Annie,

I'm late with this reply as well. I know real well the helpless feeling you get when your children are sick. It makes it even harder to give them the room they need to grow. I've wrestled a lot with everyone of my kids over that very thing. All you can really do is teach them right from wrong, good from bad, and hope that they are never in the wrong place at the wrong time. Parenting isn't an easy job, but it has some wonderful rewards.

I'm really glad your little one is OK, and I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Greg
