I need some guidance, please. I have TSA precheck clearance and travel quiet frequently with two kids, my bio son(4) & bonus daughter (15). My husband is also always there ( bonus daughters bio dad) who also has a precheck, but last minute couldn't travel. I still planned a trip and booked flights for bio son, bonus daughter was not on that reservation as she originally didn't want to go, changed her mind and instead of canceling and rebooking us all, I just purchased her flight. The reservations are linked, but now she's not under me and not showing precheck. When we fly, will they even allow her to come with me through precheck? Should I cancel everything and rebook? Or just start her own TSA pre check application?

Normally, I wouldn't care and just plan to go through standard TSA, but a few weeks ago, I flew out of Pittsburgh, and the line was literally out the door. I dont want that fight with a 4 year old.

Also, adding that we all have passports, kids included.

TW: Blood

Some context; we live in a area with very dry hot temps. Right night the weather is mild but it’s also the start of allergy season.

Ive noticed this year my son (3) has started to have a bit of allergy reactions, runny nose, sneezing more than usual etc. At first I thought it might be from daycare/school as he does attend group care but after a few weeks chopped it up to mild allergies.

Last week his sneezing started to include more snotty discharge, initially all normal colors, but slowly started to have a few bloody boogers, nothing I wouldn’t consider normal?

Then last night. My son was in his room playing, I hear him sneeze twice, I yell “bless you”, and nothing. Then I hear him low whining again not screaming or crying just whining so I get up to go see what’s wrong and walk into the most terrifying scene. Blood is everywhere.

I’m not exaggerating when I say it was everywhere, initially I couldn’t even tell the source, because there was large amount on him, in his mouth, hands, etc. It was excessive. I scoop him up and get him in a position where I can figure out the source and as I’m reviewing looking for teeth out, busted lips, etc. I figure out it’s his nose. The sneezing caused a massive nose bleed. I’ve personally never experienced that much blood for a nose bleed in an adult let alone a toddler.

The bleeding did immediately stop but the fact those two sneezes prompted the much out spurt has me concerned. I did call and leave a message for the on call pediatrician but haven’t heard back.

Has anyone experienced this? He’s fine this morning, slept fine, eating breakfast etc. but we have soccer this morning and I’m concerned with letting him participate. His nose is no longer bleeding but there is clear residual blood and I can tell by looking the nostril does have a little fresh blood.
