Be Careful When Tra La La La-ing Through Paris

[coteau_chick]

I have an update on Grace. I got a call this afternoon from the doctor she has tested positive for whooping cough. It is so scarry the way she coughs. She stops breathing. Last night was a little better she only had one really bad coughing spell. I never would have taken her to Disney World last week had I known what she has. I hope we didn't spread it to anyone else. I took her to the doctor twice before we left. The last time was two days before we left and he said we could go. He said she had bronchitis. I had to go straight to the doctor with her when we got back. The doctor at the after hours clinic is the one who figured out to test her for whooping cough. Please pray that we don't have any complications from this. They had to report it to the state and the kids can't go to school tomorrow. I have to wait to hear the state doctor about when they can return to school because they were exposed to a contagious disease. We all had to get on medicine over here. It is quite scary.

I am really disappointed I didn't get to meet up with you.

I'll be back down there again...probably soon. Just think, by the time we DO meet, we'll know each other even better! It will be more fun!

Oh dear. I am going to go read a little about whooping cough. I hope she gets better quickly now that she has a confirmed diagnosis, and hopefully nobody else gets it. Does it have to be reported to Disney?

I told the nurse from the school that we were at Disney World and we rode buses. Do you think I should call Disney? Who would I call? I am worried about the pack and play Grace slept in. She coughed the most when she was sleeping and that is what she slept in. I sure hope they clean them well when we check out.

I'm glad you had a safe trip. I will say some prayers for Gracie. Have a great day!!!!

Oh Laura,

What a crazy situation! I still can't believe Whooping Cough is going around. I'm glad that you finally know what is really wrong with her though. I would probably call the hotel and tell them about the pack n' play. If anything just to put your mind at ease. Has she been running a fever? I dont' know anything about WC. Weird! I know I mentioned before that when I had that horrible cough, I couldn't catch my breath. It was pretty terrifying for me. I can't imagine what it would be like to see my kids going through that. I will say lots of prayers for you and your family

Scary! I hope that Grace starts feeling better soon and that nobody else comes down with it.

I'm subscribing to your TR! I'm so sad about Courtney. Maybe you & her could take a mom/daughter only trip. That's what me & my DD try to do every year. It really "refreshes" our relationship!

I did call Disney and told them all about it. I hope they do the right thing. Are you feeling better?

Thanks. We all had to get on medicine. Faron and I had to take a shot and so did my parents. Farons mom was to old to get the shot.

She wants to go on a cruise. I would love to do something with just her and I.

Glad you joined us.

More DRAMA

Now what you might ask?????

Faron was bitten by a poisonous snake this morning. He is in the hospital and he might have to have surgery in the morning. Courtney is at the hospital with him tonight because she can't go back to school until Tuesday because of the whole whooping cough drama. I had to come home with Grace because she is not well yet. I am torn between wanting to be at two places at once. Faron's hand looks horrible. I was reading a story to Grace and he came in saying to get him to the hospital NOW because he was bitten by a snake . I had to leave Grace with Brennan and call my mom to rush over here. Faron's mom couldn't come because she was at home throwing up. She has a virus. We were with her yesterday I hope we don't catch that too that is the last thing we need. I can't believe the drama that has unfolded around her from the moment we got home from Disney World. I have been on the phone for the last few days with state doctor and nurses because of the whooping cough and now this. Please keep us in your prayers I am so tired and I need a break from playing nurse for a while.

On a more funny note. Faron asked me to go home to get him a toothbrush and some clean underwear. The nurse asked if he messed in his pants when the snake bit him. He said no when I had to ride with her and her pointed to me. I drove him there with my hazard lights on and I flew there like a bat out of hell. I was soooooooo scared.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

You need this. What a rough time you are having!

I hope everything turns out okay for all of you!

Keep us updated, okay? I'll be praying for y'all.

 

[lisalonglash]

Wow! , and to you and your family!!! Prayers coming your way!

 

[DisneyTiger]

My goodness! I am so sorry all of this is happening. I know I'm not right around the corner from you, but let me know if there is anything I can do. Thinking of you

PS- I really didn't mean to make that rhyme

 

[alboq]

Snakes are the one thing that completly makes me crazy!! Just reading the report made me freak out!! Sending prayers your way for Grace and Faron. Hope everything settles down for you and gets back to normal. Alisa

 

[reelmom]

When it rains, it pours.
I hope that Faron is doing better today. I will be praying for your family.

 

[winkers]

Laura!! Oh my goodness!
What was Faron doing when he got bit? Let us know how things are going when you get a chance!

 

[coteau_chick]

We are home. The doctor let Faron come home because it doesn't look like he has an infection. He has some darkening of the skin on his hand where the venom killed the muscle tissue. We have to go to the surgeon's office next week so he can see how bad the damage is. I am praying that he won't have to have surgery. I am just glad to be home. Grace is looking much better today. I think we have turned the corner with her illness and things are looking much better for her. I am just tired. I dreamed about snakes all night.
