Hey Luke,

Noah and I had a good talk about the importance of taking his antibiotics. Yes, it’s not ideal to take antibiotics every day, but it’s much safer (and cheaper) to take a little bit of antibiotics a day, versus develop the more serious infections that I’ve had…

Like this mouth infection I have right now. It’s truly been the worst infection of my life now.

A lot of the health problems I’ve had over the years (maybe the majority?) would have never have happened if I had just taken a little bit of prophylactic antibiotics every day…

Antibiotics don’t help the polyps I’ve had (and I’ve had lots of polyps in various places–Noah will definitely need a colonoscopy at a young age–), but antibiotics would have saved me from the crippling and months long (and sometimes years) of IV antibiotics because an infection got too bad before I got treatment, due to our immune disorder…

I know it’s a pain, I know it isn’t easy, but it will save you and Noah a lot of time, headache and money to take a little bit of antibiotics every day.

(And then more when he goes to the dentist.)
