need to vent....

Kate tested positive for strep today. Yesterday she had a stomach bug and vomited non stop from 4-5:30 am. This kid can seriously not catch a break when it comes to her health!
What I really need to vent about though is that I have done EVERYTHING in my power to help her be healthy and I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall. I breastfed for almost 3 years, she eats a very healthy balanced mostly organic diet, gets good exercise each day, gets 12 hours sleep every day, takes immune boosting supplements and vitamins and was taught proper hand washing (and has done it) before most kids are even allowed in the bathroom alone! I know it is just the luck (or lackthereof) of the draw but it is still frustrating. I can't let myself get too frustrated though - imagine how sick she would be if we didn't do all of these things.
And I don't mean to make it seem like she is SO sick. I'm thankful everyday that her illnesses have never been severe. I'm just frustrated and hate seeing her constantly not feeling well and feeling helpless.
I'm not really looking for advice and I know we are doing all of the right things and there is no magic bullet so thanks for letting me be mad at no one inparticular!

I hope she feels better soon.

The cycles of illnesses are no fun, some kids are just more prone to illness than others. We've had the stomach flu in our 3x this year...we feel lucky when we have straight weeks of health in our family.
