Yea, I was talking about your new one coming... Me I like the Big dogs )

Have fun with your new Puppy (Old one too )

Hugs

Helen

you mean the new one? she will be under 10 pounds when she's fully grown so now at 12 weeks she would be tiny. the other poodle i used to have had to go to a new home with people more experienced than me because he had some bad behaviour problems and aggressive which i wasn't making progress with him on.CZ

Hi CZ,

Right now we have a Blue Tick Hound... She's up in years, so I don't look forward to her final days... But I will get another dog, but only one at a time now... I have had dogs my whole married life and I will always have one as long as I can... They are a great comfort to me... Good luck with two of them )

((( Animal Hugs )))

i like big dogs too but i could never look after one. i'm not well enough to give it exercise that it needs and the costs of looking after them are a lot more with eating more and transport to vets or whatever with me not driving. i love playing with other peoples big dogs though.CZ

Hi, I am not sure if I completely read all of this subject, sorry in

advance if that is the case, but what I was thinking is that if he

is very tiny, could he use a regular cheap baby walker on the

highest setting? I say cheap because I was thinking that this way

the plastic would be the lightest. that way he could practice

walking and have some mobility but not hurt himself. It would of

course be very dangerous near stairs, since he could get very fast.

we gaited off all of the stairs here. it would be great for a ranch

house. the exersaucer was the only way my dd could go number 2 for

a while. Anyway, just thought I would throw that idea out there.

Ok.. we are in the 4th week of school. Logan (age 7) is in the self contained

classroom. You would THINK they would know what to watch for and how to keep

the kids safe.

I got a call at 9 am today saying that Logan had gotten into a bottle of

cleaning liquid and was squirting it into his mouth.

UGH!!!!!

We can not be TOO Vigilant!!!

, my daughter Nora has been going to Greenville since Oct. of 2008. Her curve was over 70* before casting, it is now 40*(out of cast) and under 15* (in cast.) Dr. P is awesome and so is the staff! As far as the anesthesia is concerned, Nora hasn't had any issues except for a little nausea. At first she took the Versed before going back to the OR but she got to where it would make her sick so I let them give her a shot before going back. The shot made her sort of out of it longer than the Versed. Now I walk her back myself and hold her down while Dr. T puts her out with the gas, which I know would be hard for some parents but she's back to her usual self faster this way! She's been under anesthesia 8 times plus the MRI and I haven't noticed any effects from it. I just wanted to let you know that there is someone else in NC that goes to SC. I hope the very best for your little boy and want you to know you're in

good hands at Greenville! BTW if you don't mind me asking, where are you at in NC? You can email me privately or call me if you have any questions at jamienoramom@... or 336-736-8565 and I'm also on facebook! Keep us posted.

Hey everyone =)

My name is and I have a 9 month old son Logan with infantile scoliosis. His curve as of feb 2 was 45 degrees. We have finally been able to get his MRI which detected a syrinx (small) and we go to the pediatric neurosurgeon on Tuesday to see what needs to be done. If we clear him...then we are set to go to the shrinners hospital down in SC. NC does not have the casting treatment... so we will travel to get him help. I would LOVE to be able to ask questions to the group and to you mom and dads having gone through this. Everytime I ask any questions here about casting ---they have no idea what Im talking about. Its frustrating. Im worried about my 9 month old and several episodes of general anesthesia. Im also worried because logan is rotated as well and has a rib hump. He also has torticollis and has been in a helmet to 3 months. I hoping that comes off right at the time when he is suppose to be casted....if they cast him. We are suppose to go

to SC on april 2. So Im hoping to know more by that time. Does anyones lil boy or girl have a syrinx as well? is that something that has to be surgically corrected or do they resolve over time? ughhh soo many questions... .

Please respond back...I would LOVE to talk to some mama's and daddy's doing this.
