Blood Gasses.... Partial Pressure of gasses ( Oxygen and carbon Dioxide) in

Blood, not to be confused with SaO2 ( saturation of hemoglobin with Oxygen

).

Amylase ... Blood Amylase levels Normally 25 - 125 ul IF raised could be

pancreatic damage or infection Typically pancreatitis.

HB - Hemoglobin i.e. the compound in blood cells which carry oxygen. Normal

levels Men 13 - 18 G \100ml women 12 - 16

I & R ??? Could be INR ( International Normalized Ratio) A means by which

blood clotting is determined against a normal ( of one) typically required

in patients taking Warfarin. Following mitral valve replacement a patient

taking warfarin would be aiming for an INR of 2.5 - 3 ( one being normal).

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? I would have to dig out a text book for that one sorry and

am now on the other side of the Boardman mansion for that, ie the floor that

contains the cheap scrumpy and cigars

ATB,

Ross

Potassium = 3.6~4.6 mmol.

Cyanosis = blue tinge to the tissues, i.e. blue lips associate with lack of

oxygen / circulation.

In NYS there needs to be a matron on the bus, who makes sure all the kids are

[Guest guest]

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 Kathy,

About how long does it take Liam to get to school?. will

start in July aslong as all her paper work is together. 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.

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!

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.

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.

I hope he gets the tupbes! 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.

Part of the trouble these days is we are not supposed to spank, and

the kids know that. And as you say, the parents have given up control. It

was easier to ignore his behavior. Over the years I have seen one or two

kids with DS acting up in a store, one I think was hyper too, but usually

they are very well behaved. Including mine. Jessie

[Guest guest]

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.
