Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Tim, I am assuming you are spelling phonetically at the moment? Cyanosed, is a sign of hypoxia or lack of oxygen. Bits of the body start to lack the usual red colour and turn blue. At the fingers and toes, this may ne mistaken for cold, but the further it moves towards the centre, the worse it gets. Blue lips are not a good thing and means this patients is severely lacking oxygen. Potassium levels?

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2002 Report Share Posted May 24, 2002 I only know what is " acceptable " here in our district. When started in preschool (age 3, about 30 pounds, floppy muscle tone), they told me that the law did not require them to have car seats on a school bus (even though under CA law, she needs to be in a seat until she's 6 or 60 pounds). I rode the bus with her the first day without a car seat, and she was terrified..... she couldn't hold herself up securely on the slippery vinyl seats, and I was livid. I made sure there was a seat every day, and if the driver didn't have one, I would make them wait and get hers out of the car. They didn't like me too much, and eventually " remembered " to have a car seat for every day. Now, a year and a half later (age 4, over 40 pounds, much stronger), she sits in the seat wearing a regular lap seat belt. She is comfortable, and buckles herself in happily. In the beginning, I asked for a " buckle guard " which prevents them from unbuckling, but she's been going without it for several months now and hasn't taken the seatbelt off while the bus is going. I would still rather have her in a booster seat, but transportation will not do that because the law doesn't require it (the law here doesn't even require seatbelts on school busses..... that's a benefit for the small special ed busses I guess we should be thankful for!) We don't have a bus matron either..... I don't know what the driver does if a child gets up..... I think I'll ask the driver today. > Hi everyone!

Is his bus air conditioned? Do you follow the bus or meet it at the school? I'm nervous about putting Kris on the bus. she is a tiny little thing with a huge mouth.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Debbie, We had a LOT of trouble with the transporter when Heidi went to pre-school. They wanted to place her in a very unsafe position (side-facing) and use a broken down car seat. We called the company and Heidi's PT at school called the company, NO change. Then, I called the newspaper. In 2 days, there on page one of the local section was a picture of a sweet little girl getting off her bus with an article about the unsafe transportation of preschool children with disabilities. They interviewed the PT, me, the transport people, and other mothers whose children had been endangered or actually injured on the buses. The thing that really ticked me off was the secretary at the bus company told me on the phone that the new car seats were sitting there in the office!! Our county executive had a fit and the problem was fixed by the following Monday. Make some noise! You are your child's best advocate!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2002 Report Share Posted June 20, 2002 Isn't it amazing the things you find out about after the fact when your kids are grown. I know that my girls 26 and 24 tell me things that happened when they were kids that I absolutely had know idea of. We usually end up having a good laugh over whatever it was, especially considering that I was aways on top of them. Like the time they and two neighborhood friends spent the entire summer in their early teens picking their Dad's ripe tomatoes and eating them on the back patio after getting out of the pool at night. Poor dad thought he was losing his mind. He knew he had so many tomatoes and they were dissappearing two at a time. He thought we had a rabbit eating them. The girls and their friends had a good laugh the whole summer and would swipe a couple as they ripened. They just told us about this a couple of years ago and we all had a side-splitting laugh fest. A small price to pay for knowing where your kids are and getting a laugh out of it years later to boot. Lore (no subject) With the talk about teasing and abuse of our kids in schools, I also read an article today explaining to parents about signs of abuse and teasing to watch for. This led to a discussion with . I asked him if he had ever been teased in school and he said yes, but just like all the kids were. Not the kind of things that upset him. Then he mentioned the high school kids. I had not heard about this before. Evidently older kids from another school went past on the street and called out things to them. His school was private and only a few had disabilities, so I doubt if they were hollering " retard " or anything like that at them. He said it didn't hurt his feelings but that was what he thought of when he thought of teasing. There was one boy who also had some problems, I think just behavioral, he would push the other kids when they were getting into cars to come home, etc. The teacher asked me one day if ever complained about this boy,Tim, and he hadn't . Evidently this other boy, , had complained to his mother. So the teacher explained to me that Tim would try to get and in trouble by telling them to do things they shouldn't. Well, would do whatever Tim said and then get in trouble, but she said wouldn't do it unless it was something not bad. He had better sense. Sometimes Tim would tell him to kiss a certain girl and R. would do that because he liked it and so did the girls. But then one time a younger boy with DS knocked 's glasses off so the frames br oke and the lens slid across the floor. It was Tim who retrieved it, wrapped it in Kleenex and gave it back. So you never know. Anyway we had an interesting discussion today. Jessie, Mom to , 37 and the light of my life. Click reply to all for messages to go to the list.

We're on our FOURTH set (we usually get a temp set every winter when cold season hits) and it makes a huge difference in the number of sinus infections she gets thru the cold & allergy season. Even with the T & A (at age 4) ... a couple of years later she had a CAT scan and we found 2 sets of sinuses were chronically infected. With prolonged chronic infections, the sufferer often becomes asymptomatic and the passages totally impacted with infection. Not nice. I could ramble on and on (!) about sinus infections. They are poorly understood by lots of doctors. Getting the T & A out of there for sufferers is a must because they harbor germs, making them impervious to antibiotics. - Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 I think some of the cultural mores have forced parents to give up some kinds of control (ie, anything that even looks physical). The kids do know this--they get lessons at school about reporting abuse. Sadly, neither the culture nor the schools spend a lot of time and effort effectively giving parents other tools to use in civilizing their children and support in using them, then blame the parents only for bad behavior. Personally, I have really appreciated times in stores or other public places where one or another kid has acted up and either been spoken to directly by another adult about behavior or had another adult back me up when they heard me speak to the child. Stranger danger acknowledged, but that kind of " village " support is exactly what many parents need and don't often get anymore.
