Lenora left a comment for Pat"Hey Pat, update on Drew:
My son was left in home port for the last two months of deployment. They assigned him TD to the hospital to track down the GI tract problem. He's in a weird limbo place right now. I hope your daughter is feeling much…"
Lenora commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim's group Oklahoma Sailors"I'm glad to get these rain breaks in the middle of summer. Even though we've had to clear the pool a lot. I do feel bad for people trying to relax and enjoy the pool on campus. Football will be a nice fall diversion. I'm excited for…"
Lenora left a comment for Pat"Drew said he is getting better as they get closer to home waters. It may have something to do with water systems on board. Don't know if he was the worst on board, but others had similar problems. Hope your kids are well. Don't know if…"

Lenora commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim's group Oklahoma Sailors"Hi Military Mom! So glad you joined the OK group. Tell us the current story of your sailor. I'm really hoping my son will be able to call home this weekend. He's on a 6 mo cruise, and I miss his voice. I have three daughters, one son, and…"
Lenora commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim's group Oklahoma Sailors"I've been in Shawnee a couple of times. It's had some growth in the last 10 years. We house-hunted in Broken Arrow one year, so quite familiar with it, and sorry we didn't end up there. Love that area, and Tulsa. We have 42 days to…"
Lenora commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim's group Oklahoma Sailors"Cool! Just saw the Rentz is Oliver Hazard Perry class just like the Doyle. So will Trevor be a 'widget'? That term seems vaguely familiar for electronics personnel. Doyle is FFG 39, so a bit older than Rentz. later,"
Lenora commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Tim's group Oklahoma Sailors"Hi Tim, I live in Norman. Drew is on the USS Doyle out of Mayport. That's the one duty station we always wanted but never got ourselves. So I'll be heading out to visit him next summer. If they're not deployed like this summer.…"

I've never had so many goosebumps or so much pride running through my veins as when the graduates marched into the building, band playing, flags waving. Not only was I so excited to see my son for the first time in months, but in…"

Lenora left a comment for Pat"Well I hope your daughter gets an answer to her physical pain. It is worrisome when our kids are so far away and having those problems. And you being an RN, I'm sure you want to jump in and find out what the real problem is. I was a young mom…"

Pat said… - I just read your comment above about Drew being ill & having to be hooked up to an IV each night for dehydration. As an RN, I'm sorry I find that totally unacceptable. Obviously if he requires IV hydration every night there is something going on & he should be placed on SIQ (sp?). I'm starting to have real issues w/ military medical as my daughter has been having intermittent severe abdominal pain for months. Twice they told her she had a UTI but she was asymptomatic & then prescribed a very low dose antibiotic. I told her to go back to medical & ask that the medication be reviewed as it was a pediatric dose & an antibiotic that is not commonly used for a UTI. Last time they sent her for an xray of her abdomen when they should have ordered an ultrasound or a ct of the abdomen/pelvis. I hope Andrew will recieve proper medical care & he should start drinking gatorade or something similar. Frustrating when our kids are so far away:(

Navydads co-admin (Terry) said… - Lstrebeck, “Welcome Aboard”. I am glad that you have joined us. This site is for you to use and enjoy. We love to talk about our sailors around here and we have been known to brag on them a little. We are also here to support and encourage each other. After all we are all in this together. I have two sons and they are both in the military. My youngest joined the Air Force 5 years ago. My oldest joined the Navy and is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Drew for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.
Terry

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads Istrebeck! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors- my son Eric just returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat returned last fall from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Istrebeck this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Drew is doing! Best Regards- Paul

I'm so glad to have the Navy Moms on here to keep us men in line. My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Drew for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
