Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Kimber, I was so relieved to hear the good news. From as much as I know you, I can imagine that you work very hard to maintain meticulous records, dotting those I's and crossing those T's. I was thinking about that the other day, about what an incredible asset you have been to your previous employers and how hard that much have been to not be able to maintain that level of performance. I wanted you to know that I am looking forward to the future when you will have had time to work past the disability, adjust to your new lifestyle, etc. You have so much to offer and it will be fun to get together on some projects or something. I find your hobbies interesting, too. Blessings, Karyn , RN Executive Director, PAI Symposium August 28 & 29, 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 > hi judith isn't it funny how when our kids who don't eat ask for some sort of food out of the blue that we run no matter where to or what time it is to get it for them. avery has always been tube feed due to his reflux, never even wanting to try anything ask me for milk the other day. i could not have gotten it fast enough. he took two drinks and was done. we were so happy. on the other hand my ii 1/2 yr old ask for ice cream at 9pm on a school night, i say are you crazy, you got to get to bed. avery ask and i on it. hahahaha lucky for me our older kids understand and laugh it off. what a great feeling huh? amy pasz- avery rss > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 No - Tim does at 8. He seemed almost ready to toatally potty train at night just before he turned 7, but then he got a tube with night feedings... He had started stooling at night with the big calorie levels that cause him to over double his weight in a year and a half (with the GH), but now that he's gone from less than the 1st % weight-to-height to somewhere between the 50% and 75%, we are cutting back and he is not stooling much. Perhaps if we can drop the bedtime feeds at some point, that will do the trick... Inga At 06:07 PM 12/31/2003 +0000, you wrote: >Hi Jodie...that's great!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hi Inga.......well we managed to free Imogen of the tube when she was 3 and a half...so she eats normally...or as normally as any RSS kid does! It could be the lack of muscle tone that some RSS kids have that does it? Or maybe she just can't be bothered to get up in the night!!! Who knows!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Thanks for that Jodie.......I don't think the huggies would make much difference cos she wees in her sleep.....I'm sure it's one of those things that gets better as she gets older.....there can;t be anything seriously wrong because she can control her bladder during the day..... At least because of her size the nappies we buy are the cheaper ones....Midi...up to 20lbs!
