Lori, Sorry, I'm butting in again, but my daugher has Down Syndrome and she is chronically ill with colds/sinus infections/etc. and has a low immune system count confirmed by bloodwork every 6 months. She does take VITAMINS...I dont know if you can find them where your are from, but I give her a LIQUID vitamin called Poly Vi Sol...its made by Enfamil, they also make Tri Vi Sol (I think this is without Iron, but I cant be sure), It is made for infants and todders under the age of 4. If you can not find it where you are, I would be more than happy to pick up a bottle and ship it to you. I believe it's like 7.99 or so in US dollars. : Ryan will not drink milk if it is flavored. We have tried pediasure and it gets tossed back to us real fast. He will not eat chewable vitamins, although I am looking into seeing if there are liquid vitamins for kids his age. He is sick often. So often that I have been unable to take him in for his 18 month needle and he is now 32 months old. He almost always has a cold. Trying to find a doctor here is like looking for a needle in a haystack (oh great , I sound like my grandma now, lol). They are few and far between and the ones near by are swamped and not taking anyone new. There are a lot of alternative doctors around and we have even tried them but they are not for us. They are great for some problems but not conditions that require a medical practitioner or specialist ( Like my 13 year old, he has mastocytosis). They won't even refer you to the doctor you need. : Lori
