Need Advice!

[Guest guest]

I'm hoping for some insight, please!

My son has been complaining of severe pain in his left shoulder blade

since Thursday... I brought him into Children's Hospital ER for evaluation that

night since he normally has a very high tolerence for pain, and this pain was

causing him not to use the whol arm and brought him to screaming tears if I

touched it. He does not believe that he injured it in any way, and he has a

history of wierd viral joint infections in his past (although they usually hit

his hip or knee)...He has had no fever, but has been on Motrin round the clock

since Thursday so I'm paranoid that it could be hidden....He rates his pain

between an 8 and 9 out of 10, and I explained to the doctors that unlike most

kids, he has a frame of reference (his 10 is a meningitis headache).

So the ER doctors ruled our dislocation, and x-rays and bloodwork were all

normal according to them, although I asked for a copy of the blood work and it

says that his white count is 14,000 (flagged High), and his ANC was over 10,000

(also flagged High). Bear in mind that my kids usually run at least moderately

neutropenic (sometimes below 200) and I've never seen an ANC above 5000 in

. They did page immunology and talked to one of the fellows (our immuno

was not on page and was also not available yesterday when I tried to call his

office myself).

They had initially suspected an infection in the bone and said that even if the

blood came back normal they would order a bone scan for the morning. Then after

talking to immunology it was decided not to do that since he has had very few

bacterial breakthroughs while on IVIG or SubQ... although he has recently gained

weight and has not changed dosage in a year... We were advised to bring him in

again if it worsened, or if it was not better by Monday. We were given an Rx

for Tylenol with Codeine and sent home.

So, you know the drill.... I'm still worried. He refuses the Codeine because

even if I give a smaller dose on a full stomach he projectile vomits all over

the house, and he is still in a huge amount of pain even if I touch the area

feather-light.... It is not warm to touch, or discolored in any way. It just

hurts him to the point of screaming if he moves it even the slightest... he

won't even lean back on a soft cushion.

OK, so my questions...

Am I crazy to still be worried about infection? How high are the white and ANC

counts considered... are they really normal? Even though he is no worse, would

you still wait until Monday to be seen? If they have ruled out dislocation, a

fracture, or damage to the muscle, and do not suspect infection, what the heck

else could it be???

Any thoughts appreciated!

Thank you!

HI,

I have a few questions today.

I want to make a long lasting perfume, for myself. I am going to put it

in a bottle that does not have a spray top.

What would be the best ingredients to use?

I am also confused about, whether to use some sort of alcohol or not?

Do I need to use alcohol? If so, which one?

I obviously never made perfume before, so I am brand spanking new to

this, and need all the help and advice I can get.

I googled it, but ended up being confused about it, so I am asking the

experienced people here.

Thanks for all your help and advice ;-)

Hi Go to the files as there is a wealth of information.. if you want a

longer lasting perfume then I would suggest that you increase your base notes.

Plus I would go for an oil rather than and alcohol carrier as it will sit on

your skin longer.hope this helpsJanitaJanita Haan custom natural
