The two older ones don't have their tonsils anymore, but still have a lot of throat problems.

I am just a worrier though. I always think there is something more serious going on.

He had a few rounds of penicillin and then did eventually get Zithromax and that kicked it for good. Sounds like you may have an allergy to penicillin yourself? I'm allergic to it, but my kids aren't. I'm surprised to hear that they still get throat problems without their tonsils. Poor babies

I know you are worried. I would be too, but strep can just be a hard thing to kick sometimes and complications are pretty rare.

Get a lot of popsicles. I usually buy Mighty Minis (they are just really small popsicles) when they have throat issues so I can pass them out pretty liberally. It's their sick "treat" and always makes them feel better

When Joey had it, it never went away. His pedi said it was not unusual for someone to get it, take meds for it, it go away, and then come back. With Joey, no matter what meds he was on, it never went away.

They probably need to go a step further and get their adenoids removed??? I know with my sister, she had recurrent strep and first had her tonsils removed and still had problems until they removed her adenoids as well. Then she was fine.

I am rushing around like a lunatic (as usual) but wanted to jump in real quick.

Jen - sorry DD isn't doing well my DD is also allergic to penicillin (as am I) and she has had a couple times that we couldn't clear her ear infections with oral antibiotics and ended up doing 3 day rounds of rocephin injections. It's not fun, but clears the infection right up!

Hope everyone feels better soon!!!

Agreed!!!! That is funny Labor story, sore feet..ugh...here's where my DH shines...he was the bestest support /coach ever ever ever !!! Especially with DS4 when I went into premature labor and went on Mag...ugh I lost it, but he took good care of me

Now I can focus on Disney, which is NEXT WEEK!!!!!

That's awesome Melissa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was awesome to meet up with her!! We decided to tag along with DH who was attending a seminar in Florida, soooo I got to thinking about Melissa and wondered if she and I would be anywhere close for a DIS meet and it worked out! (Magic and Deena, already knew you were too far away or I'd be texting you too!)





Thank you Melissa for meeting up with Sam and I. I have so much fun, the time flew by! It was nice to sit and talk about the kids so now I feel like I know you and your family better. AND RCers... believe it or not, we did not talk about Disney that much! Amazing I know! And we did NOT step foot into the Disney store (whatever was wrong with us Melissa??

Melissa is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad she got to meet with you BFF!!! And glad you got to sneak to the warmth for a weekend

Luckily my DMIL wants to babysit our furbaby...I'm nervous because Nancy is never alone for more than a hour..so when she goes to work but she will be a little older I did look into the WDW kennel as well..but with the add ons I wanted...cha-ching...well worth it though, cuddle time

I admit, I called again today about the Poly. I realized that at this point it is about just wanting something I can't have. (I'm always like that).

Plus, DH told me today that I need to stop and we will stay at the Poly in August 2014.....to which I said "but, were going to Atlantis next year" and he said "I'm worried what will happen to you if you miss Disney and that mine train next year" (he was joking, but almost half serious...)

So, our plan is to do both!!! Atlantis in Feb 2014 and Disney (Poly) in August 2014!!!! Next year is looking pretty darn good!!!

Tht sounds great!!! I saw Atlantis had a Military discount..and a utility workers discount, EMS...I can get that

Jen

My DH was a carrier all his childhood....never had surgery, resolved by middle school. Lots of missed school though You can be a carrier without the active infection, so if there is no fever or sore throat maybe hold off on the swabs so they aren't given unnecessary antibiotics. Some pediatricians are more conservative with meds then others...JMHO

One snowflake is practically enough to do that.

Hopefully, I can get a nap in this morning. We went to bed just after 1 AM, and I couldn't sleep. Sometime today I have to finally call financial aid, and then call my doctor to find out when my doctor appt is. I know it's either Thursday or Friday and in the morning sometime, I'm just not sure when.

OMG my nephew is sitting at the kitchen table eating Funyuns for breakfast and that kid is chomping so loud, it's like he has a microphone and is playing "how loud can I eat."

O and I keep forgetting to say, but I haven't had a nose bleed since I started taking my blood pressure med again.

Jen

Once when my DS Jay Had strep which did not respond to the meds it turned out he had Mono. Hope your DD feels better soon.

I need to vent what is wrong with Disney? I called this am to see what the AAA discount was and the automated system had my "old" Ohio address from 10 years ago WTH I have been to Disney 3x since being back in Ct and to DL once.

It is no wonder I do not get Pin# they are probably going to Ohio

Have to run trying to call to reschedule my Drs. appt, roads are icy same as last week

Have a good day!

Have a good day!

I have the same problem with the automated system. It has the home number for the house we lived in before we had to move in with the inlaws a couple of years ago. The house address is even worse. The street is one we lived on, like ten years ago. The house number doesn't exist. They have a 4 digit house number, and all of the house numbers on that street are only 3 digit numbers.

[Mousemommy1]

OMG! So excited!After months of trying to convince our good friends to join us in Disney, they finally just booked for April!!!! They will be down there for 8nights (4/18-4/26) and staying at POR (they are a family of 5)!!!!
Now, I am totally reconfiguring our touring plan so that we can fit in golf for the guys, etc....
But, they are far from Disney obsessed, so basically just told us to "show them a good time"

This oughta be interesting!!!

Thanks...the doctor has prescribed her a different med, I have filled it but I am waiting to see of her fever comes back again.

Yes the older two have had both tonsils and adenoids out. I asked the Dr. if it is unusual to have strep without the tonsils, but she said it was still quite common.

Hmmm...not liking the sounds of injections!! But whatever helps I suppose. That would not go over well, my DD8 is not the 'toughest' one out of my three.

We were all swabbed again, but she said it only looks like DD8 is having another episode of it. I am not a fan of the antibiotics either. We have been doing so well, and had a long stretch without any. I picked up some kids probiotics for her to take at the same time. Thanks for caring.

me too! I need to let it go. I can't go on Spring Break unless we drive - no thank you! The return home flights are just way too expensive.

Candace - are you worried about reworking your plan?

Love the pic Janet and Melissa!

Wookie - wooohoo for no more nose bleeds! I hope you talk the dh and dfil into letting you attend the convention

Happy Birthday Marie!

Jen - hope you get good answers from the doctor!

Hi everyone else! Hope you are doing well today!

I won't be re-working it too much. They don't want any TS meals (not doing DDP), except they may join us for date night at Yachtsman....they did get hoppers, so they basically said that they would just follow us around...

We have 6 meals planned but two of them are after they leave, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I just have to fit golf in, but we have several "open" mornings already, so I just need to pick one of those.

[i_heart_the_mouse]

Jenny - Hope DD feels better very soon.

Melissa and Janet - Great pic. So cool that you got to get together!

wookie - Yay for no more nose bleeds!

pas - I'm glad to hear DH was good with you in labor.

Mousemommy - I hope things go well with the friends coming along. That sounds fun!

I got a mailer yesterday for Annual Passholders. I can't stop staring at all the special events I'd love to try. I wish we lived closer.

I'm not feeling YC CL today. I think I need to call and see if Poly CL is available.
