Health Insurance

Thank God or at least the US Navy for health insurance! Here is what we have been up to lately...

April 12, Easter - Take Morgan to the ER after her fever of 105 didn't let up all day. Determined she had a UTI, start nasty tasting antibiotics.
April 16 - Take Morgan to the Dr for a follow up. She has a clean bill of health. Take Nora because she has 104.4 fever. They determine she has strep and start her on amoxicillin. Also get referred to a pediatric cardiologist because he heard a heart murmur and wants to be sure it is nothing.
April 18 - Ben sees the boat Doc for a fever over 105. Strep is blamed again.
April 21 - Take Morgan to the urgent care in Yulee, FL (inside a wal-mart no less) because she has an allergic reaction to something, we think it is either crab or chlorine. Prescribed prednisone.
April 22 - Take Morgan to the regular Dr. so we can get a referral to an allergist in GA (had one in SC, but now we are starting over).
April 26 - Take Nora to the urgent care because she is covered head to toe in a rash. They determine she is allergic to amoxicillin. Prescribe prednisone.
April 28 - Score a speedy appointment to the cardiologist in JAX. Heart murmur is no big deal, not a heart defect. But he is concerned about the rash and starts asking me a lot of questions. He said before there was a blood test for mono they used to give kids amoxicillin to see if they broke out in a rash. If they did then they had mono not strep. He didn't want me thinking she was allergic to the antibiotic if she wasn't because it is used for so many different things.
April 29 - Take Nora to base Dr. They determine that she does indeed have mono. I have to admit this freaked me out a little at first, but the Dr. wasn't very concerned and with doing some research online I'm not either. And am pleased that she was able to get this illness out of the way when she was young so it doesn't get her later. Here is a link with some information about mono in case you have any questions or concerns...http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/infectious-mononucleosis-topic-overview
June 8th - Heading to the allergist...

Things

Wow I am a total slacker! 20 days without a real post...lame. Okay so we haven't been sitting around doing nothing. We went to the zoo, the beach to watch the USS Maryland to return, enjoyed opening day, hunted butterflies, a few egg hunts, decorated eggs, got some fun Easter presents (Thanks Grandma Mary, Grandpa Marty, Grandma Sal and Grandma Katie), a trip to Chuck E. Cheese, Moe's and Krispy Creme, haircuts, a visit from the Easter Bunny, Nora and Ben went to a baseball game, we all went to the ER with Morgan (just a really high fever due to a UTI), decorated some bunny houses, and visited the doctor for Nora (some crazy fever and sore throat). Since then we have been prisoners in the house as to not spread our lovely germs with all our wonderful friends and many strangers. Now Ben is down for the count.

Here are some photos from our adventures!
