thanks so much for all your responses. i honestly had no idea how much all of this can vary. i am glad to hear others are having a similar experience to mine thus far. for those having a more difficult time, my prayers are with you. obviously, it could be my family in that boat in the future. i definitely wish my son did not have this, and when he throws up or has a fever, i just hold my breath as we all do. take care and thanks again!!
