My 9-year-old son had his tonsils and adenoids removed last December. He has tested positive for strep twice since then, once in May and again recently. Is this too frequent, and could it indicate an immune deficiency? What should I do to help prevent recurrent strep infections?

My husband moved out and is living with another woman. He's a drug addict and has been making bad decisions increasingly. He's been gone for 2 months. I believe his habit has much to do with his poor decision making. He says he's open to working things out with me and hasn't asked for a divorce, but he hasn't gone to a single counseling session with me. Should I give him a little time to get back on track or is this situation hopeless?
