Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I was wondering if I was the only one feeling nervous about SARS. With Lacey having the chronic lung problems she has, it definitely scares me. I haven't done much reading, though, so my fears are just from what I've heard in the media. I'll be asking her infectious disease doctor about it tomorrow for sure~~ Belinda Lacey's mom, (15, CdLS, immune deficiency) Pittsburg, CA <A HREF= " http://www.cdls-support.org/family/aug2001/index.html " >CdLS OSG: Featured Family of August 2001</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hi, we are scheduled to fly to Las Vegas for a gymnastics tournament this weekend. Not sure will be able to compete as he is having a difficult time with his neck. But if we do go Should I have wear a mask?

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I don't think you're too paranoid. I asked 's pediatrician today about SARS, and she said " all we can do is pray it doesn't spread everywhere " . It seems to be spread as easily as the common cold, but it is deadly. Very scary. > > Hi, we are scheduled to fly to Las Vegas for a gymnastics tournament this weekend. Not sure will be able to compete as he is having a difficult time with his neck.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Go to the tournament . Have fun. Avoid contact with anyone who has been traveling outside of the U.S., especially in Asian countries. Have fun. Avoid anyone who seems ill. Have fun. Wash hands often. Have fun. http://www.cdc.gov/od/oc/media/sars.htm This is our Center for Disease Control website. Gives exact numbers of *suspected* cases of SARS in the U.S. as reported on a state by state basis. (Nevada isn't on the list at this point) http://www.who.int/csr/don/en/ This is the World Health Organization website and it gives daily update on where SARS is. http://www.who.int/country/usa/en/ Part of same web site giving specific info about disease in the U.S.A. http://www.paho.org/ Pan American website - regional office for World Health Org. Has lots of info about various health situations in America Probably more info than you ever wanted to know. God bless, Wenoka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Dear le, Make sure you keep SARS in perspective. What I'm hearing is that more people die every year from the flu -- but SARS is quick, so it's news worthy. At 13, I'm more scared of scarring ! I'd let it be his choice. They say the biggest danger is from people who have recently traveled in the Orient. He might want to wear a mask while traveling -- if at all. I think masks are great -- but they really draw attention! Make sure that is comfortable with that. Katy corresponds with a young man with CVID by e-mail whose Mom is super cautious and takes every possible moment to protect him -- only trouble is -- he sees no reason for it -- so deliberately exposes himself to danger behind her back -- smoking, drugs, sex, etc. The transition to independence was not smooth. I, too, sheltered Katy so much that she too went through the major rebellion. It's taken her 2 years to get it through her head what is reasonable and what is not. Can this rebellion be prevented? I don't know. Just don't go overboard on protecting! You may keep him alive and lose him emotionally. That sounds very grim. But, studies have shown that the psychological impact of chronic disease is often worse than the disease itself. And I see emerging as a phenomenal young man with a good head on his shoulders. Let's keep him taking responsibility and gradually transitioning to adulthood. So my vote is that a mask would probably be wise while traveling -- but it's his body. And parents: don't let your teenagers read the above!!! In His service, Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my vote is that a mask would probably be wise while traveling -- but it's his body. Thanks Dale for your words of wisdom. I wasn't even worrying about SARS until today when the media came on about the plane in San . Then began to wonder about who would be traveling to Las Vegas. If he wore the mask it would only be while on the plane. and I have talked about it also how we don't want to be in fear mode. His thought was to bring it and if he heard someone coughing a lot then put it on. I told him that sounded good to me. He was very fearful that this episode with his neck was related to his joint issues. The pain was an 11 on a 1-10 scale last night...........I believe part of it was that he was in fear mode , not sure what was happening. This morning we took him in for accupressure and massage and he was moving his neck more today still stiff but not as much pain. I believe it was a muscle spasm. He seems to be getting better. Well thank you to everyone for responding,,,,,,,,,,,,Dale thanks again for your words. You are truly a blessing! le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 This has been on my mind too lately, although since Kody is now homebound schooled (he's not done well recently, long story) I am not quite as worried about it. But, that said, we do have a very large Asian community here in our area so we have lots of people flying in here. It is scary, and I think that it is good to be aware and keep informed on this deadly flu, but keep things in perspective. We have had cases of the SARS here in Michigan. Not where I live so I am not freaking out yet. Shit. Here I just said that and the guy on the news says " The first cases of SARS here in West Michigan up next " ...doggoneit. Anyway, I think if going someplace crowded I would bring a mask for Kody. Not that the kid would wear it, he hates them, but I'd bring it, and maybe think twice about how badly I needed to bring him with me. That isn't to say I wouldn't take him, but hey does he need to go to a movie theater right now or would a rented video make him happy? I think it is about choices. I wouldn't cancel my trip, but I would be cautious. That is all any of us can do really. Diane, Mom to Kody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 I wouldn't cancel my trip, but I would be cautious. That is all any of us Hi Diane, We are not planning on cancelling the trip due to SARS . I just wasn't to thrilled about the aiplane ride when like you said it hit the news and was local now. will be bringing a mask for the plane ride only. I have a feeling he will not be the only one. wants to wear it...........he doesnt want to catch anything on the plane that may affect his meet. We are not wearing one on a everyday basis. We are praying for Kody le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 We are due to go to New York 9th May and I noticed that together with California New York has the most suspected cases.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 I've been worried about this also with Autumn's lung problems. There are 3 suspected cases in Texas, so we're just going to be more cautious. Until last night I thought we were going to escape the change-over to spring with no asthma flare-up. I guess I was wrong. That tight cough is starting to creep back in. Let's hope it's just allergies and not the beginning of something else.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Lacey had her IVIG today, so I asked her infectious disease doctor if he was worried about SARS. He said he is worried about it, but mostly because we don't know enough about it. But right now, it seems to be only affecting those who have traveled, so he made Lacey promise she wouldn't be boarding any flights for Asia He also said that the flu kills way more people~~ Belinda Lacey's mom, (15, CdLS, immune deficiency) Pittsburg, CA <A HREF= " http://www.cdls-support.org/family/aug2001/index.html " >CdLS OSG: Featured Family of August 2001</A> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 That's probably because both states have the highest populations, so the odds are they'll have the most. California also has a very high asian population, and they are more likely to be traveling to Asia. I probably shouldn't be, but I'm very worried about this just because it's so easy to catch! > > We are due to go to New York 9th May and I noticed that together with > California New York has the most suspected cases.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 I could be way wrong, but there > needs to be some logical reason why the cases in Toronto are dying and NO > ONE in the US has died yet. On Mar 11, the WHO issued a global alert. However, the first Canadian death was Mar 5 (she was infected in late Feb) and yes, she was in the hospital. The second, her son, died on Mar 13. The cases have been limited to people exposed to SARS in that one hospital and their families. The hospital was dealing with this disease before it became headline news, without knowing the extent of the problem. The first reported suspect American case was Mar 15, according to the CDC. Given the time, they knew what they were up against and treatments were already being assessed. As well, the researchers in the US state it is only a coronavirus whereas in Canada they are finding coronavirus with metapneumovirus and in Hong Kong with paramyxovirus. This may explain its virulence in some countries. The ages of the victims were 43(the son), 57, 62, 74, 75, 76, 77, (2)78 and 82. Most had other chronic illnesses. The treatment the Canadians are using is the one outlined in the CDC protocol, antibiotics & antivirals along with oxygen if need be. They are being kept in rooms with a controlled air supply. Both the Canadian and American systems have their drawbacks. Remember that the US has the highest infant mortality rate in the industrialized world.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 My opinion is that the beck protocol should be able to handle anything that comes down the pike. I sent a few godzillas to Tiawan where they were having a problem with Sars and I will see what kind of feedback I get from that. Thet other thing that could work good for SARS is the inhalation of Colliodal Silver mist from a nebulizer or an ultrasonic humidifier. So I think we are all doing good to have these things hond or know about them for anythnig that is coming down the pike. The biggest thing Im worried about is the actions of teh government and forced vaccinations, death camps and things like that.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 A nebulizer is a small appliance that works similar to a " Air Brush " used for painting. It uses compressed air to make a liquid into a very fine mist. you can build one out of an air brush. An ultrasonic humidifier is a humidifier you can buy at Wal Mart or any drug store and it is designed to humidify the air. the way it works is it has an ultrasonic sound source submersed in water and the sound waves break up the water into a very fine mist and a little fan blows the mist out a nozzle. The mist is so fine it feel dry. What you do is put Colloidal silver in it instead of water and when the mist comes out you inhale the Colloidal silver to get it right into the lungs to kill any viruses or infection that might be in there. you can also add some MSM to the colloidal silver . They were discussing this on one of the groups a while back. V ----- Original Message ----- From: " M. Hatch " <dhatch1@...> What is a nebulizer or ultrasonic humidifier?
