YIKES when my kids were small and all sick at the same time, and only having three it was soooo hard especially when they all had the stomach virus at the same time I thought the days and nights would never end and when they were sick all they wanted was mom and dad not each other so I cannot imagine. . Even still now as recently as this past June we were not having hot weather here yet and my ds Tommy 21 years old decided to go swimming in the water in our summer home in Connecticut while my dd's decided to wear their wetsuits he did not. So long story short he was freezing in the water and 2 days later got one of the worst colds, very high fever, chills, aches, very sick dizzy throwing up .I went with him to the doctor and he was put on the 5 day zpac, but he was very sick. I stood home from work for 3 days to care for him and all he wanted was his mom. So I guess my point is even at 21 years old they still need their moms and dads. Also I cannot imagine when the Duggar kids are sick, they have to make each other sick and who one mom can do all that. Sorry to go off topic but any of us here who are moms and have more then 2 children know how hard it is to care for multiple sick children... Peace. Catherine
