[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 131501, member: 87"] Hi Jo, I wanted to let you know that bronchitis can be "caught". Last year Melissa and I got it from her best friend and best friend's mom after we were at their house. The following is from the Mayo Clinic website: ** Acute bronchitis in otherwise healthy people is typically caused by a viral infection, and viral infections can be spread from person to person through direct and indirect contact. You can reduce your risk of "catching" bronchitis through careful hand washing or the use of hand sanitizers. ** As far as difficult child's not taking care of themselves, I see the same thing in Melissa. She will be sick and still go out to the bars with her friends. However, she still goes to work sick. Also, she's been having bleeding gums. The dentist gave me a prescription mouth rinse for her to use (I was at the dentist for my cleaning and told him about her). She used it for 3 days, then quit. She said she "doesn't remember" to use it. Her bleeding gums, her problem. And she spent $60 on ProActiv for the acne on her forehead and only used it a few days. Her money. Oh well. I guess I just think taking care of themselves will come with maturity. I remember when she was in middle school(?) or maybe it was elementary when she wouldn't take showers. After deciding she wanted to take them, she started taking 1-2/ day! Hugs, sue [/QUOTE]
