Does anyone on this group write poems? I want to send a poem to Dr Winnega, to tell her how I feel about all she has done for us. I am not good with poems. has his MRI in the monring and then an appt with neurosurgeon. I am going alone again and she is being so supportive even though she cant be there with us, she is going to have her phone close and told me to text email her throughout the day and let her know when we are done so we can talk. I really have been looking online for a peom, but cant find one. Any ideas?

Oh Stacie...how scary. My is what I call an " Escape Artist " . We lost her

for the 1st time on her 2nd b-day...at her party! All I could see was the

intersection/road nearby. She was not a child that would just go up or engage

just anyone, but I suddenly saw her holding the hand of a stranger. Normally not

good, but she found an angel that day that brought her to find me. She has snuck

out of our house twice to go to the neighborhood park. I am just grateful it was

never more than minutes before I noticed that she was gone. My heart sank when I

read your post. I related to your panic/fear. Sleep peacefully!

Subject: Question

My husband took our daughter (5yrs) to her immuno appt.this week. The dr.

ordered many tests, but among them was a " sweat test " just to rule out cystic

fibrosis. Well, daddy forgot she had this test performed two years ago (when she

was 3). The test was ordered by our pedi., and it was negative.

My question is... is it necessary to repeat the test? I remember reading

something that said the values do not change from positive to negative or

negative to positive as time goes by (the person gets older). Does this sound

right?

Thank you!

I would take photos of everything he would want - starting with the van, put them on a board with velcro and to start with when he runs take the board with you to give him a choice of what he wants to do. I would repeat this time and time again till he gets used to the process, then I would put the board up on the exit from the building so he sees it as he escapes and then redirect him to it. I think that if you do this over and over again he may just get to the choosing stage rather than running.

Maybe a lock on the front door to delay things would be good too.

Question

I just joined the group a few days ago and was wanting to introduce myself. My name is and I work with a 28 yr old guy who is autistic. He is non-verbal and is very limited on his sign language. His only behavior is taking flight. I was wondering if anyone else deals with this type of situation. I tried skimming thru the archives and haven't ran across this. A lot of times he just runs down the steps from his room right out the front door. Then he starts running down the street and stops and waits for me or another staff to come get him. A few weeks ago we tried just calling to him to come back home. He eventually comes home on his own now, which is a good thing. Today he ran out and I ran out after him and asked him to come back. He stopped at the edge of the street and I asked him what he wanted. He signed ride. I told him not to run that if he wants something all he has to do is ask. So I loaded him up in the van and took him for a ride. He was happy the rest of the day. Any suggestions on what to do to try to keep him from taking flight. I will be doing 1-1 with him 3 times a week for 6 hrs a day. I'm just afraid that he will run from me when we are out doing things. He is so used to being in his room by himself. He has a routine he does everyday and I don't know what to expect because things are going to change for him. Any help will be much appreciated.

We ordered ours from the TEA website last week and it came in the mail within 3 days. Two children 3 copies for each child. I couldn't believe they were that fast. Good luck!!KimTo: Texas-Autism-Advocacy Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 4:55:55 PMSubject: question

Hi, does anyone know what you can do if you have filed an

exemption for vaccines from the State of Texas Health Department, but the form

has not been sent back yet in time to start school.. ?? is there

anyway to track if it has been sent?? This a different way that has

been done before.. you used to be able to print the form yourself and take to

the school and apparently they have made it harder to get.. can you

still take a medical exemption from your Dr.?? or does the form

still have to come from the state also.?? Please respond as soon as possible..

They're usually fast in sending the forms, which need to be notorized.

You can also get a medical waiver from your doctor. My son's school nurse gave

me some attitude when I presented it but I held my ground and reminded her it

was my right. I'm sure she would have better understood if she had a child with

autism.

All we ever had was a medical exemption since our son started school.

The school would then make us get it renewed every year. But since

the damage done to our son is lifetime, about two years ago the Dr.

rewrote the letter stating that Ethan had sustained a lifetime

disability due to vaccines and that to re-vaccinate could cause

serious harm. In it, he specifically stated that our son has a

lifetime exemption to vaccination. We never had to get anything from

the " state. " We have never been bugged by the school since the doctor

added the lifetime exemption.

Personally speaking, no one should have to --vaccination should be a

matter of conscience and choice, but unfortunately I suppose not

enough children have been killed or damaged to make them see the big

picture. Maybe when the rates are 100:100 suffer neurological damage

--maybe then, but if they can still make money on it then they will

still force the issue.

I called my school nurse and explained that I had requested the forms and they had not arrived....and did she want me to bring her a letter from me stating that I will be submitting exemption forms soon or would she rather I keep my son out of school until I receive them. She was very nice and let me bring in a letter today explaining that I would be submitting the official forms once they arrive.

The Infectious Disease doctors see frequently and should be able to

diagnose it sooner than your normal ped who will say that your child just has

the normal cold or it's nothing to be concerned about. The ID is the way to go.

We have also seen the Urologist but that proved to be unnecessary.

Hope you find this site helpful. Many of us have!

Hi

It is still unsure whether is an infectious disease or an

auto-inflammatory disease. So some parents (esp in the US) go to infectious

disease Drs and others go to paediatric rheumatologists (that's the route we

went here in South Africa) as a lot of periodic fever syndromes fall under the

umbrella of rheumatology. Our daughter for example had joint pain with her

fevers but no mouth ulcers, throat involvement or other typical symptoms for

. She tested negative for juvenile rheumatism and HIDS and the T & A in March

2008 has so far eliminated all fevers (even when she gets sick with other

viruses she never runs temperatures anymore). Her tonsils were huge and 'rotten'

(that's how the ENT described them) even though she never had throat problems

during episodes or strep throat. Personally I believe that the tonsils are the

root of but this is only my own opinion. Even the doctors don't know why

T & A cures such a high percentage of kids

(not all of them, and for some the fevers comes back years down the line, there

isn't much long-term research). For us having Emma's tonsils and adenoids

removed was the best thing we ever did for her, even if the fevers return

tomorrow.

Hope this helps

Just curious, are the scobys on top or bottom? Because sometimes when

I buy GTs Kombucha, it had thin scobys floating in the bottom of the

bottles. I often wonder if I bought 2 bottles, poured them in a jar

and let it ferment a week or so, would I get a healthy scoby on top?

Hi Philip,

A new scoby will always grow across the top of the liquid, but once

disturbed, it often moves to the bottom or somewhere/anywhere in the

brewing vessel. Anywhere is O.K. - it's got the freedom of the jar! ;-)

So, if you can resist disturbing the brew, if there is no wobbling of

the jar, and the scoby remains undisturbed, it will thicken until

disturbed.

BTW, a scoby is not the be all and end all of Kombucha. Culture is both

scoby and liquid, as these all contain the Kombucha yeasts and bacteria.

It is the bacteria that build the fibrous scoby structure.
