Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I'm going to my Dad's house (5 miles away) to cook dinner this year, but our hearts really aren't in it. It's a holiday that reminds us of Mom's passing (she passed away the day after thanksgiving 1987).

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Dear List, Recently, I have enjoyed the Thanksgiving messages from our members on the List. It is a nice break from any political or satirical hoopla. Maybe I am just being nosy, but knowing about others and their traditions gives me a feeling of comfort. My Thanksgiving will be celebrated differently than ever before. For the first time, I am going to visit my daughter at her place. Although it is not her permanent home, this will be the beginning of a new tradition........or maybe not. However, it does give a mother a tug at the heart to know that her child is grown and will be making her own plans. I am going to visit Katy while she is in Atlanta with the Radio City tour. ( Please, no statements of the pros and cons of show biz for LP's). While there, I will also visit my nieces whom live in Georgia and Alabama. Since Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I feel so blessed that I am able to be with my favorite daughter on this special occasion! Happy Turkey Day to all of you, and please share news of your plans, even if it is just eating dinner with your animal friends. Sincerely, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Glen, You sound like a very special person and your Thanksgiving email is one that I am keeping to reread off and on. I know how hills and valleys of lyme are as well as cancer but lyme is worse after these 9 yrs. Cancer was much easier and the year of chemo. Thank you so much for your words. They came at a perfect time. God Bless, Bev G. Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thank you and Tina for your kind words. It is interesting to me that I have found a few people who have had other (serious) illnesses and said that they were in a sense " easier " than Lyme. I can see the point - Lyme is so totally invasive and unpredictable, etc. (as we all know all too well!!)<<UGG!>>. Now: many thanks to you both for encouraging words and I wish you each peace and better health. Have an uplifting and meaningful holiday season too.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Tamara: Dining with friends I will bring the following to ensure I survive: A free range fresh killed turkey. I make stuffing with spelt bread/rice and lots of veggies, shitake mushrooms. I mash baked sweet potatoes with pomegranate juice and add reconstituted dried pineapple and mango bits from HFS. I made a key lime pie (and will pay the price for cheating) Cranberry relish fresh made with an orange and honey. Steamed asparagus with ghee. All in all, not too terrible for an O. ~Merrill~ " Saving one animal may not change the world... But surely, for that one animal, Life will change forever...

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 If you can get some answers to the food sensory issues I am all ears because Micah is exactly like Meghan. He has a limited amount of foods he will eat and nothing changes it. I even took him twice to feeding specialists and they did nothing that I didn't try but I must admit I have just about given up as of late. I think nothing short of taking him to a hospital setting where they do nothing but work on his feeding issues is going to work. He gets a chewable multi vitamin and his ped said he is in good health but I don't know about that when you are not getting the varied diet you need. Spaghetti or rice every day for lunch. Baby cereal with fruit evey morning for breakfast and spaghetti, mashed potatoes, rice or on occasion mac and cheees for dinner. He will eat ice cream and chips (notice a pattern here) but other foods are occasional like yogurt, banana, blueberries, strawberries, only when he really feels like it. I am interested as always to see if anyone has any new ideas.  loree Thanksgiving  Hello Everyone, I am reading peoples posts about mis-diagnosis, use of meds etc. I work in the psych field and see this so often.

Part of the virus is to get yucky sores in your mouth and throat...well she had that.....and because she has issues with taste and texture there was NO WAY that she would use the lidocaine wash so that the sores wouldn't hurt.....so her mouth hurt...she stopped eating or drinking...got severley dehydrated..a bowel obstruction..got a urinary tract infection that proceeded to a severe kidney infection....and on and on and on......she was down for three weeks and finally got better enough to start school a week late.....now she is great! An interesting note is that we had started several months earlier with a new pediatrician group....when Meghan was first ill I tried to get them to work with me...no luck...however I found a wonderful Indian Doctor who runs his own pediatric Urgent Care.....what a gift....when she finally had to be admitted to the hospital her original pediatric group were the ones who were the Docs on call there.....They were stunned.....and actually took the time to ask what had happened when I approached their office in the early stages of her illness.....so I told them and they did listen and their care of her and their willingness to listen to me was great from then on......* * * *Meghan still likes to call herself a " boy " ....she soooo wishes she could grow a mustache!!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I don't know if I have an answer but I can tell you that my son , now 11yo, did not eat solid/table food until he was 5yo. Some of what I did was call everything I could " french fries " . I found that if I told him a food looked like something he liked he would at least eat 1 bite. I also found that he had a habit of using food for control. He would eat different foods for different people. At daycare he helped fix and eat lunch daily however, if I fixed the same meal at home with his help he wouldn't eat it. It was very frustrating but I stuck to it and now other that meats that require a lot of chewing he has a varied diet. It was a battle but it was definitely worth it.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 We have good friends who have a child with autism, and he had severe feeding issues, primarily with textures. The tried many things, and ended up at the s Hopkins feeding clinic with amazing results. It was hard work, but he eats a much more vaired diet these days, and is also willing to try different things,which was impossible before. It's intensive, but for them, it was amazing. , mom to (14), (11 DS), and Sammy (10) Loree5@... wrote: > > > If you can get some answers to the food sensory issues I am all ears > because Micah is exactly like Meghan.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Liam gets in 'food ruts' all the time. During Thanksgiving dinner he decided not to eat. His Aunt reached over, picked up his food and fed him. Something I wouldn't do, but it worked. It turned out to be more of a question of attention, than texture or taste. I think sometimes it's a control thing.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 OMG..this is too funny. often does the same thing and once someone gives him the first bite, then he eats just fine. For Thanksgiving, we sat at the dining room table and was ready to have a meltdown. Everyone was asking him what he wanted..green beans, more mashed potatoes, etc. Tim even went to give him his first bite. I asked him if he wanted his pink tray - and that was what he wanted. We have those old tupperware food trays that he prefers to have his food on, only he takes his tray down to the Mattcave. Tim said it's time we end this and I told him I have the perfect idea...next time he wants his food on a pink tray, we'll put ours on a pink tray, too and join him in the Mattcave Thanksgiving > > Hello Everyone, > > I am reading peoples posts about mis-diagnosis, use of meds etc. I work in > the psych field and see this so often.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I thought about on Thanksgiving. His aunt made a spinach souffle. Since Liam is not a fan of spinach we told him they were just green eggs from the book Green Eggs and Ham. Got a laugh and he ate them! Re: Thanksgiving OMG..this is too funny. often does the same thing and once someone gives him the first bite, then he eats just fine. For Thanksgiving, we sat at the dining room table and was ready to have a meltdown. Everyone was asking him what he wanted..green beans, more mashed potatoes, etc. Tim even went to give him his first bite. I asked him if he wanted his pink tray - and that was what he wanted. We have those old tupperware food trays that he prefers to have his food on, only he takes his tray down to the Mattcave. Tim said it's time we end this and I told him I have the perfect idea...next time he wants his food on a pink tray, we'll put ours on a pink tray, too and join him in the Mattcave Thanksgiving > > Hello Everyone, > > I am reading peoples posts about mis-diagnosis, use of meds etc. I work in > the psych field and see this so often.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 If you haven't read the original protocol, I would suggest it since it addresses things like this... http://www.hcgdietinfo.com/Dr-ATW-Simeons-Pounds-and-Inches.htm From: <chx2@...> Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 10:37:28 AMSubject: Thanksgiving I will be on day 26 of a 40 day cycle on Thanksgiving.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 There is no SPLURGING on the HCG diet. The food will be there when the diet it over and your metabolism has been reset. Always remember....nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels!From: <chx2@...> Sent: Thu, November 4, 2010 12:37:28 PMSubject: Thanksgiving I will be on day 26 of a 40 day cycle on Thanksgiving.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 We had some bad news the day after Thanksgiving. Our son Tom called and told us that his wife, Sherry, had had a heart attack and was in the hospital. She was having chest pains and pains coming down her arm, so they called 911 for an ambulance. They kept her until Monday and then did a heart catherization. They didn't find a blockage and guessed that maybe the problem healed itself. A test of some kind of enzymes showed that she had had a heart attack. Sherry is only 39, so this came as a big shock. They have a baby girl born in September, along with a boy, 3, and a boy, 2. There are some early heart attacks in her family, but none quite this early. I hope that this will at least get her to quit smoking.
