I am going to walk with Samantha in the parade so if it gets to be too much I can pick her up and carry her back (all 45 pounds of her - ugh!). There is also supposed to be a float behind the group so I guess I can just plop her on that if she wants to continue and doesn't feel up to it!

Teach, glad to hear he came through with flying colors! Dana, do you have a little wagon to put her in just in case? Pamy, how is your Dylan?

{{{Gal and Ally}}} You know, this is where I think research needs to concentrate--use of umbilical cells, included. I am glad she has such a smart aunt on her side, and I have the feeling the entire family working together just might come up with a miracle for dear Ally. Teach, I'm glad your ds came through the operation so well. Is he too old for us to send him some home-made "graphic cards" on this site or in your folder--- or e-cards sent to your PM? Would he like that? Might help him take his mind off the pain in his throat for a bit. (Same for Ally and Samantha--let us know!) Dana, good luck to Samantha (and you) in the parade. Let us know how she makes out. And how about some pix?! Pamy, is Dylan feeling his oats yet?

Sounds like our day, Pamy. We cuddled, OD'd on popsickles and basically went braindead watching TV. It was harder to keep him drinking today, but when I suggested he go in the whirlpool tub and drink his ice tea in there, he perked right up! LOL Hope Dylan gets back to that "wild self" soon! Herckle...I don't think he's too old. He gets a kick out of the fact that I have 'online' friends. My folder would be best...I don't use any type of IM. Dana and Samantha...Best of luck! Hope Samantha makes it and you don't have to carry her too much.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and good wishes. Texannie, that website is fabulous, some very positive support there - I've sent it to my SIL. Jmm, thank you also for the links - I've learned what I need to know for now from them (and for the most part it scared the crap out of me), but you can't fight what you don't know about. Hopefully I can keep on top of the internet research so that my brother and SIL don't feel they have to go torture themselves with the more gruesome details. You guys are the best, and my life would be so much less without you.

Bloodwork all came back clean -- which is great. But now we are back to square one. To throw a new ball in the pile, the DEP has found contamanents in our house (and several of our neighbors) from a dry cleaner that has been out of business for a while. They are getting a copy of the report for me to get to our pediatrician, alergist and rheumatologist so that they can see if this could be what is causing all of her problems. When I get the chemical names, I'll post them to see if any of you know anything about it. The dry cleaner is being very uncooperative. The DEP is paying to put reverse radon systems in all of our homes and then going after him to get their $$ back. If I get any indication that this is causing Samantha's medical problems, the DEP will be the least of that man's concerns! Teach - hope today went a little better for you. Pamy - hope Dylan is getting back to his "wild self" and Gal - I'm still praying for Ally and keeping your family in my thoughts.

Oops, sorry..His name is Matthew. Yeah (I think) for Dana! Hope they're able to use the drycleaner list to figure out what's really going on. How's Dylan today Pamy?

Dana, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you will soon be able to find out the cause for little Samantha's problems, so you can tackle them. Hey, Dylan, are ya wild enough yet to scoot up this way?

We got about 1/4 through the parade before she through in the towel! Was tired, knee hurt, and wanted to go home. Did not want to ride in the float so we just headed backward! She was out late for fireworks and was in no mood to be doing anything today! It was about 91 here and humid so that didn't help. Maybe next time - LOL

She tried, and you let her do that. You're right, the temp and humidity didn't help. So that was smart to just take her home. Let us know when you know something more about her dx and treatment, too, Dana. Still hoping for good news.

Thanks everyone. I got the DEP report today and have to fax it to her doctors. If they don't think that is it, I am not sure what else we can do. Luckily it has been pretty warm here - so she has at least been able to get in the pool every day -- that is the only thing that she doesn't say hurts her.

Congrats, Dana, for letter her try (and still supporting her decision to call it quits when it was too much). Hugs for BOTH of you!

Samantha was just diagnosed with walking pneumonia today -- any one have some tips for making her more comfortable. She also has one of her ear tubes coming lose and that ear is infected -- we haven't had an ear infection in over a year -- since she had the tubes put in. So - we are taking Zithramax this week and have a check up in four weeks - unless she gets any worse

((((((SAMANTHA)))))) Poor kid....sounds like she's got a rough month ahead of her. I can't believe the ENT is making her wait A MONTH if she's got a tube loose! Put something loose in his/her ear and see how fast they try to fix it! Good luck w/ it all!

Teach --- thanks -- she needed an extra hug today!!! We haven't talked to the ENT yet -- her pediatrician is just giving 3 - 4 weeks to let the meds work on the pneumonia. Her ear is one thing that she will tell me if it starts hurting her. I am okay waiting a month only because he did say to call immediately if she was any worse and we are able to get ahold of him immediately in case of an emergency. Anyone know how long it takes to see improvement with pneumonia? This is a new one for us!

Dana, Bless her little heart. How old is she? What most doctors call "walking pneumonia" is actually what is referred to as mycoplasma. "Walking" pneumonia is just a term they used when the pneumonia is not bad enough to require constant bed rest. Here is a good site for information, please read it carefully. It covers a lot more than just walking pneumonia and some of that can be scary. Mayo Clinic
