"They catch everything when they first go to nursery"

Everyone keeps saying this. However, DS (13 months) has been going to nursery for 6 months now and is ill all the time. On average, he is ill once a fortnight. Since the beginning of September he's had a cold with a fever, a vomiting bug and HFM. He's been having a temperature on and off since Wednesday and we're currently in A&E for the second time in 24 hours (yesterday he had a rash, today his breathing is laboured). Surely this isn't normal?? It's so bad we can't plan anything and it's starting to impact our functioning as a family, never mind our finances. It won't be long before it starts impacting our performance at work too. When will this get better??

Update: DS has now been admitted to hospital with bronchiolitis. He is getting steroids and is on oxygen. I've read up on bronchiolitis, and can only conclude he has been extremely unlucky - he's not in the most susceptible age group and he has no other risk factors. Added to that, only 2-3% of children who get bronchiolitis need hospital treatment. Poor monkey really isn't wellSad

Oh I'm so sorry OP, my son got that (although didn't heed hospital treatment) what a horrible time for you all. I hope he is fighting fit again soon.
