Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Amy great to hear from you! Glad to hear Kep is continuing to make progress in many areas, but it does sound like OT may be a good thing to add with his sensory issues. Just an idea for a coat. Maybe it will fly, or not, but for quite a few years wore a quilted flannel shirt as a jacket. I know it's not enough for your weather, but it would be better than nothing if he would wear it. It's more like wearing a shirt than a jacket and still prefers to wear those. I hope Cam is doing better and the gallbladder or whatever it was does not act up again, and it sounds like you handled Bethany's anxiety about her friend quite well. Don't worry about posting. We'll still be here when you do, or well the list will. I tend to drop in and out also depending on the mayhem here. I know - in your spare time - try to take care of yourself too!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hi Amy ! Glad to hear Kep is improving and that he's willingly taking the medication for it. Maybe he's finally figured out that it helps him feel better? Sorry Bethany was so upset about her friend. Didn't she lose one before from school or do I have her confused with someone else? Glad you're not doing too badly, considering. Hope they figure out what's up with Cam soon and can take care of it. Keep us posted!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Deb, how are you feeling today? Bobby & mary Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Bobby & Anne, I'm feeling fine - just a tiny bit sore at the biopsy site. Wish it had felt like this yesterday!! C'est la vie - at least I was prepared for it to hurt. I'm STILL waiting to hear whether I have to go to the hospital or not, though, and that's a bit nerve wracking even though I've pretty much decided that it is a done deal that I'll have to go. My biggest fear is that the problem in pathology will be bigger and I'll have to do the test again! I'm going to insist that they do another set of labs on me before I agree to that - especially since I'm feeling so much better than I was earlier this week. Thanks for checking on me. I'm going to go hang out with Noah for a bit and then finish packing. (Maybe if I'm ready, I won't have to go??? We'll see...) Bobby how are you these days?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Deb, knock on wood, he is doing the BEST since transplant (2-4-04)...AMEN!!! Yes, GO PACK, that way you will be ready and MIGHT not have to go!!!ha Bobby & Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (((((((((((((donna-marie)))))))))) Sinus infections are miserable!! I have found sleeping in a semi sitting position helps my sinus drain and reduces morning pressure. Steam and salt water is helpful. Just boil a pot of water with epsom salt or regular salt put towel over your head and let the steam do the trick. I also use warm compresses on my face. Add a little lavender oil to the compress. I will help relax your facial tension. I also drink lemon tea. don't know if it helps but it makes me feel better. I would imagine that taking vit c can help mobilize your body to fight the infection. I really hope you are feeling better soon. Lots of gentle hugs, Tami > > Hi all,How are you all doing? I am again on a different antibiotics due to Sinus infection, ear infection and a chest infection seems like a never ending cycle I am tired after not sleeping at all last night, Been told to try and sleep sitting up going to be fun! Anyone got any advice on how to best cope with painful chest and what position is best > > From Miss Donna-marie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I used to get sinus infections all the time then I had acupuncture. This has helped me for over ten years. I don't suffer like I used to. I also flush my sinuses out with saline when their playing up. There are special plastic bottle and saline powder kits available or a neti pot. I also spray saline up my nostrils on a regular basis. I used to be sick almost every day with sinusitis now I am lucky to get sick once a year.
