Sending chicken soup thoughts your way.
Alex fought a "doosey" all last week. I thought it had finally won but we
knocked it down finally without antibiotics (lots of Echinacea Root, Vit C,
liquids and sleep). Used to be 3-4 yrs ago there would have been NO winning
over it without medical help. It has seemed that his immune system is
finally strong enough to beat off some things now. I never thought we'd get
to this point frankly.
