hiya everyone,

Thanks everyone, Bug, is feeling a bit better, but our weather is cooler and raining again so it might get worse again. It was 80 this afternoon and now in the 60's but dropping fast.

Tomar, do you prefer xopenex or albuterol?

Hope everyone has a great nite, mky

MKY- So glad that Bug is feeling better !:angel:
I use the Xopenex 0.31....(the Baby dose) !;)
When I was on Abuterol.....my heart was doing the jig for hours after I got off the "Peace Pipe"....I told the Allergiest....and he changed me to Xopenex....I rarely get that horrible reaction like my heart is comeing of of my chest anymore...thank goodness !! :cloud9:
What does Bug use ?.......
 
MKY: Thank you for that. Part of me needed to know that I didn't jump to fast at cancelling her party. Her doctor said to but I was not sure if she was being an alarmist and I have become a germophobe so I know I would not be happy if someone else had a party with a sick kid. But then I felt guilty that I was being a little OCD, or whatever you would want to call it. She slept on and off all day Saturday and Sunday. Today she woke up like a champ and seemed much better. Never a dull moment I guess.

Tomar: Everyone told me to get the Zopenex for DD5 but her doctor kept giving the Albuterol. She would get jittery but for some reason she never switched the meds. I have no idea why though. Thank goodness she has not needed the nebulizer since we stopped eggs. What a difference.

TP2- Im not sure what`s up with these doctors and Albuteral.....I know for me, I kept telling him I had palpatations...and he was just telling me back, that it is the Albuteral...OKAAAAAY......then give me something else.....!!!:scared:
Hense the Xopenex :angel:....and in BABY dose !.....I try my best not to have to go on the "Peace Pipe" at all...but when I came home from Nana....I had to :headache:
If God forbid DD needs to go on it again TP2...tell your doctor you much prefer the Xopenex......0.31 is the lowest dose...then there`s 1.25...that`s alittle higher....but still no heart jig....so Id reccommend either one ;)
Hopeing now....with no eggs...she`ll be fine though !! :cloud9:

Tomar: Thank you so much. For me, I have never had these problems so I can only go by what the doctor tells me and what others tell me. My SIL and a friend (both have children) with asthma and they prefered their kids behavior on Xopenex and said I should ask for it. Because I have never gone through it, it is hard to know for sure and hard to know when to really push the doctor and when to just take her suggestion. Keeping my fingers crossed that the asthma is done for a bit now. But I sincerely appreciate the insight.

TP2- I never had Asthma.....until I moved to New Jersey from New York....
Don`t ask me what happened...I guess things that grow out here ...don`t agree with my system !! LOL :flower3:
The Boys on the other hand....have had Asthma since they were little....my older DS carrys the Epi Pen with him.....but my younger DS who has Asthma worse at times....doesn`t carry it .....
My WHOLE family has allergies to something or other.....not a Great thing to pass down the generations I`d say :upsidedow....but ....we deal with it !:angel:
I pray that DD is Asthma-Free forever ,since stopping the eggs....and then you won`t have to deal with the nebulizer anymore...:cloud9:
ANDDDDDDDDDD...........;)
Im still praying for a BEAUTIFUL DAY next week for DD4`s Birthday Party too !! :bday::bday::bday:
 
Tomar: You are always so sweet. Thank you for all the kind words of DD5.

Looks like we are going to have a nice weekend and one of her friends that could not make it last week can go this week. So things are looking up. She is still not 100% though. Last night she was miserable and fell asleep at 7:30. This is a kid that stays up later than me. She is just a night owl, so I have to assume she is still recovering. I am hoping that a long and good nights sleep does the trip. She has been crying in her sleep complaining of pain. No fever though. I guess we will know more in a couple of hours, she took over my spot in bed, which is why I am up so early. Just not enough room for 3 in a queen size bed.:scared:

TP2....Right back at Cha !:goodvibes
Im so happy that this weekend`s weather will be nice !!:sunny:
Im sure that DD5 will be fine when it`s time for her party !:cloud9:
LOL about your sleeping arrangements last night.....we used to be in the same boat when the boys were little....all of a sudden we had company, in the middle of the night :rotfl:
 
Tomar: When we move, we are getting a king bed! At least DH and I won't wind up on the couch if someone should wonder in.:rotfl:

LOL....Good Idea about getting the King size bed TP2- !!:cloud9:....DS and DDIL have a King Bed and the Princess has her own Spot when she decides to visit mommy and daddy in the middle of the night...:rotfl:
WE had a Queen also....it became a Tight squeeze if anyone was to get a decient night`s sleep......so It was me that usually got Bumped to the couch
(I can`t sleep with a CROWD !! :lmao: ) ;) :cloud9:
 
Hiya everyone!

Tomar & TP2, Xopenex is actually a refined albuterol. Took out the bad parts like shakiness & high heart rates etc... . But, the reason it is not as popular as should be: it cost a lot more. So for some reason, most md's try not to use it. Our hospital is attempting to phase it out. Not sure why, other than cost. Bug & I both use xopenex for our asthma. Mom has advanced emphysema and also uses xopenex for her neb, but thinks her albuterol inhaler is stronger, and prefers it. She actually wants to change her neb meds to albuterol. I can handle the nebs its the oral steroids, that are a BIG problem. Allergies, run in families, and there is not much you can do about. They are saying breast feeding is supposed to help? :confused3 So I guess, I can blame mom, we had bottles.:idea:

My parents have slept in a double forever. They are married since 1950. We never even considered crawling in there.:rotfl: But, I have my own queen sized bed. They call it the barge. "your sister is watching tv on the barge"........ .:lmao:

I have fingers crossed for your weekend out there. It is cold here yesterday and today. Kids got out of school, its June and now its 60? :sad2: Hopefully this is not headed your way.

EE22, Good luck, to DD & DS on finals and your last days at school for this year. :wizard:

Candi, Hoping things are ok at work for you. :hug: Sounds pretty grim.

We are at 38 days!! mky:cutie:

MKY- I much prefer the Xopenex since I have a little heart condition ...and don`t need the extra .......pounding !!:scared1:
I can understand how the Docs perfer the Albuteral though....it works faster as you`ve described.....I think I`ll take my chances on the length of getting better with the Xopenex though :cloud9: ;)
LOL about the "Barge". Yur parents should see my DS and DDIL`s bed....Id call it the "Disney Wonder" !!! :rotfl:
38 more days here tooooo !!!! :dance3::yay::dance3:
 
MKY: Thanks, again, for helping to explain the difference and reason for what the docs do. So we have Swine Flu in DD8's school. I was told by a teacher that the kids were flying out of the building today. We had to cancel DD5's birthday party last Sunday because she had Coxsackie (I know I told you). I am taking no chances this week. No way I can do that again so I am keeping both DD's home from school tomorrow. Gotta get through the weekend healthy.:wizard:

So about 3 or 4 weeks ago we started to panic about the whole house thing. Well, now we have 2 people bidding on our house at the same time and all of the houses we wanted have sold. We were putting bids on homes all day today and nothing. So now we are thinking of pulling out all together.:eek: It has been a stressful few weeks and now to get to this point and have no house to buy.:sad2: I almost feel like it is a sign from above that we should just stay here and maybe reorg the house a bit. Just to close and pay real estate fees we are looking at almost $30k.:scared: We can stay at the Contemporary for 2 weeks and still have change left over.:rotfl: But seriously, we can do a lot of work on this house with that money. And to top it off, interest rates jumped 1% this week. That is huge. To be a kid again and just have parents to make these decisions for us.:rolleyes:
 
I've missed so much. Too busy this week...I don't even have time now:scared1:but had to come and say....


ONE MONTH!!!
 
TP2- Yikes about the Swine Flu in school !!:scared1:.....Im glad your keeping the princesses home ......can`t upset this weekend for the party too !! princess: :cheer2: :flower3:
Im sorry about the house situation....I can`t deal with that myself....ick .....too much pressure !!:scared:

EE22- We`re right behind you !!!
party:36 days !!! Yahoooo !!party:
 
TP2...I hope you have good weather this weekend. We made it out with no issues with the flu so that is good. Sorry about the house situation.

I hope everyone is feeling better now. I think that's what I missed and the bed size:rotfl:

This week about did me in. Yesterday was a nightmare. I'm sure next week will be too...at least they are work days and I can go hide somewhere:confused3
 
EE22- Ok ....so basically .....School is out for the summer...and you just have a few more work days....right EE22 ?......WHOO HOO !!!:woohoo:
Keep your eye on the Prize......:cheer2:."YOUR UNDER 30 DAYS UNTIL DISNEY" !!:cheer2:
 
Hi Ladies...
Hope the party went well TP2.
Tomar...hope you are doing okay with your allergies.
I hope Bug is doing well too mky and your stomach issues are better.
Must be our age?:confused3

I went to the doc and she gave me more ambien. I told her I was just high strung and worried too much. I'll probably sleep better this summer although last year in WDW I did not.

I cleaned out the linen closet and pantry yesterday. Linen closet was major! I don't think I did it last summer. Threw out a lot of old stuff that was expired. Got the Goodwill pile ready to go so I could get to the luggage. I'm very behind on many jobs around here. I suppose they will all get done in time. And, perhaps, they won't.

Getting to the luggage was major since we leave in UNDER 30 DAYS!!!
 
hiya everyone

Well, had a nice weekend off. Hope you all did too. It was 70 here but cloudy. sprinkled but not bad. Did some disney planning. Today, bought our MNSSHP tix, for our october trip. Guess, we will have to start thinking about adr's and plans pretty soon. Kinda hard with this trip fastly approaching. Don't want to think of fall yet. ;)

TP2, Good luck with the house decisions. We have had swine flu in this area too. But, unable to discuss. :upsidedow Just kinda scary thinking about it. Hope everyone stays healthy.

EE22, Hopefully, things are looking better. Seems like your year has been kinda long. Suitcases out?

Tomar, Are you starting to pack yet? How is theprincess: dealing with the news?

We are at 35 Days!!! mky:cutie:
 
Suitcases out...Disney shirts washed and are hang drying. I did the bathroom supply bag...what a job. I got a lot done today!! :woohoo:

I have to clean my house and do some yard work now!:dance3:
