Hi, Sharon,

Welcome to you and Kearsten, pretty name. My son Charlie 5 1/2 has always

slept fairly well. But a sleep study showed moderate obstructive sleep

apnea. And neck x-rays to rule out subglottic stenosis did that but also

showed huge adenoids to go along with his huge tonsils. So he's scheduled

for a T & A at CHOP--sorry if that's too much alphabet soup, that's a

tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Anyway, you might want to read Dr. Leshin's essay on obstructive sleep

apnea. Here's a link, http://www.ds-health.com/apnea.htm

Regards,

Bob, Charlie's dad

Welcome to the list from another Sharon! I have a 13 year old daughter with DS,

, and , 9.

had her tonsils out when she was 20 months old. She also has a small

airway, and because of a fistula she had when she was born that was corrected

surgically, anyone the intubates her has to be careful about how far the tube is

advanced. We had the anesthesiologist that put to sleep for her

tonsillectomy call the pediatric surgeon that repaired her fistula to get all of

the pertinent information. did very well.

It does sound like her sleeping problems might be associated with the sinuses,

tubes etc. I would definitely get a second opinion.

We are glad you are here, you will finds lots of great people, and great info.

Hi! Im a new member to this group. My name is Sharon Higgins and I

have a 3 year old daughter with Down Syndrome. Her name is Kearsten.

I was hoping someone good give me some advice or just hear your

stories about a couple of issues that I am having with Kearsten.

The first thing is she sleeps terribly. Every night she has to come

to our room to sleep with us. I take her back to her bed but she

always returns. Kearsten does not talk yet so it is hard to

communicate with her with these issues. Her other issue is that she

is on her 3rd set of tubes in her ears. She is always very congested

and can hardly breathe. I think this might relate to her sleep

disorder. She just had a cat scan on her sinuses and we are looking

at getting her a second opionion by another ENT Doctor. She is at

High risk for surgery because she has really small airways. They want

to take her adnoids out. This is all very scary to me.

I would appreciate any help if anyone has some.

Thank you

One of my biggest questions is...............Are there any state or federal laws

about vaccinating? Can a school deny your child because they aren't vaccinated?

Do I need to get a religious exemption, and if so, how?

Hi ne and welcome. Congrats on making the best decision for

your little one. You are correct in the assumption of the damage

vaccines do to the body :-(

You will find there are many knowledgeable people on this list that

will be able to guide you in your decision.

I do not know of any physicians in that area but maybe someone else

on the list does.

My husband is not whole heartedly with me on the non-vaccine issues

but he has seen the damage it did to our son. He is sort of sitting

on the fence I guess you could say.

Yes, get all the documents together that you can. There are so many

studies out there now about vaccine damage.

Just Google search vaccine damage or vaccine dangers and you will be

shocked at how much is out there.

Congrats on the little one on the way as well :-)

Tennessee (30 miles south of Nashville). I am 22 years old. Just got

married in December and am expecting a baby girl July 4th. I first

became interested in homeopathy and not vaccinating, a couple years

ago, with my dogs (great danes). I took/take it very seriously. My

great dane that I have now, is unvaccinated and eats a completly raw

food diet. Well, now that I am pregnant, these instincts have kicked

in again and it leads me to questions about vaccinating my precious

baby. I've heard of and seen the damage it does to our animals. I

can only imagine what it does to US. Of course, everyone around me

thinks i'm crazy, that I'm considering not vaccinating my

baby....one of them being my husband. So I figured I would go out

and try to gather as much information as possible, to back up my

reasonings. I am also in search of a alternative/homeopathic

doctor/pediatrician, in the area, so that I have professional advice

as well. I

Hi Danah and welcome to our LL sisterhood...YAYA! I think Bonnie gave you a

great explanation on holding your breaths. It does become easier, but there

are times for me anyway, that I can't hold for very long. Then times when I

have no problem. I'm a big believer in the visual healing with the breaths

too. Hope you keep posting, we love new people to join in and learn from

each other!!

Blessings,

Kiki

[Guest guest]

Hi Danah, Welcome! Welcome! I think if you hold your breath to what is

comfortable for you, you have it right. The main thing is to do it and do it

often! You won't be sorry, you will feel so great and have wonderful energy.

Just

know that you have done something great for yourself, a true gift to you. :-)

Have fun and WELCOME!!! Connie :-)

[Guest guest]

Danah,

I hold my breath for as long as is comfortable -- and I've noticed that the

duration has increased with time. At first, it was hard for me to complete an

exercise, now it's relatively simple.

I also have noticed that my breathing in general has improved -- I breathe more

correctly even when not doing the LL breathing -- deeper breaths, less shallow

breaths -- this has got to be a good thing! And I no longer get " winded " when

climbing stairs, and I can actually jog a bit.....

Rashelle has (somewhere, the first video?) some suggestions for getting

increased oxygen to various joints -- I remember a seated exercise that is

particularly good on your knee joints -- someone else will need to direct you to

this..... I think she has you visualize just where you want the oxygen to go, I

use this if I feel a headache starting, I just take a couple of LL breaths and

" think " the healing power to go to my head -- works every time!

Good luck!

Bonnie

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this group and I have a question about the lifelift

breathing. How long do you hold your breath while doing a stretch for

maximum fat burning? I have the basic tape only and it doesn't say how

long to hold the breath. I hold my breath for between 7-14 seconds

depending on the exercise, because that's all I can do. Is this enough

time or should I try to hold it longer or less? I need to lose about

60-70 pounds and I have severe arthritis and tendonitis in my joints

so I'm hoping this breathing exercise can help!

Thanks!

Danah

P.S. Enjoyed reading all of your inspirational posts!!!

What can changing the way you breathe do for you? Everything!

See why tens of thousands agree, Life Lift is the best! http://www.oxygenzoo.com

[Guest guest]

Jenni, you're so right, that when it gets quiet here we miss each other.

Kinda why I think we all do the 'tests', just to make sure we're still

connected and not missing anything! I would have been very upset and worried

yesterday when I found LL wasn't listed as one of my groups, 'cept that I had

been

getting messages.

Love you,

Kiki

Welcome JSPRINGERHOU! The thumping will be adjusted out. Your unit can be set to not feel the pacing. That happened to me as well when my unit was implanted - the Docs couldn't believe I could feel it - but they duplicated it and that is what I was feeling, so they adjusted the pacing. I have had mine almost 6 years now - ready for the second replacement.

The days get better and there will be days in your future that you will not even think of the ICD!

Stay posted, you will find lots of friends and zapper family here and all your questions will be answered.

I had my ICD implant on 4/1/2005 (April Fool's Day)and I am still getting used to the idea of an object in my chest. The incision is still a little touchy and the thumping in my chest is a little aggravating.I have to go back to the Dr to have the device adjusted.If I consider the alternative...it ain't too bad.Please visit the Zapper homepage athttp://www.ZapLife.org

Thanks for the info.

My next venture to the hospital is this Friday and a good old

fashioned roto rooter job.

Two surgeries in one month. What did I do to deserve this :<) I

guess it is one way to forget about the ICD.

Welcome ,

I've been on this group for years but only just came out public a couple a

days ago. I mostly lurk but want to change that. I have a 5 year old

daughter that has never been vax'd. I also stress from time to time, which

is why I'm here. LOL In our case also my daughter has always been the

healthy one and rarely even has a cold, even when everyone else in the house

is sick she will not catch it.
