he's got better for a couple days, and now he's sick again, this time it looks like Pneumonia. It's a good thing his mother is a doctor, otherwise they would have hospitalized him. He's much more comfortable at home, and my wife is perfectly capable of caring for him.
As for the questions about diet, my wife is from Bulgaria, a place that is just now starting to learn about fast food and frozen dinners. She was raised on healthy foods and has dabbled in vegetarianism, although thankfully for my sake, she has given that one up. We feed him Tons of fruit, yogurt, a little meat, a little bread, milk, and very occasionally, we take the store bought baby juices and mix them half/half with water. We do not allow him to eat any candy, undiluted juice, salty, or overly sweet food. We also try to eat mainly healthy food (I have lost 40 lbs since I started eating healthy food last June). We even stopped partaking in the caffeine addiction.
As for my boy, this is the third time he has been sick in a month, and we have pretty much given up on his current daycare (provider lets sick kids come as long as they aren't feeling bad outwardly... We are going to try one of those commercial type daycares that does educational stuff and has a zero-tolerance policy for sickness. If that doesn't work, I will just have to quit my job and we can wallow in debt for another year until my wife is done with her residency and starts making real money as a physician.
Thanks for all the kind replies and suggestions. I haven't dealt with pneumonia before, so I'll keep you all informed.
