We've all been where you are... where that rollercoaster ride starts as soon as you hear of the slightest symptom!
But, once he's gotten sick a few times and recovered like everyone else, you start to relax a bit.
I don't think the question 'Is it a flare?!' will ever completely leave your mind but, it becomes much easier to watch and wait a bit before true panic sets in!!

Until this year, I don't think S has gotten sick more often than anyone else. A few months after starting remicade, one of his roommates contracted mono and had to leave school! S was fine... He's been around lots of sick friends while at school (and, there is NO ONE there to disinfect! :lol
and he's been good. And, if he did get sick, he recovered as normally and quickly as anyone else. (It's only been this year that he seems to have had a number of issues??? Not sure why??).
Glad your son is already feeling better!!
