    part of his immune system. just like some get rashes easier and some get colds. all it is a bad cold. my son has had it 2 times each winter since he was born. he turns 3 in NOV so at least one more time before he turns. but my oldest daughter and my youngest never get it. it is just something that happens. it is how he reacts to a cold brought into the house from somewhere out there.
