Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 For shopping how about one of those baby backpacks? they are great! gail (unknown) Thanks for all the adivce. He had a mri when he was in the NICU and they said that everything looked normal. I am very excited for our appt. in a week! Now i have tons of questions to ask. Also does anyone's child have problems sitting? Adison is unable to sit up at all and this is posing a very tough problem since he is in a big boy car seat. So when i go to the grocery store i have no where to put him and it is hard to shop with a baby in your arms!I know that some stores have the built in seats but they are hard to come by and i usually have to do all my shopping alone. So if anyone has anything that they found that works i would be very grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hi, <<Also does anyone's child have problems sitting?>> Has any doc given you a reason why Adison has problems sitting up on his own? It all could very well be a developmental thing (he's just taking his own time) or it could be other things like low muscle tone, spinal cord issues, etc. You mentioned they did an MRI in the NICU, do you know if a PEDIATRIC neurosurgeon read the actual scan? If not, I would suggest asking the ortho about having another MRI done just to make sure there are still no spinal cord abnormalities. In newborns, it can be very difficult to see subtle issues.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 If everything is normal, then it sounds like he is idiopathic to me. If that is the case, then he may very well be a candidate for casting (and a good chance that he could avoid surgery). My son was 43 degrees out of the cast and is 7 degrees in the cast! Ian never had problems sitting up, but when he walked he did walk tilted over to one side due to his curve. Not sure if your son's inability to sit upright is due to his curve or not, but it is definitely something to ask about when you go to Shriners. Do you know the degree of his curve by chance?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I agree with Carmell. We had a radiologist read Ian's MRI and it was misread. We were told his spinal cord was tethered when it was not the case. The pediatric neurologist read it and even showed it to us and explained how it was definitely not tethered.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 no,but I recently had a child die from what I believe was cancer caused by SV40 and the polio vaccine she received as an infant,and cancers do not run in my family.She was 15 yrs old and was first diganosed when she was 11.She had chemo and radiation to treat her,but she had a remission of a couple of years before she started having problems again.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 my son lost the ability to speak/coo/babble (silent for 14 months) after the MMR. He has been in speech therapy for 3 years and is almost fully recovered. But the good thing about this sad event is that we stopped all shots when this happened so he only got about half the amount of thimerosal/mercury that he would have gotten and it led me to research vaccines and learn so much that I did not know before. Please visit www.nvic.org for lots of great info ---- (unknown) > Hello everyone. I am new to this group. I am a care provider, in the field for 10 years.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Etana, here is a good article on flax seed for weight loss http://barleans.com/literature/flax/61-weight-loss.html You can use the seed or the oil. I use one tablespoon of oil in the morning, and have been known to sprinkle the seeds on my vegetables. It can also be used for constipation if you have that. Flax seed is an amazing supplement and it is also useful in treatment of menopause. As far as water goes I drink it all day with the exception of my coffee and an occasional glass of green tea. Hope this helps!! Pam etana.finkler01@... wrote: Pamela and , thanks for the positive encouragement.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 , sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. It is hard to keep a positive outlook when it seems everything is going against you. Just remember we all have good and bad days. You have a place to vent. We all understand what is going on. I know how hard it is to see a loved pet dwindle away cause they are old or are really sick. I have had many dogs in my life and I miss all of them. They bring such a free sprit and unconditional love to the family. Just keep your chin up. Smile that will start to help you out. Just think we are all wanting to give you a great big hug right now.

It can be so depressing when a member of your family isn't doing well (even a beloved canine member). I remember when my dog was ailing with arthritis. I had to buy some plants to tend to so that I could nurture something that was thriving, not deteriorating. I hope you can get relief for your physical problems as well!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 -Thankyou. I need it right now. We have prepared the site for him and am waiting for the vet to come. The time has come to help him permanently with his pain. I am not doing so well. The girls are keeping busy for now too. I thought I would get online for a moment before I get back and sit with him. We have had a pretty rough month with him, nursing him day and night. I only hope my husband gets here before the vet so he is here too. I think the whole family should be here but he is caught up at work with an issue. Just to add to the turmoil, my mother was put in hospital last night too. She had chest pains. They have rules out heart trouble but they want her to stay in until they have rules out blood clots. I haven't even been to see her yet with all that has happened. Hope to see her in a few hours. She has been in great health, so I am keeping positive for her (as best as I can). Thanks for your thoughts.

Well, they did another x-ray and my right one was bone grinding into bone. I don't know how it could be much worse, but other than the pain, I don't think it makes a difference in the surgery.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi Jan, best of luck to you. I think you'll get it. It seems to me, they figure if you wait the 1 to 2 years it takes to get a hearing you must be disabled or you would've gave up and gotten a job by then. But that's just the way I see it. I researched when my wife was applying for it, and they said (about the wait) that they figure you have enough savings to live that 1 or 2 years without income.. Yeah, right.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 > > Hey Lynn, I am 50 (well will be in 2 weeks) and I waited for at least 10 years cuz dr.'s told me I was too young. I got gastric bypass surgery to lose weight and it helped little but by then my knees were so bad I had outward bowing of the knees from wear and tear. The bone and nerves were severly damaged. I had the right one replaced 09-30-05 and will have the left done 01-18-06. I wish I had pushed the dr.'s years ago to have it done so I could have avoided the severe damage but hindsight is ...... I am glad I had it done and am glad I am doing the other one soon. I really pushed myself hard to recover and in two months post am not on heavy pain meds graduaduated from Pt. and am not using any assistive devices. But then I am a type A personality and want results " yesterday " . Not everyone is the same and all I can do is offer encouragement and hope. I had insurance but not until I became disabled and went on medicaid/medicare did I have the " insurance " for the surgery. I am hoping that soon I can go back to work part time at least. I was a teacher and home health care worker and really miss it. I did find out that having the nerve block was a godsend and I would highly recommend it and from what I read so ddo m any others on this site. Good luck to you and feel free to e- mail me if you have ANY questions or concerns or just want to talk. Hugs, Contessa > In a message dated 12/13/2005 9:29:09 A.M.
