Anyone else's children ALL have medical problems?

My dd1 is pretty healthy but she has estropia which is where the eyes cross. Her's is caused by muscles and she has to have surgery next month to correct it. If she does not have the surgery her brain will reject her left eye. Her brain already stopped using it to see unless we patch her right eye and I would hate for her to actually lose complete function of her left eye.

My dd2 has mild cerebral palsy that caused femoral anteversion so she has a hard time walking. She will be having casts put on her legs in October to help correct.

My ds has severe asthma and almost died back in December due to a very bad asthma attack and he was hospitalized. His medicines alone are over $100 a month to keep him from getting that bad ever again.

I have been told by a few family members that it's impossible that all my kids have problems and that I have made it up myself and coerced the doctor's into diagnosing them. I want to know if it is more common than I know of. Anyone else deal with all their kids having problems?

my son is pretty healthy but a friend of mine has healthy girls but unhealthy boys. He 7 yr old has hemophelia and a kidney problem and her 4 yr old has a heart condition and also is on bllod thinners which in effect make him a hemopehliac as well. Believe me, shes not making any of it up, both those boys have nearly died more times than any of us want to think about

Your family is crazy. All the things you mentioned have noticeable, quantifiable symptoms so you can't just "coerce" a doctor in to diagnosing them.

In any case, both my boths are sick. My older son is autistic and needs glasses.

My younger son has a serious CHD.
