Happy New Year Brit! I hope you are looking forward to 2008 being a much better year. I have faith in your abilities to do that.
My H has been sick for 3or4 weeks now and won't go to the doctor either. H starts feeling a little better and then he gets worse again. I am starting to think he has no immune system left. Hopefully your W and my H will decide they are tired of being sick and see a dr.
You really are a great dad. I can't imagine my H taking care of the Ds for a week now let alone at your Ds age.
