Must be an epidemic or something

[annearchy]

1. I'm starting to think there's something in the water, or some kind of negative aura involved...Since my mother died on January 15th, at least 4 other co-workers have lost a parent or parent-in-law...and three of those happened in the past 2 weeks. Today I signed 2 sympathy cards and spoke with one fellow whose mother-in-law died last weekend. So

Thank goodness Chicken Little Kevin is gone. He was the new face for votefortheworst.com. I think it is cruel to put through someone who is obviously not on the same playing field, gets their hopes up too much.

Boo has episodic asthma triggered by sickness. He actually has done a lot better since they switched his allergy medication and doesn't get sick near as often. Maybe that's something to look at. *shrugs* Poor Maya, I know it sucks to be sick.

We had Maya tested for allergies about 18 months ago and she supposedly doesn't have any. BUT she's supposed to be taking FloVent or one of those daily inhaler things, and she doesn't because she hates the taste. So maybe she'd be sick less if she actually took the meds. *headdesk*

Boo doesn't do the nasal inhaler like he's supposed to but they put him on a daily oral dose of Singulair which has done wonders. He'd been on Claritin and other things but this one has really worked and the coughs and colds have been reduced a lot.

Well, if Maya keeps showing symptoms of allergies (that is without the lovely colored stuff that infection brings) maybe testing again wouldn't be such a bad idea. I was amazed at how much changes between Boo's yearly checkups at his allergist.

Is it a pill or a liquid? She's terrified of pills :( I know, she should know how to swallow them, she'll be 10 in August. But right now she doesn't know how.

It's chewable and Boo loves them. He is fussy about chewables so it can't taste awful. He claims it is cherry.
