DM I wasn't forever scared - until I had Immy who of course was at greater risk of contracting any illness.

I was careful though. I didn't take my babies out to big shopping centres, I was careful who handled them etc etc.

I think our society are a little bit lax about caring for children that have illnesses & keeping them from those that may not be sick. For example - people take their kds with colds out - spread those germs to those with low immunity, cancer etc... We live in a society where there is thought to be a "cure" for everything.

Sady a "cold" can kill someone having chemo, a premature baby etc etc ...

I think if we used more energy keeping our kids away from others when they are ill we weould have less contagious illnesses floating about.
