Kids and heartburn

Delaney has been complaining of a burning in her chest since Thursday evening. It sounded similar to heartburn but without all of the symptoms I know I experience with it. So I wasn't exactly sure how to treat it or really what it was. After she complained again today (this makes the 3rd day she's mentioned it) I decided to call an advice nurse. We ended up going into the doctor who prescribed Zantac twice a day for 2 weeks along with no caffeine, no spicy foods, no chocolate, etc. He said that it is fairly common in kids and didn't seem too concerned. She goes back to she her doctor in 2 weeks and we will she how she's doing. I'm just trying to figure our what would cause a 6 year old to get heartburn. She's not stressed about anything and her diet hasn't changed at all. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this with their kids or if anyone one (Aunt Peggy or Aunt Shirley, for instance :) might know anything about it. I guess for now I will search the web and see what I find.

Sick Days

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. Thursday night Dallas woke up sick to his stomach. After that it was like dominoes. We each had our bout with the "sickness." Luckily it only lasted about 12 hours or so. I kept the kids seperated once they were sick, but they must have already been contagious or something, because they all had a touch of it. Denae was sick the longest with a little bit of an upset stomach, but she didn't have it as bad as the others. Anyway, we are all better now and hopefully will stay so for at least a little while!
