Guest guest Posted June 9, 2001 Report Share Posted June 9, 2001 Cheryl, My thoughts are with you. Hang in there, it'll work out. Please post new information as it's available about the green card issues. I hope by now your " interview " is over and that your husband is on his way to becoming a citizen. I wish you many years of happiness together. I know what you mean about looking at pictures of your parents. I lost my Daddy suddenly in Sept 1997. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him terribly! I too, can look at pictures and smile from the memories or cry because there will be no more memories being made with my Daddy. It's hard losing a parent. I didn't know if I'd make it through, but I did.... And that's what my Daddy would want me to do. You never " get over " death of a loved one. Therefore, I believe that even years later you will still cry and grieve for the loss you've been dealt. I grieve because my Daddy will never get to walk me down the isle. Many good thoughts going your way. I hope you have a much better day tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 and Cheryl, It has been 19 years since my Dad committed suicide (his Mom my grandmother did the same 3 years before that), I sometimes think that I am fine. Then fathers day, or their birthday or a holiday throws a wrench at me. I will always resent what they did, never seeing the grandchildren, but I forgive them. I miss them dearly and feel very alone at times. I had a great counselor who helped me live. I am an only child but it has made me a better person. The grief made me stronger and more determined to live healthy for my family and friends. It was a long road to here but their early deaths had purpose. I never would have believed this at that time. It also helped my relationship with my Mom, I except her flaws, and try harder to get along. I hope you have the support you need and talk about it as often as you need.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Ursula: I'm sorry about Les and his diagnosis. Is there any thought on whether this is a new PID that he's developed recently, or if it's been there for quite some time? I'm so glad Macey's infusion went well though.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Ursula, My gosh! You have a lot going on right now... I'm amazed you can keep up with all of this, still keep doing shifts in the NICU and such, and juggle various docs appts, surgeries, eye appts, and the like... I really hope you guys get a break and some good answers to work with soon! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that no one will be sick, and all the various upcoming appointments will go smoothly, so that at the very least, you'll be able to go to the beach and enjoy the time there without more junk hanging over your heads. It was great to hear that the IVIG went well, though -- you deserved something to go well! I know the idea of doing it at home was appealing, but sounds like overall, the old way was less stressful, at least for now. Bummer. I'm interested to hear what they have to say about Les' immune system -- it's fascinating that he has done well and now this is cropping up. Has he had a history of infections and such? I forget why he had his Ig's tested... did you already know about the low IgM and they were following up, or did something come up recently to prompt the look at his immune system? (Sorry if you've discussed that in detail -- I have been reading everything, but occasionally my mind is a sieve lately.... I'm sure I'll remember it once you reply - lovely, eh?). Boy, Macey really *does* take after him, doesn't she! :-) I have heard really good things about Dr. Wray -- hope the same will hold true for you guys. Keep us posted! Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been misread and it could be it's something 'normal' for our kids that the tech hadn't seen before. As for the school eval, I had gotten a similar (verbal) description about Liam last year. I took him to a developmental pediatrician and she said he's just very active. This year he started going to school for a full day instead of a half. He also gets extra therapy (private) on top of that. He's no longer considered hyperactive. I think it's because the extra energy is being channeled into extra work. Yup, we're wearing him out. Unfortunately, he's been home all week recovering from pneumonia and he's wearing me out! My mother was a 3rd grade school teacher. She was not a big believer in homework. She told parents to let their children go outside and run around when they got home from school. That way they were better able to sit and learn in her classroom. It must have worked, because lots of kids made great strides in standardized tests after a year with her. So extra physical activity is something that might help. In a couple of years Liam will tray Teeball & karate, soccer when they'll take him.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Kathy, Your mother was a very wise teacher. My Caleb who has adhd has to hold it together all day (9:oo-4:00). When he comes home the first thing we do is send him out to play. Still when it comes time for homework we have a hard time because he is just burned out. I wish more teachers felt the way your Mother did. Homework is helpful to a degree but for some children I think it has the opposite from the desired effect.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Shirley, My 10 1/2 yr, old grandson did the same thing to his mother last week and in the car too. She had to pull over to avoid having a car accident. He too hasn't been on medication in over a year and she is thinking about starting him again. He is seeing a behavior expert in autism this coming week. I can understand how you feel. It is very upsetting. Hope things get better.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Abilify is wonderful but be warned that it konks out in about 3-4 weeks a lot of times. The first day my son took it I was wondering where this well behaved child came from and then all of a sudden the old behavior came back. The doctor upped the dosage and now we're trying extra meds to help keep the abilify working. It works on it's own but my son is also bipolar so we're dealing with a combination of things. Michele B.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Shirly, My JJ is on the abilify and it has helped alot! He use to take resperdal and that helped for along time but then all I started seeing is the side effects. Right now J is on 7 and a half mgs but it is broken into a half a pill in the morning-then lunch-then about 7-8 at night the other half of a pill. He has been on it for about 4 months now.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Well, Shirley, I have experienced that a few times with Karac; he has been on just about every med. He is 12. Right now he is on .25 Zanax and .5 Clonidine, and this is the best he has done since the aggression started. Abilify didn't work for Karac, but I have read it has worked well for others. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Dear Diane,Thank you for your response. You are always in my thoughts,for the long agonizing wait to get a date,that you have endured.I'm sure you willhave a great result with Dr. Boachie.I know you have done your homework.I will be praying for you,June 7th.Will you have to wear a cast after the surgery? In the hospital, I was trying my best to sleep in it.After many sleepless nights,and total agitation-- I put on a headset and listened to my Bocelli C.D.It worked! Which proves, I'm a sucker for an Italian stallion singing me to sleep, even if I feel like I'm laying on a stone wall!Now that I'm home, I'm wearing it only in the day. Sleep like a rock at night.I asked the Dr. to give me the Harrington Rod to make a towel rack. He did just that.But then we had another idea for it. We will mount it in a shadow box .My grandson is going to be an orthopedic surgeon. So we will mark it- Nanas Harrington Rod 1980--2005. Need to think of something else to put on it. Maybe don't use these! Hope this month will go by fast for you . gardengirl, EileenDiane1B@... wrote: I was so glad to hear to hear from Eileen, our GardenGirl.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Dawn, have you had a fill just recently? If not you may want to really be watching this tightness thing. Have you been pbing alot lately? not to alarm you but if your tightness continues and is combined with bad acid relux at night you may have a slight band slip. So, just play it by ear and give it a few days to a week. some people say they get tight around their periods. and sometimes you can have something lodged and it can feel really tight. I would think if the tightness continues the first step would be to go to your local doctor who does your fills and see if he wont do a floura or some kind of x-ray. under those types of things they can see if the band has slipped. But dont get to alarmed or panic. You are going to be fine! :-) Just ride it out and see what happens. and please keep us posted on how you do, k! :-) hugs, Take care, > > i have heard on here of different tightness, different days but today i > have the most tightest day ever. i can always drink " normally " even > actually down a glass of water with no problem what so ever. > today i took a drink of water, and i was litterally so tight that i > felt it fill me up, then trickle empty. it was the weirdest feeling > ever. so needless to say all day nothing solid went down.... > does anyone else do this or is this a sign of a problem > > dawn > dob 2/3/07 > 280/234/150 > > lovin my band but somedays to just talk a big a** bite and swallow > lmao.... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I know what you mean about the tightness. It is different all the time, I wonder why that is. I can drink almost anything and soup goes down really easy so watch that..alot of calories in soup. I had 16 oz the other day no problems. I did have some flat bread with pears and some cheese on it at a restaurant as that was my ONLY choice. Everything else was too risky as I just had my fill on Saturday...1st one.
