Spring: season of family sickness

We've been inhabited by sickness for over more than a month. Mostly kids are the ones that are affected for their school and activities but sometimes we the parents have gotten sick as well. It's just a chain of sickness after sickness.

It started off from 3 years old getting something likely hand-foot-mouth. Then both parents having severe sore throat and fever, days of migraine. Kids' lingering coughs, sometimes resulted in vomit. and comes a week of hiatus, then a baby getting flu A, and now the entire family is getting a stomach bug that 3-yr started off.

Kids going to school is always the most suspected source. But with 3rd baby's first birthday approaching, I noticed there's a pattern about our health problem: It's always Spring where the entire family suffer from terrible, lasting for weeks, and sometimes series of multiple different, sickness. For the previous 2 times we were in Sacramento, CA, then now in the state of Georgia where pollen and allergy seem to be as bad as no-Cal, if not worse. We're unsure whether or not the allergy affects the sequence of sickness we've been getting though.

Back in 2019 where our 2nd son AK was a baby, he already stayed overnight at a hospital, and  I remember I was lethargic for almost the entire month of May.

For the 1st son HG, it doesn't look like we blogged about family's health status as frequently as we do now, but I do remember the first 1.5 years after he was born, we took HG to ER repeatedly for respiratory-induced problems, then I remember I got sick very often, which is indicated in this post in early 2017.
