Really prone to crying, upset really easily. Benjamin had a rather difficult start to life, too. I think that is something that you don't get over very easily. And then, we you start to feel sick, I would think it would make you panicky. But you can't talk about it, so you cry. And cry and cry and cry. And wail. And cry some more...Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-3059675172241235332013-01-17T09:24:14.381-05:002013-01-17T09:24:14.381-05:00Oh the Traditional Medicinals tea line...love it! ...Oh the Traditional Medicinals tea line...love it! Sorry that you guys have been so sick! That sounds miserable. I had pneumonia when I was two and actually remember being put in that little contraption and my mom walking out of the room. It was a recurring nightmare I had for years. I walked into a radiology lab about ten years ago, saw the thing and started shaking. So there you go. Hopefully Benjamin will not be equally traumatized :) I think about that with chicken pox all the time. I remember when ever kid got them, now it is so rare. That being said I don't have a lot of memories of having the flu when I was a kid. I wonder if our increased global travel has exasperated the rates of flu epidemics.

Sometime between my birth and when I can remember, my parents put a bathroom in. However, my friend Bernadette was about 16 before her parents did the same. This was not because we lived in a primitive time without indoor plumbing, because it was weird not to have a bathroom. It was just the logistics of doing it on remote farms, where you have to build a septic tank system, and where the water comes from a cistern or well and not from a town's culinary water system. Actually, even my mother grew up with indoor plumbing, while my dad did not. Same issue: town versus remote farm. Just to clarify.Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-53651730128351271152013-01-17T03:15:02.939-05:002013-01-17T03:15:02.939-05:00Oooh, be careful with Tamiflu!

Not to scare you, but that stuff made Miriam vomit like crazy and <a href="http://myadventuresintucson.blogspot.com/2009/11/tamiflu-swine-flu-and-you-well-me.html" rel="nofollow">it made Magdalena cry for a week</a>. I know all kids can have different reactions to medicines but I am against Tamiflu if it can be avoided.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.com
