[QUOTE="donna723, post: 21810, member: 1883"] I don't know if I would have made it or not. I probably would have, I think. I was the one with all the ear infections and kidney problems though. This was back when doctors actually made house calls! I don't remember having anything really serious, just coming down with things, one ailment after the other. I was sick constantly from the time I was about four until I started school, and so skinny I must have looked a starving famine victim. My brother was a few years older ... he caught everything in school and then brought it all home and I got it! We got a lot of things that kids are vaccinated for now. We got mumps and chicken pox, and back then, kids got both kinds of measles so we had both of those too! And none of us ever got it, but I remember kids getting whooping cough when I was a child! When I was little, parents were terrified that their children would get polio ... I don't remember how old I was when they came out with the immunizations but I remember getting them. [/QUOTE]
