Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Thanks . No, Kody doesn't have a bleeding problem, I guess I should say that we are aware of. And I KNOW he isn't picking his nose....we are talking about a kid that won't even blow his nose without a big hassle because he thinks it is absolutely disgusting! He won't even use the same tissue twice even if only a drop got on it. Drives me crazy. It was quite shocking to see him when he got up this morning. Weird that your daughter had the icky potties with the bloody nose. I am really getting concerned because he says he can't feel when he has to go. That he has no idea he has to go potty. Not like him at all. He is very frustrated by it, and very embarrassed. He was very worried Daddy would be mad at him. ( Which is so totally not even a possibility. Daddy is worried but not mad!!!!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Diane~ Gosh! Your post sure reminded me of what my daughter went through for a good 4 years. Does Kody have any blood disorders or bleeding problems? My daughter would wake up almost every morning for weeks at a time with the same exact blooding face, pillow and nose. She was finally diagnosed with chronic ITP (low platelets) and when her sinuses acted up the bleeded from her having ITP became 10 times as bad. She's also severely anemic. Doctors didn't believe us at first when we told them the amount of blood and we even started taking the pillow case into them. They tried to tell us at first that she was just picking her nose. As you know, that's WAY too much blood to have just been from nose picking. Then again, all this was before they has diagnosed her with ANYTHING and thought she was just *rare*. She also had the icky sticky potty problem as well. We were referred to the GI docs and they did an Endoscopy and found nothing. They could never give us a reason for the potty problems. They took samples and everything and nothing came of it. Oddly enough, she suffered with the icky potty problem ALWAYS at the same time her bleeding was worse. I wish I had more info to give you but I just wanted you to know that after being put on steroids daily, iron and IVIG the bleeding and icky potty has all been long gone ~ about a year or so now. Hope your little guy feels better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Diane: I have no personal experience with what you're describing but it does sound like diarrhea that maybe squirts out (sorry!) when he strains or coughs or something like that. That would account for him not " feeling " it. Maybe a light version of a stomach virus? Are you having the bleeding checked? I had a couple friends as a child who had copious nosebleeds and it was something like some weak vessels in their nasal passages and if it happened too much they had to have it cauterized? THat was a longggg time ago though, who knows if my info is accurate. Hope he's better soon...

Doc said to put vaseline on a q-tip and rub the inside of his nose with it. And if it keeps up they will cauterize it. Doc said good ol vaseline usually does the trick though. I hope he is better soon too. He is very very embarassed about it.

Kody's doctor said it isn't emotional either (usually done for attention). We are doing the laxitive route, which has me a little worried.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Re: Re: Groan Diane: I thought I would jump in on this one as my good friends daughter had a bought of this " sticky " potty. It was a very trying time as she described it exactly as you did. I know the doctor put her on Metamucil several times a day but I really can't remember if this helped. I have placed a call to her because I know this was a huge issue for her and I know she got it resolved eventually. She said exactly what you did regarding the not knowing when it would happen and the consistency. For the longest time they thought it was emotional , but I do remember they ruled that possibility OUT! I remember her telling me it took awhile to get to the bottom of it. When she calls me back I will relay what she has to say. Sharon Mom to 11 20 This forum is open to parents and caregivers of children diagnosed with a Primary Immune Deficiency.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Di, Our son, Bryson, has just turned 12. I'm not ready for hormones and teenager-dom either. He's our oldest so it's all new to us. It's a small comfort but I tell myself that it's " developmentally appropriate " for him to push for independence. What I'm really not ready for is to share him with...another woman! As he blew out his candles, his birthday wish was that " na will love me " . {sigh} Right now I'm just trying to be grateful that she likes him back! > > Nic has officially entered into puberty............ugh! > I am NOT ready!!!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I spent some time working in a group home and there was a man there that we couldn't keep pants on. But we did try and direct him to his bedroom for alone time. For my sister - its like says 'hands' and she'll stop - for the moment. I try to give her time alone in the bedroom before sleep. My brother doesn't really seeem to notice. Even though he's gone through puberty, he just doesn't seem to care. But like I've mentioned before there is a cognitive difference between my siblings. Neither really understand 'privacy' - shirts come off, pants come off at will. We reinforce " no, you need to stay dressed now " or various other comments. But its just a struggle. Repetition, consistency and positive rewards for good behavior. Personally, I try really hard not to say it or any part of their 'body' is bad or sex is bad because even with the developmental delay, our DS adults are still adults. Its challenging of course. Where to draw the line. My siblings are young mentally. I can't imagine those that are dealing with their 'kids' dating!!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm wondering if they can explain sexuality to a child with DS in a way that is able to be understood. Also if the books will explain to me how a person with DS might handle/process puberty. Things like: Do they have a stronger sexual urge than someone else? Is there a stronger pull to Sex because they have DS? Some information is for legal purposes but basically I need to find out if a child with DS process sexuality/puberty differently than a child without DS. From: GundulaME@...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I catch with her fingers in her panties still. I ask her what she's doing and she stops and says " nothing " . I don't fuss at her because I don't want to make her feel bad about herself, but I do tell her she needs to wash her hands first...which totally throws her because she is not about to get up and go wash her hands.  It used to be bad enough she would get a yeast infection. I put in her IEP when she was 5 to start talking about " private parts " so she would get the learning reinforcement at school. We have been talking about private parts and what they are for, and hopefully it is sinking in.  Lately, I have been putting on little white undershirts underneath her tank tops because her torso is short and her boobs (or lack there off) were showing. She had a habit of fooling around with her shirt, sometimes lifting it up too high and we had the " boobie talk " . I am pretty sure she understood (we talk about it usually once a week) because yesterday I had on a tank top that had a little cleavage, and she said...mom, we can see your boobies! No one is supposed to see your boobies, do you need a white shirt like me? This was at the store...gotta love her!! Both of my boys (11 and 13) are in puberty.  A year ago I went online and read as much as I could about boys, since I'm not one and their dad flat out told me he wouldn't talk to them about it. I have told them exactly what you all have...it's private and should be don in the bathroom or in your room with the door shut...they are plain old boys, no delays...but I was glad I did the research!
