I'm not going to panic. I've only planned this trip for close to a year. But why, oh why, do these things happen??
She is at home resting with a 101 fever and says she is determined to go.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for pixie dust.

We leave this Monday, and both my kids were home sick from school at the end of last week! My DS7 had 103 degree fever, and had been coughing for about a week. Took him to the doctor and they told me he had a sinus infection. The following day, my DS10 complained of a sore throat. Took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with strep throat. Luckily, we had 10 days before our trip so they got antibiotics and are now fine. My DH also came down with a sinus infection earlier this week, also is on medication. I have been fine so far. I have been taking echinacea to try to prevent getting sick, as well as my vitamins. Also have been eating lots of fruit. We only have 2 days and 19 hours left until we fly out, so we are getting excited!!! Good luck with the sicknesses. I would still go as long as there are no other symptoms! Have fun!!!

He was absolutely fine the day before. I never considered not going; I can't imagine canceling a trip I have spent thousands of dollars on and months planning. I grabbed some motrin and wrote down the number of his pediatrican in case he needed a prescription called in. He slept the whole way to the airport (2hr) and almost the entire flight (2.5 hr). I was a wreck the whole time because I was so worried that he was going to be sick for our entire trip. He seemed to be doing better by this point but while my husband was checking us in for ME he vomitted. (Sorry to family across from us in the ME waiting area
) We had to change him into his swimsuit and his older brother's sweatshirt (only clothes we had as our luggage was going straight to our room). Well we finally made it to the room and he really was doing better by this point. He actually even wanted to go to the parks for a little bit. We all went to MGM for a little while and I came home early with him while my DH stayed with my two other sons. I got him into bed early and when he woke up in the morning his fever was gone and he was feeling great!!
He was fine the rest of the trip.
