Got my "I'm here" call last night at what must have been 1:13AM Central time. Long day for them! Probably longer today. Now I gotta find that "Proud Mom of a Sailor" bumper sticker to put on my car! :-)

Chris made it to MEPS hotel tonight and ships out tomorrow. He's feeling fine.

Well, thank you everyone for your support... and I'm off to the Boot Camp group!

Fair winds and a following sea!

Arwen- Give him some Ester-C..... Please. It will build his immune system up. My brother-in-law took it when my nephews were sick and he didn't catch anything.

My other two kids came down with fevers last night and still had them this morning. We're isolating them from Chris. This would be a disastrous time for him to come down with a fever. At least we know it's not the flu, we already suffered through that H1N!, and he's vaccinated for seasonal flu.

Michelle- Ester-c is also another good thing to take. You can buy it OTC @ most stores and you drink it everyday. yes, here up North it is cold!!! Chicago is colder because they are on the lake the wind chill is colder. We are used to it here. The besst defense is Hand Washing.

Thanks Brandy..This brings up another topic...This time of year we all get sick any way..and its extremly cold up north...If your DEPPER is not used to the cold weather you may want to call the dr and ask him/her what would be good for immune building as in VitC or what Brandy suggested...They are going not only to a totaly different climate but to a place where tons of germs are...These guys are sharing close quarters and all their germs...Ricky Crud is common but if they boost their immune systems before they go they may not get as sick.

Good Morning to all and WELCOME to all new members :)

Just some motherly insight. I have been sick for a while now, respritory, ( I work in medical) and get mandated all of the time. Anyhow I came to work not feeling well as usual and one of my co-workers asked gave me some Mrs. Braggs Aplle Cider Vinegar. Trust and beleive it is the nasties stuff I have ever tasted but I felt so much better. it is supose to strengthen your immune system. I feel better and have a lot more energy. If you decide to use this stuff drink it cold, I take 2 tsp. w/ 2 tsp. of water 3 times a day. They reccomend 2 times but I work the grave yard shift so I want that extra boost. It is organic and if you choose to purchase this this is what you need, (Mrs.Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic and at the bottom it will say with the mother) doesn't hurt to try it. I was completely amazed. I take Vit C etc. but this stuff really works. You will find it @ a Natural Food Store and is not expensive @ all.
