Older siblings bringing the "germs" home from school

Jen,
Did you take it when you started feeling sick and then take it for another week or two? That's what Mark usually does, takes it for an additional week or two so it doesn't come back with a vengence-like you said happened to you. Thats the downside to it sometimes is if you don't take it for long enough, you will get sick again and it will be worse than it was initially.

Thanks for the support, that was the idea I was trying to get at.

Maria,

I would for sure give your daughters teacher a bottle of Purell and also Clorox wipes!! My 3 year old is in preschool and at the beginning of the year i just explained to her teacher that her sister has cf and if she could just let me know if there is anything going around i would greatly appreciate it. I put a bottle of Purell in my daughters basket and use it when i pick her up and I also provided the teacher Clorox wipes.
Last week there was a bug with voimiting and diarriaha going around her school...NOONE in her class got sick and the teacher and I believe it was the b/c of use of the clorox wipes!!!!
You have to stand up for your little ones!!! Some teacher's will be jerks i am sure, but this has been the second year and 2 teachers that have used the wipes NO BAD BUGS~ just a few colds!! I will be providing these for all my girls school years to come!!

Good Luck,
Blythe
