Oh I sympathise!weve just had our first one here for the year,I'm not sure about what happens with it all etc but my daughter went to Kindy last year well I've never been so sick in my life we had gastro so badly a few times and we had constant colds and flu then hand foot and mouth then she got phnemonia mild but still we then pulled her out as she was going Monday and Tuesday and every week by the Thursday we'd all be sick again no one could believe it !saying that she's started school this January and there's been heaps of gastro and flu and she's only had one cough so maybe they eventually build up an immunity?its awful though we went through poor hell last year and I'm sorry you are having a bad run too poor little guy .i saw a lot of sick kids while I was there and I suppose some parents just have to work etc so don't even mention that there child has been sick I don't mean that in an awful way as I thought at the time if I worked when dd was sick constantly last year I'd never be there!so hard one day I as up there and I saw so many green snotty nosed kids and the carers just wiped there noses and didn't wash there hands and one child had bad diarehoa in the toilet and wasn't even flushed eww saying that I think some are better than others my cousin is a child care mum and she is very strict on gastro they have to stay away the 24 hours etc
