Something About Nothing #3..........

[yankeepenny]

Please, God, take care of Josh and his family.

 

[loribell]

Rose - Sorry about Chrissy's flu and all the mess you got to clean up. I hope you aren't coming down with it. I hope you all get to enjoy spring break a little.

The newest Universal book I have is from 2004. You are welcome to it if you want but maybe someone will offer a much newer one. Don't know how far St. Pete is. Sorry.

 

[roseprincess]

Joshua and Tricia are definitely in my prayers
I do pray Joshua makes a full recovery
Please keep us posted when you can.

 

[ky07]

Hi all-
Sorry, been MIA. I was hoping to be here a little more this week as my kids are on spring break. But I have been busy.
Chrissy had the stomach flu Monday late afternoon and into yesterday, so lots of clean-up after her and washing vomit and stuff off of her clothes sheets, etc. She is doing much better today. Sorry, TMI on all that.
I was feeling ok this morning, but now my stomach is hurting now. I finally took the kids out today and had to run a couple of errands, as today was a nice day(about 50 degrees out). Picked up McDonald's for lunch for the kids.

Hope everyone had a good Easter. We went to Easter church service on Saturday. On Sunday, the kids ransacked their Easter baskets early. Then we went to visit my grandma in the nursing home. Also visited my parents and helped bring up a tv that was in their basement and brought it up and set it up for them in their living room. Then we went home and made Easter dinner for ourselves.

DH has been working all this week so far. He also had to work on Good Friday.
I can't seem to catch-up on everyone. Please forgive me

I see Coastermom, you had your wisdom teeth pulled
Hope you feel better soon!

Oh, I found out the plane vouchers I won, the round-trip flights go from my airport(Chicago- O'Hare) to St. Petersburg, FL. They don't fly into Orlando at all I thought they did fly into Orlando, but I called the airlines promoter and they said the nearest destination to Orlando would be St. Pete's.
So I guess I'll have to book a rental car for us to go back and forth from St. Pete to Orlando and vice-versa.

Does anyone know how long the drive is from St. Pete to WDW/UO?

Haven't booked vacation yet, but hope to soon.

Also, can anyone mail me that book that is about UO? I can't remember the name of the book or the author. If no one is using their UO book, I would love a copy of the book mailed to me, if anyone is interested in giving up thier book for a few months. And then I can mail the book back when we are done with it. Just PM me. Thanks!

I've been mia myself. I pm'd you.

Hi guys. I just got in and checked my emails. I got one from Tricia early today and did not see it until now. Thought you all should know.



Joshua had another seizure this morning. About 7 am, we had just woken him up for the day and he was about to take his first pill. He went statue still, eyes dragged off to the left, then drool... he didn't start convulsing for a few minutes, but he did. EMTs arrived in about 4 mins and administered Vicodan nasally.

He vomited shortly after the seizure ended. He is very lethargic still. He can't use his right arm or talk yet. We are leaving for Scottish Rite Children's Hospital.

Pray for him. I'll check in when I can. Tell everyone on the SAN thread what's going on and that I love them.

Tricia

So everyone pray for our boy & his momma. I will let you know when I hear something else.

Tricia we love you!

Something told me to take a minute to check in this evening. . . now I know why.

Tricia - Please know Joshua and your family will stay in my prayers.

 

[keishashadow]

darn it! poor baby ; hang in there tricia!

wendy tampa airport was only 1 hour drive (easy) from Universal; St. Pete's is across the bay...i'm thinking another 1/2 hour...Tammy would know for sure-resident expert with the price of airline tix going thru the roof, still a deal! Kelly Monaghan is the author of the great U book ever , new edition is out; worth it's weight in gold.

rose - stomach flu stinks, be well

i miss mac

 

[coastermom]

Tricia we will keep you in our prayers . I hope he is ok , having a sick child is the worst feeling ever .

Rose I hope you are not getting too. I am feeling a little better it comes and goes . I think i just need the rest but as usual there is no rest for the mommy . My face is now a nice black and blue color and well it looks as if I got into a really good fist fight .
I don't know how far St Pete is from Orlando but I hope it is not too far that the tickets aren't really worth it . Depends on how much the rental car is and if GAS goes to $4 a gallon like they were talking about this morning . It is really to think of $4 a gallon with a mini van that is almost $70 to fill it up .

Gotta run and study spelling with my DS and then off to bed with him . I may get back tonight if not I will Ck in in the morning .

I think this is for Rose as well. . .

 

[bubba's mom]

That could be arranged.

Great! We will have to find out what is good for everyone. I am arriving on the 9th or 10th.

we return on the 9th, but not sure what time ...so, I say bag the 9th...shoot for 10th or later...

It is in the 80's here today. To hot for pants, need to pull out the shorts. The horror of those extra white legs!

you KNOW i luv ya...but I haveta:

By the way, I think Alison has been eaten by her tanning bed! Anyone else noticed she has not posted since dh was getting the electric hooked up? I might ought to go out on a search for her, and use the tanning bed for those extra white legs while I'm there.

i emailed her yesterday or the day before and told her if we don't hear from her, we were sending you to take apart her tanning booth...as we thought she was sealed in it!

Something told me to take a minute to check in this evening. . . now I know why.

ain't it funny how things work that way???

i miss mac

i think we all do....

My face is now a nice black and blue color and well it looks as if I got into a really good fist fight .

make sure you brag that you won

 

[bubba's mom]

barb - that's the one i saw too, will have to search out online what the other one is

DH guesses there are no other people

Tooting my own horn here.....

I just turned to counter to.........


2000!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TRACIE!!!!

she can yak with the best of 'em!!!​

Mac will be so thrilled that she gets to plan a baby shower after October!!!!!

...in damo's house

Morning Peeps! Maddie spent the night last night. She & I will go in to the city so she can have lunch with her momma. Then I have to take Mikey to PT this afternoon. Gonna be on the road a lot today.

And how was PT and lunch w/ lil princess?

check this out

haveta wait till i get on my laptop...using DH's computer (while he's at hockey) and he's burning something slowing everything down

 

[damo]

Prayers sent for Josh. Sooooo scary.

 

[bubba's mom]

I think I'm a little late for picking a baseball team, but I'll take Oakland!

better late than never

I wish I could say that surprises me. That poor little girl.

I think we need to keep this in our subscribed threads for the next time we hear ridiculous stories about the low class people who visit UO. Sadly, you can find people acting badly anywhere. Kids shouldn't have to live that way.

Moreso to remind them that whatever they see negative at UO CAN and DOES happy in the land of pixiedust

 

[bubba's mom]

Hi guys - I'm still alive and kicking.

Good to hear from ya Sharon....hope MIL goes back "home" soon..... Hang in there! How's the house going?? Any lookers?

oh - and I noticed that I have "that" house on the block. yea, you know the one, the one where all the kids hang out and play.

You have the "Kool-Aid" house ...

Hello. My name is Niles and I am just like my namesake. It is all about me me me.......

Penny...he is a beautiful cat...really....how old is he anyway? Makes me think about getting another kitty .....

Mikey's first therapy appointment went well.

So this phys. therapist sounds like she knows what she's talking about...that's good. Hopefully she can whip his shoulder into shape and not have to worry about surgery. AND, YOU seem to like her, which, of course, makes a big difference too

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Tricia, I'm so sorry to hear Joshua is having a hard time. My heart breaks for both of you. You'll definitely be in my prayers. Give him our love & know that we love you too.

Lori, thanks for letting us know about Joshua, & keeping us updated.

Rose, as Janet said, it should take you about 1 & 1/2 hrs. Naturally, in a city this size there's always a traffic disclaimer. If you hit rush hour, your commute could double. Try to plan your drive after 9am & before 3pm. My niece flew into PIE (St. Pete Airport), when she came for spring break. She got a really good rate on a convertible rental car at the airport. Hopefully, you'll be able to find a great rate, if you don't have to be styling.

 

[bubba's mom]

**Just heard from Tricia:


Joshua is doing well. We are home from the hospital. He regained his speech pattern after about an hour. His right arm is pretty much back to normal. They ran a bunch of tests and monitored him at Scottish Rite. Turns out, he has obviously had a growth spurt in the past month and his meds weren't keeping up. The Dilantin level in his blood should be in the 10 to 20 range. His was 7. So, they gave him a booster of Dilantin and upped his dosage.

I have to call the ped neurologist in the morning to schedule a follow up appointment. They may accelerate his switch to Topamax and up the final target dosage.

I've gotta run, but I just wanted everyone to know the latest.

Tricia

Tricia, that's great news! Give him a hug for us. I hope you both have a good night.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

When's Mac supposed to be back? I thought it was today. If so, she's probably got too much to do & too tired to check in. I'm sure she'll start worrying about what we're doing to the house, & show up soon.

So, noone has heard from Alison? I hope everything's okay with her.

 

[loribell]

we return on the 9th, but not sure what time ...so, I say bag the 9th...shoot for 10th or later...

10th or later is best for me too.

you KNOW i luv ya...but I haveta:

Sorry.

i emailed her yesterday or the day before and told her if we don't hear from her, we were sending you to take apart her tanning booth...as we thought she was sealed in it!

Guess I am going to have to head that way.

...in damo's house

Sounds like a perfect gathering place to me.

And how was PT and lunch w/ lil princess?

Both were very good.

You have the "Kool-Aid" house ...

And she is very funny. She calls Mikey Fred.

Lori, thanks for letting us know about Joshua, & keeping us updated.

You are very welcome.
