[The Duggars and Their World: Fashion, Food, Finance, Schoolin’ and Child Rearin']

I homeschooled my son and he has a job in a restaurant and is finishing up his second year of college.  No problems getting into either of them.  Of course I gave him a better education than our county would have.

I had two major allergic reactions by the time I was 8 or 9.  One to morphine which was given to me in a minor surgery.  I broke out into silver dollar size hives and stopped breathing.  Luckily I was in the children's ward of post surgery at a major hospital and was able to be quickly revived.  

The other was every earlier and oh lucky me, (sarcasm font) it was to Benedryl.  You know the stuff you take for an allergic reaction.  And yes, once again I stopped breathing. The doctor said I was the third person he had every seen allergic to it.  So I have to be extremely careful.  I am also allergic to Napresun and Sulfa and Cefa, but penicillin is just fine.  Sigh.

Yes, my best friend a couple of years ago took some ibuprofen, which she had taken all of her life and wound up in the ER.

I am also allergic to Benadryl.  It's embarrassing lol.

Gotta wonder if braces are even more painful as an adult. I had them as a kid, and whenever they were tightened, they hurt so badly. I dunno, Derick didn't look too bad before all this surgery. If nothing in there was endangering his health, I'd have said screw it and live with crooked teeth.

I've also never heard of braces being taken off and then put back on. Is that normal? I'd be cheesed to have to sit through the entire process again.

My daughter had her lower jaw moved forward and her palate widened with orthodontic appliances and was supposed to have braces put on twice as part of it.  Fortunately somehow she didn't need the second set put on.  I believe she would have needed the same surgery as Derick if she hadn't had the Herbst appliance and palate expander when she was young.  So it can be a normal thing to have braces put on twice.

[The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie]

My son is in community college in Maryland with just his homeschool credentials.  No GED or SAT was needed.  Of course I homeschooled him for high school because I didn't feel his school was rigorous enough, and I have a degree.  He did take placement testing and got into honors classes.  He's doing great in his second year and can transfer to four year university with just the credentials he has.  I realize this doesn't apply to the Duggars, but Jinger may not need a GED for college.
