Yup. Though mine is only 16 (almost 17)..

:grouphug:

She on amoxicillin and that's a type of penicillan (right?). I think I'll call them tomorrow and ask if they want to test her or wait, but not sure if I should keep giving her the antibotics?

I know I'm new here, but I've lurked the boards for years now and I thought maybe someone had some advice, I know there are nurses/doctors on this board. My 14 year old daughter has been under the weather for about 2 weeks now but it has gotten worse so I took her to the doctors today.They said she had a sinus infection. She has a runy nose, is congested, sore throat, wheezing, extremely tired and sore. After we got home she said that her stomache (under her ribs) has been hurts really badly. She's not one who complains about pain at all. She even asked to stay home from dance because she didn't feel good. I got thinking about it and I think it's more than I sinus infection. So I started researching and she has many symptoms of Mono. One of her best friends had it a couple weeks ago (of course I didn't think about this before the doctors!) I don't know if it could be mono? Should I take dd back to the doctors tomorrow or wait it out until she's on antibotics for awhile and see if she gets better? :bigear:

The biggest thing I want to drop is Co-op. It's not really academic (there are a few classes that are) but it takes up almost a whole day. My biggest problem with that is my kids love it! They have a lot of friends and they love being a part of the classes and there are some subjects we wouldn't cover otherwise.

Our local highschool has World History, AP European History and an elective on Ancient History. I don't think that's the norm. :confused1:

Between driving my 14 year old everywhere, my 12 year old constantly doing things to annoy other people on purpose, my 8 year olds attitude, (Sometimes I think it's worse than my teenagers!) my 4 year olds clingyness and my 2 year old getting into everything I'm about to lose it. :willy_nilly: I also have a 16 year old but she is BUSY (school, CC, a job, etc), I rarely even see her anymore! My 14 year old is gone from 12-6 if not later at our dance studio. Something needs to change. I'm at the point I just want to put them in school. I burn out every year usually after the holidays but by March we're usually doing better. Not this year. How do you manage everything? I use to to be able to do it, I don't know whats changed that much, My kids have gotten older. I feel like I'm not doing my best in anything I do because I'm stretching myself to thin. I'm all :bigear:'s?

:iagree: I thought it would get easier when they got older. I was wrong, it's gotten worse!
