Nursing a sick kid from 900 miles away - any hints?

<p>Patient- one of the original founder’s of Odwalla was a Stanford grad.
Emeraldkity- my husband swears by emergen-C. One a day and extra when one of the kids is sick. Not as tasty as Odwalla.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry. I’m from California and I forget not everyone knows what C Monster is ;-). My kids like the Strawberry C Monster. They also suck on Cold-eez, mostly cherry flavor (zinc lozenges). Thanks for the information about its Stanford connection ;). Another wealthy Stanford entrepreneur, I guess!</p>

<p>I swear by Airborne. There is a new pink grapefruit flavor available at Trader Joe’s that is the best yet. Whenever one of the kids gets sick, I start taking it once or twice a day, also when I go on an airplane or into a movie theater in cold season, etc. So far it has worked perfectly.</p>

<p>And oh dear, I guess I AM a helicopter mom. Or a train mom.</p>

<p>I just sent my daughter who is 23! a care package
shampoo and conditioner ( it was on sale)
b- stress vitamins
vitamins for brain support ( EFAs)
sleep blend supplements ( with calcium and magnesium)
a battery operated light for her clothes ( she rides a bike)
chocolate for valentines day
socks with seastars on them
lip balm
an extra towel ( to take up room in the box)
plus I could have just brought that stuff down cause we are seeing her on saturday ;)</p>
