[tri-med] Re: pneumonia

  Mimi,

  I guess what I meant was that in spite of all of Caroline's issues, she
has never been sick at all.  Not even a case of the sniffles!  And, my
husband and toddler have both been sick with colds so it's not that she
hasn't been exposed to anything!  So, in that respect, we are
lucky........it could have been worse!??.....
