Hello ladies, yes Rose, they have antibiotics. My son had his wisdom teeth removed and he was on antibiotics for a week and is now back in the game. He called last night and told me that he was down on bed rest from the wisdom teeth (yes, I didn't say TOOTH) extractions from Wednesday to Sunday and on pain medication. He is back and geared up, passed all of his PTs and ready for the rest of the 21 days to come to an end.

Gaile....My son left 10/28. He call me 11/19 and the next day 11/20 when he call again I can hear he was worse than the day before. And when he finally went for medicine was 11/25 and he said it work for worse. But my son to said that he is very sick is just....so when I read the letter yesterday I start crying like crazy, as a mom you always think that is nobody better than you to take care of your babies, even that they are teenagers (I have two mores at home) or a men, Jo. But today I fell better TG and just waiting for that letter/call to tell me that everything is ok. He even mention in the letter : "Mom you know I'm toff than the cold, so no time to waste". But as a mom....Thank you for your encourage words!!!

For those of you whose SRs will be making flight arrangements from BC today 12/1: have y'all seen any activity in their bank account in regards to purchasing their tickets? Or have they called today letting you know?
S got paid today and has his debit cards w/him to make the purchase. The thing is, he has both of his cards for different checking accounts (we have one that we use for bills & one for spending). Hopefully he'll call/write/I'll see posted account activity so I know what's going on, haha.

The ribbons are all hand made by me. I charge $5.00 each & shipping and that just covers materials and expenses. They are made to show support for your sailor and make a great keepsake for a scrapbook, frame, or shadow box. I only sell them on this site so everyone you see with them on are N4M members. They are about 5" tall depending on how long the name is and the pictures do not do them justice. They look much better in person. I will post a couple of pics below and you can also go to my page and see more sample as well as some of the scrapbook items I make for Navy scrapbooks. To order just click on my name and send me a friend request and I will send you all the info for ordering. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been really missing my sailor today on her 21st Birthday.

Hi Rose When did your son leave for BC? Mine left 10/27. He was sick with a cold/[?] when he left & still sounded terrible when he called last Friday[11/26]. But won't go to sick bay, won't loss time. You know, we have to let loose & let God. Praying for your boy & you & all the Service & families:) Hope this helps even just a little. God bless:)
Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 1, 2010 at 9:23pm
I receive a letter and I cry like crazy. He said he is very sick, almost pass out, dizzy, got pink eye. Take some medicine and make it worse.Throat Infected but he said I'm stronger than that mom. He sound other than that ok. But of course as a mom hear that make me want to be there to take care of him. I'm praying that this weekend he (them) get to call home. I really need to hear his voice. I wonder (he don't say it) when they get sick like that if they have like antibiotics. He mention that he is waiting for that call also. But at the end he said 24 more days, so I know he is positive. Thank you Lord because you give strength, a positive attitude and for taking care of him. He is in your hand, you have the control. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Hello Ladies! I received two letters yesterday...he was quite the little chatterbox in them! He continues to sound really good! Yay! Talked about how he really loved marching because he thinks they look really good! :) The whole time I'm thinking...who on earth LOVES marching??? :) He is pretty pumped about the things that are coming up this week.
I always knew the military was what he wanted... I just didn' believe it could have such an impact on him so fast!
Friday is coming...most of my calls have been on Fridays so here's hoping I talk to him again in a couple of days! :)
