I read through your replies, and will try to describe my son a little better. The sicknesses usually come in late fall and winter, when it is cold. The medication prescribed by the doctors has been, amoxil-for strep, biaxin for pnemonia, and augmentin previously. My son is real easy to get along with. He like to be first and best in everything - we do not incurage that, it's just the way he is. He loves to play video games and go swimming (though do to his ilness he is not signed up for swimming this year) He loves to play with his friends - he is caring and if you yell at him or make him feel back he will often start crying. His worst dislike of for SourCream - he can't even look at it. He does not have any allergies. Mentally he is pretty sharp - and always has been. He plays piano can read in English and in Russian and in general loves his school and school work. He get happy and excited when we sit down to do any projects. Both my husband and I work - he does miss us - and always asks me if I would spend the day with him. he has wonderful nany who lives with us - he loves her very much. It is hard to pin point specific behaviour or mental issues with my son, because he is a problem free child - he is obidient and he is happy. He has the same ups and downs as all his peers.
He is a bit overweight according to me - When the doctors measured him he was always at 95% of all kids and the doctor was always happy with his progress. He has big blue eyes, that can convince you of anything. He has durty blond hair-from his father. His nail are fine - no spots on them. He has a mole (very small and flat) of his cheeck and a few on this body. His vision is fine. He does not perspire on the scalp, and he doesnot have a need for fresh air or open window at night. His stool is fine it is hard and regular - No problems in that area - he goes about every two days. He does however constant itches his but and asks me to make sure it is clean. He also scratches is sking on this legs - it seems to be a bit dry - I use regular cream, but it still itches him. It may be because it is dry in our house from the heat in the winter. My son has a fear of being alone and a fear of the dark. He has nightmares at time and talks in his sleep, but when I wake him up he sais he doen't remember anything. Just one last point - he is great at analyzing situation - way above his age level.
