Our daughter has been sick twice (colds), and our son four times (3 colds + scarlet fever). And this is just since the new year! Bee and I got sick 3x between us, so it's been a miserable year health-wise.
How many times have your kids been sick this year?

She has had a constant runny nose and cough. Small colds back to back to back. Nothing with a fever yet though.

Twice! Just one terrible stomach bug and one minor cold. I am calling that a successful kick off to 2015. Last year by this time we had had some pretty severe stuff sweep through our house, so this doesn't feel so bad. *knocking on wood!!!!!*

knock on wood - none!
one cold for J last fall, one for me in the fall and once for DH at the beginning of the year.
we don't get colds often though!

Maybe twice in January---but it's hard to say because LO, like me, gets a cold and it lingers for 2-3 weeks. So she and I passed a cold back and forth for at least 3 weeks. Then she got better for a week, then threw up and had a fever the week after.

Just once for all of us - colds. DH's cold turned into a sinus infection, though.

Since November, D's had 3 rounds of antibiotics for ear infection. He got IV fluids in the ED last week for dehydration from a stomach bug. And he's basically had a cough and/or runny nose since September. Oh, and he's getting his 2-year molars, so he's extra-super-pleasant!

She's had pink eye twice and now has some sort cold thing going on but she's still spunky.

Once...this past week. We caught what I call the plague at either a birthday party or the grocery store. The twins woke up 10 mins apart throwing up repeatedly, once down my shirt. Then, DH & I caught it. Complete misery. And one now has her first ear infection.

Both kids are sick right now. DH and I are just starting sickness #2 in 2015.

All of the times! He has had an ear infection (or back to back to back to back ear infections) since before Christmas. We are getting ear tubes next week. He has also had an on and off cold since then.

2x! A cold in January and we took her into today suspecting infection and she had double ear infection. Lame.

twice each in 2014, and nothing yet this year -- so thankful that we've been having mild weather.

None. Though probably because I SAH so we don't have as much exposure to illnesses and also it hasn't been too cold for very long.

More than i can already count. DD had double ear infections this week, which came with horrible diarrhea. DS got sent home today for throwing up. We're thinking possible food allergy, because he also got sent home from daycare last week for one incident of vomiting/diarrhea at the same time. DD had an awful stomach bug the week before that, and the previous week to THAT DS had fever, coughing, vomiting.
We lose.

DD started the year off with a fever and had a cold this week
DS#1 and DS#2 had a cold this week
DH and I both have this cold, it is a deceptively mean little virus!

It's been never ending since September. Right now, after dealing with RSV, we are finally seeing the light a little... hopefully. Please may it be.

This is LO's first winter in daycare, so it's been pretty consistent since November. I think she's been healthy for 2-3 weeks (not in a row) since then. I can't wait for spring.

We all got 1/2 a cold. Meaning sick but not sick enough to stay home. I am so thankful because we tend to get sick a lot. It's weird though- for 2 or 3 years in a row we have been healthy Jan Feb and Mar.

Just once. But it was an allergic reaction so not sure if it counts. She threw up a bread loaf.

We had a rough start to 2015 but still trying to stay positive and look on the bright side even though it's so hard!

Not really sick, but she swallowed a penny last night. At the ER for an xray just to make sure it's going to pass through her system!

Not at all yet- crossing my fingers!
He had a bit of congestion a week or so ago but it only lasted a day or two and wasn't like a real cold

Just once, last week, and it was the first real time she's been ill in her 10 months (besides little colds and once a fever that lasted literally 2 hours). Poor girl was so unhappy, but I'm amazed it was the first time especially since she'd been in daycare since October!

None this year. I'm really surprised with LO1 because he started preschool this year. I'm sure he is exposed to a lot more germs but has only been sick once and not enough to take a day off of school.

Started daycare Jan 19th and has basically been sick since then! Also picked something up a plane in early Jan that resulted in a double ear infection. So one major illness with fever, loss of appetite, and everything else, and a series of minor coughs/colds. Even though its only been a month I can tell he's already becoming more resilient to the little illnesses, which is nice!

I get to update my earlier answer to this thread. Twice now for both kids! 
Grrrr. I started taking DS to gymnastics class and also watching another little boy once a week and think they must be picking up colds from the increased exposure.
