Seven isn't too far away-y-y-y-y-y; in fact it's here now! AKL Lite Thread presents:

....it's good to be back [I don't even know if you guys missed me or not]. My youngest DS, Dylan, went home early on Friday; we wasn't feeling well. He pretty much stayed in bed all weekend, but on Sunday evening came downstairs into the kitchen, where he told me that he felt like he was going to faint. No sooner than he stated that, he turned ashen and dropped backwards, hitting his head on the tile floor! Needless to say, we all rushed to him, putting a cold compress on his forehead and back of his neck, and gave him some Gatorade to drink. Well, we took him to the Pediatric Emergency Room at Hackensack Hospital, where I wound up spending the next 2 days with him. Thankfully, he is home now - the doctor's instructions were that he remain home today and no gym or strenuous activity for a week....

Any sort of diagnosis? Almost sounds like the symptoms of a concussion....


Hope he gets well soon....so he feels better and you don't have to worry!

....after almost 3 hours in the ER, they were gonna release him, but he had to 'pass' urine. When he went to the bathroom, accompanied by the nurse, he passed out again in there too. They quickly put him in a wheelchair to bring him back to the room and he vomited all over the floor. Several people around him really panicked because it was all red, but my DH yelled that it was only fruit punch Gatorade...so, they immediately sent him for a CAT scan...

...and (if you don't mind sharing...if you do, I completely understand) what did they find?

 

[kimmar067]

....well, basically, he had a particularly bad strain of virus, although they didn't pinpoint the exact one [there have been several cases within the last few weeks, affecting kids in their late teens - 15-18]. The bloodwork results didn't come back yet, but his pediatrician wanted to rule out mono....

Congrats on a pin, but sorry it won't work for you; at least you're on their radar!

I know there are bad viruses out there now! Hopefully he recovers quickly!

Can anyone please advise where I should request our room. I've booked a standard view room but would like to request a partial savanna view room as I know that they are considered standard view. We would like something close to the lobby.
Thanks,

Kimmar, I'm wishing Dylan a speedy recovery.

We've had great weather since our arrival here. Bus service from Jambo House has been poor. We rode my absolute favorite Soarin'
three times yesterday, yeah! DH got blister on bottom of foot; not sure yet how we may need to modify today's plan.

Good morning, Js & Ks!

I'm sorry I don't know the answer, but I know a few people here have gotten such a view before. Hopefully they'll chime in.

I hate to even ask this question (please don't shoot me ) because I know the answer to the infamous *pool hopping question* - BUT.. and I honestly don't know the answer to this...I swear! ....if you are staying at Jambo, can you use the pool at Kidani? (a little nervous to hit the "submit reply" button.)

I think that's a reasonable question. I don't know the answer though. I *think* if you are a DVC member you can, but not a regular hotel guest. I'm not sure though so please don't take my word for it.

I am sooooooo excited for our AKV stay in April!!!
My MIL and FIL have decided to join us as well.
We are renting points for a DVC studio in Jambo House. We are crossing our fingers that there will be availability for them to rent a studio at this late date as well.
My question is, if we were in Jambo and they can only get a studio at Kidani at this point.. is it really that far from one another?
We are all walkers, and wouldn't mind a 10 minute walk between rooms. I'm just not sure of the distances

Would anyone who knows see this as a big problem?

No worries! When staying AKL/AKV - whether as a resort guest or DVC member - you are welcome to use either pool!

Have a great time!

Firstly Congratulations on your upcoming trip!

Secondly, they're not that far from each other. 10 minutes max. It's really just the parking lot seperating them. But, you can always take the DTD bus from Jambo to get to Kidani, and any bus but the DTD from Kidani will go to Jambo House.

Fingers crossed they'll be able to get into Jambo and it won't be an issue at all.
