8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 6

No President's Day holiday? I only have Monday off, DD's school is closed Mon-Wed. When I was in school, we got the whole week off. They called it "Ski Week." Now it's "President's Holiday."

In NYC we have the week off. It was also knon as energy conservation week, after the energy crisis of the 70's.

No holiday. DS goes to a private school and their teachers have some kind of conference/convention going on. The 5th is just thrown in for a long weekend. Going to one of the indoor waterparks in Wisconsin Dells.

Thanks thought it was one of the USA Bank hols?

Although this is technically 7 hours after the fact...

... with subdermal hematomas to the head you should not allow him to sleep immediately after the accident. You're looking for him passing out (from internal bleeding in his head). Plus other signs of trouble are vomiting and ... there's another sign but I can't recall exactly what it was now.

last september my younger daughter fell out of the stroller and landed on the back of her head. The 1st aid folks at Seaworld in Orlando were nice but offerred no adice other then to NOT LET HER SLEEP and head for an emergency room. We called my BIL who is a 7 board doc who teaches at one of Harvards' medical schools. He's a pediatric critical care board certified specialist - among 6 other specializations. And he suggested the period of observation was up to 96 hours with greater intensity in observation for the first hours and day. Oh yeah... you look for different dialation sizes (???) between the eyes or disorientation on time especially if you think your son passed out at all.

We opted NOT to go to an ER because they could not diagnose or counsel anything further then this ... and it would have cost us a few 100 or 1000.

If you need more info because of a protential crisis ... go to the emergency room or call 9-11. I can call my spouse when she lands and ask her what the other cardinal signs are for observation on a child following a head blow and large subdermal hematoma. She lands in about 90 minutes. I'll PM you any info to update this...

Thanks, Tom. WebMD is a great resource...actually why I went to the doctor last May instead of coming home & going back to bed when I was having my anxiety attack because the backache, neck pain, and nausea were all signs of a heart attack in women. DS has been alert all day, was joking around last night before bed, and woke quickly when I tapped his shoulder on my way to bed last night. Other than a bad headache, I think that he is ok.

What holiday is this one?

It's a US holiday, but apparently not all of the US celebrates it. 2/12 is Lincoln's bday and 2/22 is Washington's bday. They combined them together in the 80s to make "President's Day."

 

[JLDSMD]

If I can handle my two for 12 hours in DC on my own, you should be able to tackle two in a stroller in DL.

Lisa,

Good to see you on the board this afternoon. How is your DS?

 

[lbgraves]

oh, you guys are too much!
Well, if I never get a tag, it won't be for lack of (y'all) trying!

Well, it looks like it was worth the try. Even red...the TF does listen.

OK

When my kids were younger in 2003, I went to WDW for 10 days, by myself as my wife wasnt able to come, and pushed both of them around in a stroller all the time, thats the only time I lost weight at WDW.

Its a hard job, and only lost them once at the Contemporary resort,

You gotta love those double strollers. If I didn't weigh over 100kg i would love for someone to push me around in one of those.

Good news.

So here is the thing. I just caught up on the last 20 pages or so. In the process I multi-quoted several posts. Now the logical thing would be to leave the quotes and add my $ .02 But then I thought to myself, self, maybe it would be fun to just write my replies. So now I offer you, the late night DISers, a game of "What the heck is she replying to??"

I can recite the Gettysburg Address and the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet. And the preamble to the Constitution.

But can you sing it like Schoolhouse Rock? That's the only way that I could remember it in 7th grade.

Glad to hear he's doing good.

Two kids in there, I wish they had them when I was young!

Bourne Supremacy

One day I will watch those both.

 

[Diznyfan68]

I know I won't be on at that time. Guess that's one less Swabbie (if it really matters).

Well, I won't be on then either, so one less wench.

Good wish you/him all the best.

'cause it's not a drug capitol or anything . . .

I mentioned needing to put all the Box Tops into baggies so they could be turned in & Cartegena was brought back up.

 

[lbgraves]

Yes Of course ...He follows me where ever I go ...Just look at all the pics ...LOL

Yes that was how she really noticed him at first. Who is that boy in my pictures?

 

[lbgraves]

Well...

... I've lived my whole life in the Los Angeles area ... or within 90 miles of where I was born! My fathers' house was purchased about 40 years ago for $32,000 ... with a monthly mortgage that was $152 a month! Shoot... that's almost what I spend on cable TV + cable modem service ($112... OK, so it's not exactly the same cost after all). That same house is worth about $500-550,000 today... and is approximately 1540 sq feet on a 6,000' lot.

Congrats on your new tags!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Sorry I dont do well with Ladies that have moustaches ...



And by the way , I think my sword was cold ....

Well, evidently the TF agreed that it was protected.
