Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I was thinking those of us who went to convention could reply to this message and just list 3-4 things that we learned at convention. That way if someone missed a talk or have a specific question, we can help out that way. Please remember to put all your " info " at the end so we can keep track. I'll start..... 1. Dr. Harbison and Dr. Spigland talked about GI issues. I was surprised that even kids that have the triple procedure (fundo, g- tube, and pyleroplasty) still showed delayed gastric emptying. There must be something inherently " messed " up with their systems as the surgeries, while helpful, don't just solve the problems. 2. I learned that my son probably has reactive hypoglycemia. He doesn't drop enough to spill ketones, but enough to cause the mental symptoms of hypoglycemia. 3. The entire ADD discussion was phenomenal. I know he was joking when he said that pets can diagnose ADD, but Matt has always been too active and " in your face " for animals to put up with. 4. If you are going to convention try to bring a spouse or someone to help. I went alone and missed out on a lot of the social stuff as it was just me and the kids. Beth H Mom to Matt, SGA, gastric reflux, delayed gastric emptying, ADD Periactin, Growth Hormone, Prilosec, Zantac (soon to start again),Prepulsid (soon to be off the market), Ritalin LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
