,

We've passed around viruses this week, too. I've started up vitamins B and C

and garlic to boost our immune systems - I'm pretty tired of being sick! One

thing that also seems to be helping is the marshmallow root - I started it for

its diuretic properties for my ear since regular diuretics may lower my already

very low blood pressure too much, but it also is an expectorant which might be

what's helping me to finally get some of this phlegm out of our systems.

Doctors don't always mention the expectorants, but if you aren't taking one

already, maybe you could ask them about it (not necessarily an herbal one!)...

When we used to feed Tim via medicine dropper, once I got a pinched nerve going

up my arm and into the center of my back - I could barely move! I finally

dared going to a chiropractor, which helped awhile but tended to need repeat

treatments a lot. My friend said she had a similar experience until she got

some physical therapy through Kaiser. The exercises they give you help you be

able to maintain the good effect. I tried it, and it helped so much. Mine

also did gentle chiropractic adjustments. They even helped me find how to

better position things to avoid further problems. Do you think this might be

an option for you?

Hey Jodie

How are you feeling today? The day after is always

bad. I know how you feel, I had a boney impacted

wisdom tooth pulled while I was awake. That was the

second time I had a wisdom tooth pulled while I was

awake. The first time some old old old man pulled my

impacted wisdom tooth and he told me to close my mouth

a little so I did. What did he say next? Now you

just pushed it back in. I was like 18 okay and I'm

getting blamed. The thing that I learned from the

first time is to take the pain killer they give you

BEFORE the novicaine wears off so it's no so bad.

The first time my neighbor across the street heard me

yelling because the novicaine wore off and I had no

meds in me. LOL

As far as my toe, my low back also hurts, especially

more often after going to the doctor. He obviously

pushed on something. Years ago when I had car

accident I had an MRI of my low back and it showed a

small low back herniation.

As far as August goes - my Saturdays are now open

since dance is over. Sundays are tough because we

spend most of the day at my in-laws. It sounds like

a good time to me!!!

Feel better yourself!!!!

Awww. It sounds like it has been a rough few days for you. I hope

Kelli doesn't get too sick and I hope 's ear infection goes

away quickly. Also, I hope you can figure out how to get your toe

numbness to go away.

Take care and hope all is healthy soon,

Jodi R.

,

I have not been on much, but I just read your e-mail and hope everyone is

feeling better. We are going away on Tuesday for 10 days and then a few

days home and then the conference so I won't be on much. I just wanted to

send a quick hello. By the way, I have not mentioned this on the listserve

yet, but after Jonah got out of the hospital I brought him for a weight

check and he gained almost another 3 pounds in about 3 months. He is now

finally over 20lbs!!! Yeah! Let's pray it continues. Talk to you later.

, I am so happy for Jonah!!!! That is wonderful news. Three pounds WOW.

I'm glad he is feeling better as well.

Do you have a good view of seeing any of the fireworks in the city? Actually

where I live if I go up the hill more I can see the Macy's fireworks. Not great

and no noise so it's really not worth it. I'm not too sure where you exactly

live .

Hey Judith if you're out there today too, I hope you get a view but aren't you

north of the GWB?

When is Dr. H seeing Jonah next, at the convention? She is going to be so happy

with his weight gain. We are going in August for the clonidine blood test and

then I suppose we will then make an appointment not to sure. She just said we

will do the test never said to reschedule. I better make a note to myself to

call Yadira.

Give Jonah a big kiss and a hug from me.
