The day his eye finally cleared up and he was fever free, LMW's eye got red and she spiked a fever. She had it for a week as well. We caught it too. Missed a Lotta work! </p> <p>Last spring we all got strep too. So with the big illnesses yes, but quite often one has a runny nose whIle the other is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-one-kid-is-sick-does-the-other-kid-usually-get-sick-too#post-1997570 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 22:59:40 +0000 autumnlove 1997570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, usually not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-one-kid-is-sick-does-the-other-kid-usually-get-sick-too#post-1997566 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 22:54:08 +0000 MamaBehr 1997566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! If the younger ones bring soemthing home, my oldest doesn't always get it. And, my oldest had a stomach virus in September and managed to only pass a very mild version of it to her brothers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-one-kid-is-sick-does-the-other-kid-usually-get-sick-too#post-1997565 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 22:52:02 +0000 mrbee 1997565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, our youngest is almost recovered from a runny nose and a cough... but our eldest seems totally fine. It seems improbable that he could avoid coming down with what she has though, since they're spending so much time together over the holidays!</p> <p>If one kid is sick, does the other kid usually get sick too? </p>
