[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for all the very good advice even the mold poster. I spent yesterday doing a very deep clean of the house, washing couch cushions, and cleaning out the windowsills from old crud. We do a deep clean once a month and then a regular clean weekly with a cleaner. I'm thinking I might start supplying the supplies for the cleaner and using our house vacuum.

I bought probiotics and vitamins for my son, his pediatrician is retiring, and so he's going to get a new one anyway.

I am replying to this PP. I know what a CBC is, but I'm not sure what to ask for with the other ones. Can anyone explain what this means? And yes, I did all vaccines but rotavirus because my son could not have live vaccines for the first year, I took Humira. I volunteer at my son's school and saw him PUT A LEGO PIECE in his mouth!!! Agh. I need to work more with him 1-1 about hygiene but don't want to give him anxiety.

CBC
Lymphocyte subset panel
IgM, igg, igA levels
Pneumococcal 23 panel ( do not skip this one)
Check titers to things like mmr and varicella assuming you did vaccines to see if they even worked. <---- yes we did vacccines, all except rotavirus.[/quote]

I didn't read the whole thread but also know people whose kids have many absences, sometimes due to illness and others due to mental health. The school doesn't really do much about excessive absences in elementary or middle school, so I don't think you need to worry about it from them filing anything. I'm sorry about the sick time as that sounds so tough. Are there any options for back up care if it is a mild illness so you don't have to take off for every one?

For the wanting to work with him 1:1 about hygiene, I would check out some of the books online for explaining germs to kids. Some are more science based and others more comical. We used the the Germs Are Not for Sharing when kids were much younger. The reoccurring illnesses are so tough. [/quote]
