when it all falls apart- it leaves us feeling shattered. It's the nature of the beast. We can only do what we can do. Now to apply that to myself, which is so much harder...
