Asthma, STA-21, commissioning, in addition to PCSing-- Yikes!

Are you lot there, blog? It's me, Kimber.

It has been awhile since my concluding weblog post service in addition to what a summertime it has been!

for my husband's commissioning weekend

Our asthmatic toddler had a flair upward 3 weeks after nosotros weaned him off Pulmicort nether our doctor's guidance. He hadn't had whatever flair ups in addition to nosotros wanted to meet if he even then needed daily medication inward the summertime months, equally he is two-years one-time in addition to is even then considered to get got "reactive airways." He caught croup which became bronchitis. We landed inward the ER, next upward alongside our pediatrician who thankfully followed upward alongside us over the telephone equally well. Poor footling guy was on Orapred inward July, dorsum on twice daily Pulmicort doses via nebulizer, and, during the flair up, Albuterol every 3-4 hours. We are keeping him on twice daily doses for 3 weeks earlier considering to wean him downwards to ane time a day, what he was on from May to the get-go of July. We've too considered Singulair. We'll see. I'm going to acquire inward in addition to speak to our pediatrician ane time to a greater extent than earlier nosotros motion from North Carolina to South Carolina (in 8 days). I'm really (very, very, very) anxious nigh switching pediatricians this unopen to mutual frigidity in addition to influenza season, particularly since he has needed Orapred 3 times inward a calendar twelvemonth in addition to did the Synagis vaccine concluding year-- too the break of ER visits he has needed. I experience that our electrical flow pediatrician is extremely involved inward managing his asthma in addition to that nosotros have fantabulous aid from that office. The nurses know him. The forepart desk knows him. Our pediatrician is upward to engagement on his handling whenever nosotros acquire inward to speak to her in addition to she calls us when he's having flair ups. Yeah, non certain nosotros volition detect soul similar her at the hospital on base, but we'll see. The hospital inward Hawaii had peachy doctors, but it was difficult to acquire an appointment in addition to at that spot was a lot of waiting. I too similar having the children's ER then unopen to us now, where nosotros accept him straight off when he needs help. In Hawaii nosotros went to Tripler, which did non get got a children's ER in addition to had actually long waits. I'm praying the hospital inward South Carolina is much to a greater extent than upward to engagement than inward Hawaii or nosotros may hold upward switching him to TRICare Standard instead of keeping him on Prime. This is our firstly motion alongside an asthmatic child.

Ah, yes, tin you lot meet at that spot is a lot on my mind?

Our pack out is inward 8 days. Our solid is NOT laid for the movers to come. My hubby graduated in addition to commissioned this past times week. Our three-year remain hither inward North Carolina has come upward to an end. It feels similar nosotros simply moved here. In my "STA-21, it has said:
I started this weblog to speak nigh our life equally an active duty armed services family. With our electrical flow assignment, the focus has been much to a greater extent than on the family side of things than the Navy, generally since the exclusively fourth dimension I get got whatever Navy interaction is picking my hubby upward at the ROTC or the Navy/Marine Corps birthday ball.
That is all starting to change. I posted a weblog summarizing what the STA-21 computer programme is dorsum inward May (read "Seaman to Admiral "Officer's" Program"). As I said, my hubby simply graduated, getting his score inward mechanical engineering inward 3-years alongside a married adult woman in addition to iii kids. I am then impressed alongside his accomplishment! It was a challenging route in addition to oft tested our matrimony (read "Marriage"), simply due to the stress of the computer programme in addition to the pressures of parenthood. One of my favorite things nigh this studly human being that I married is that nosotros ever come upward out closer in addition to amend when nosotros acquire through these challenges. I really experience nosotros are to a greater extent than inward beloved straight off than when nosotros got married over half dozen years ago.

Now that he's graduated it is off to Power School. I know I posted data nigh this inward my weblog post service "Seaman to Admiral "Officer's" Program," but hither is a quick summary again. Before my hubby goes dorsum to submarines (and starts going underway), he even then needs to consummate 3 Navy schools: ability school, prototype, in addition to Submarine Officer Basic School. When he enlisted simply over nine years agone he went through ability schoolhouse in addition to prototype. Now that he's commissioned equally an officer, he has to acquire through them again, this fourth dimension equally an officer. We are moving to South Carolina for him to acquire through ability school. It is a 6 calendar month schoolhouse in addition to nosotros volition hold upward alongside him the whole time, though he volition get got long hours. Once he finishes ability school, he volition get got to create epitome in addition to Submarine Officer Basic School (SOBC). Prototype is 6 months long in addition to nosotros volition too hold upward alongside him the whole time, again, long hours. He may create epitome inward South Carolina, important nosotros won't get got to motion again, or he may create it inward upstate New York, important nosotros would hold upward moving again. We won't detect out where he is doing epitome until approximately the fourth dimension he finishes ability school, or simply after. SOBC is nigh 2 months long in addition to is unaccompanied. It is inward Connecticut. He may acquire through SOBC after he completes ability schoolhouse or after he completes prototype; again, nosotros won't detect that out until later. Our lives for the side past times side 1-2 years volition hold upward really "wait in addition to see." We are simply form of taking all of this equally it comes in addition to making plans ane time nosotros know for certain what nosotros are doing (a big argue why nosotros decided to homeschool for the side past times side pair years). I'm certain I've shared this weblog alongside you lot before, but I get got institute this weblog helpful when learning nigh these 3 schools (I didn't know my hubby when he went through them the firstly time), "Navy Nuclear Power School Rundown," "Navy Prototype Rundown (Ballston Spa Version)," in addition to "Submarine Officer Basic School (SOBC) Rundown."

I'm a footling nervous nigh making friends again, particularly alongside 3 footling boys now. I experience similar it volition hold upward a lot for my new, unsuspecting friends to accept in. :) They aren't equally portable straight off that they are 5-years one-time in addition to 2-years old; they get got footling minds of their own. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to bring together a local twin grouping there. I get got enjoyed the playdates in addition to the twice yearly consignment sale alongside my local twin grouping hither inward North Carolina. We shall see. I may simply hold upward busy balancing my husband's schedule in addition to homeschooling our oldest inward 5-year one-time preschool. I experience similar my firstly priority volition hold upward finding activities for our boys.

The side past times side pair weeks volition hold upward busy for us. I would beloved to write ane time to a greater extent than soon; it helps me experience to a greater extent than calm in addition to at peace alongside the world. I've been working on a pair weblog posts that I haven't had fourth dimension to goal or edit in addition to would similar to hopefully get them up, you lot know, when things settle down. Man, I get got no thought what it volition hold upward similar PCSing alongside 3 kids-- including 2-year one-time twins in addition to a dog! We are inward for an adventure!


I'd beloved to listen from you!

If you lot get got an sentiment on using TRICare Prime or TRICare Standard, delight share!

Also, I'd beloved to listen your tips on PCSing alongside lots of kids! The concluding fourth dimension nosotros PCS'd, nosotros exclusively had ane kid in addition to he was 2-years old.
