Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Hi ! We welcome you and your family to our group. I have a 6 year old who is MDS. He is in kindergarten. We live in Fort Worth, Texas. He takes swimming lessons every year, but he still has to be carefully watched in the pool. We have a big pool in our back yard. He loves to swim, but his favorite sport is basketball. He has a big brother named Corey who is 11. Where is your party going to be? It is still too cold to swim, atleast for these Texans. Have a great party! Sandy Partridge, mom to ,MDS, age 6, and Corey age 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Dear , I am Barb Martz from Western Pennsylvania, USA. My husband Bob and I have a son Jonas who is 1 1/2 years old and has MDS with 30% effected cells. We are not at the education junction you are at with Ariel yet, but we have another son, , who is very gifted and we have to do the IEP's for him each year and it is the greatest stress of my life. He reads at a 7th grade or above level now, and he is only in the first grade and just turned 7 very recently. I think everyone in this group has felt lost and caught in the middle with our children at one time or another. I think you are in the perfect place with this wonderful and caring group of folks! I welcome you with great joy and look forward to hearing more about you and Ariel! We have had so many new members lately that it is remarkable! Everyone here is ready to help you in all ways possible. Have you checked out the new photo site the Phipps family has created for our children? It is wonderful! You can find it by going to www.photoisland.com . You have to use the login name of vktphipps and the password mds. You will find photos of so many of the children of the folks in this group and a family site has recently been added for other photos of our kids with siblings and their families. It is worth taking a peek at. Once you get into the site you have to click on the kids first icon on the left to get the pictures to come up. I am going to check out Ariel's story tonight. Jonas' story is there too under the surname Martz. He came into this world under a very unusual set of circumstances and we just see him as an incredible miracle! Tonight I met a friend in the grocery store who has a child who was born the day after Jonas was who has full Down's Syndrome. She was marveling at how well Jonas was doing. He stood on his own for her, and she got tears in her eyes. I asked her how was doing and she said they are still trying to get him to crawl, but because he has learned to roll and twist himself to get to anything he wants, he is not motivated to try to crawl yet. I felt like she was happy for me and for Jonas, but rather overwhelmed by all she is dealing with. has many health problems that she is dealing with also. I felt the gap there that you were talking about. I want to encourage her so much, but I don't want to make too big of a deal over what Jonas can do because I feel like it makes her sad. Well, here, I am free to brag about Jonas' every accomplishment and I can be me. You will feel that too! Once again, WELCOME to you and to Ariel! Oh by the way, if you wish to post Ariel's photo on the site I mentioned, just E-mail a Phipps at xkristinax@... and she will let you know how to get a photo to her. Many Blessings to You Both, Barb Martz Mom to Jonas 18 mo (MDS) & 7 New member Hi my name is Hyers and my daughter Ariel has MDS. (See MDSwebsite for full story) Ariel is now 8 years old and doing fairlywell in school. I was wondering if any parents felt kind of lost andin the middle some times with their children. We used to socializewith some full DS families and as the years went by I felt theywerent as accepting of us because Ariel was doing so well and didnthave full DS. My friends with children dont understand all myconcerns. They are worried their child wont make honor roll and I'mworried that they wont have approproate placement for her thefollowing year. Hence my feeling in the middle.I am a single parentand although her father is very involved in her life its not a day today thing for him. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you- and Ariel Hyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Hello ... My name is Angel, and my MDS child is , who is 9 years old. I also have Tyler who is 10, who is 7, Jaeda is 6 on Monday! I've been with this group for quite a while now, (internet time flies too fast for me to keep track!) and I think almost all of us have voiced your exact feelings... that this group was SO needed because we often didn't feel we fit in anywhere else. The parents of children with full DS, who really don't understand what a mosaicism or translocation is, so they feel our children don't have the same 'condition' their children do. (Can't tell you how often I've gone thru this: "My child has Mosaic Down Syndrome.", "oooh.... well *my* child has Trisomy 21".... :::thinking::: um, yeah.. I know, I just said my kid does too.... ) I stopped going to the Down Syndrome Support groups when was probably 4 or so. And then on the other hand... they don't necessarily fit in with the majority of kids at school etc, depending on their abilities or disabilities. So I completely understand the feeling! Welcome to the group!! Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Dear and Ariel, WELCOME TO OUR GROUP!!!!! You will definitely find a lot of help here. We all have very similar problems and support each other through most everything. We live in Pennsylvania and our son Jakob is 7 and in the first grade. He is mainstreamed with additional learning support, speech therapy and occupational therapy. And I personally know what you mean about how our kids fit in. Jakob also has ADHD and a form of autism called " aspergers syndrome " . He does not relate to other children like other " normal " children do. Sometimes I think he is living in his own world, and he actually does better with adults. But he does very well in school and loves being there. His reading skills are better than any student his learning support teacher has had. We have not made it known to too many people about Jakob, mostly because we didn't want him labeled, and his doctor suggested we don't for the same reason. But I do think there are a lot of people who wonder about him. My husband (Dave) always says we will tell people on a " need to know " basis. I'm not sure if we are handling it correctly, but I guess time will tell. And since I didn't already tell you, my name is and please feel free to e-mail me anytime. Take care and again welcome to both of you!!! (Mom to Jakob, 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have cirrhosis and am very grateful to be a part of this group. They are very knowledgeable and I am constantly learning something new. My liver disease took me by surprise last September. Started vomiting blood, had endoscopy to treat bleeding esophageal varices, liver biopsy=cirrhosis. I'm married, have 2 daughters, and will be turning 47 August 17th. My liver specialist is very optimistic towards me. Well, this is so unlike me. ....breaking out of my shell. (Don't keep it in, it'll make you sick.)

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 You can always ask for a second opinion. My wife was almost at renal failure before her doctor put her on the transpant list. (which I believe he knew was too late) I talked to the head of the department and he said she should have been on a transplant list at least a year prior. My wife had been seeing this doctor for two years! It's was very upseting. All I can say is be an advocate for his care! Get the answers you are comfortable with. And, read up on the disease! Question the doctors. It sounds like he needs a biopsy. MaC swatsel_01 wrote: Hi All, First let me thank you for having this support group and second for allowing me to join. My 45 year old husband was diagnosed with cryptogenic cirrhosis on March 2nd,06. He thought he had the flu or food poisioning because he was bloated. He went to his pcp who told him he was bleeding internally and sent him on to the gastroentologist the next day. The gasto doc said that he thought he may have liver disease and said he was going to do a scope. Later that day the dr. did the scope and called me in before my husband woke up and told me that our food poisioning was cirrhosis and that my husband had ascites and esophogeal varices (I had no idea what either one of these were. He went on to say that he probably would die if he did not get a liver right away. Needless to say that was the worse 30 seconds of my life. The bleeding stopped and so they waited a week and did the banding surgery and put him on a beta blocker and 2 diuretics and a diet of less than 2,000 mg of sodium per day. They ran a few blood tests and did an abdominal ultrasound and an mri of his pancreas. From just these few tests they said he has cirrhosis and they have no idea why. He has psorasis and the dr. thinks it may be an auto immune problem,but the test for it was negative. I asked the dr. what kind of diet other than the low sodium he needed to be on and he said no other restrictions. In the meantime I asked him how bad my husbands liver is because the dr. went from " your husband needs a liver right away! " to he may die tomorrow or he may live 10-15 years, come back in 6 months. So I asked him to give me his child pugh rating. He said he is a 2. Still confused...how can you be only a 2 and not eligible to be put on the transplant list, but still have ascites and the varices? Can someone tell me if this all sounds pretty typical or do we need a new doctor? I'm sorry this was so long,but it felt good to let it out and again I appreciate the opportunity to do so. My heart goes out to all of you. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 " swatsel_01 " Be aware that the majority of Liver failure patients in the US die since there is a huge shortage of cadaver livers for transplant. See www.unos.org Where ever you are in the US its the same shortage. Therefor to survive you may need to look for a foreign transplant since they have legal living donors where its legal to be paid. That eliminates the shortage. See Liver4you.org Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hi, Dorothy, Not sure why, but only the last two messages on this made it to my mail box. I agree heartily. I think you should say " no " to this applicant; I suspect he is simply soliciting business...and, perhaps, a slimy business at that. You are probably well aware that organ transplants go under very different rules in Asian countries than they do in Western ones and, for a variety of reasons, are more available to Westerners with money than to anyone else. But, as some of our members will tell you, an organ transplant is not a simple operation. It's not as if you have it done and then go home and never worry about it again. It would seem to me that a significant problem is simply in follow up care. If I live in the US and have a transplant in the Philippines, are you really going back there for check ups every couple of weeks? Hope you and are doing well. You can always write me at dhtaylor4@... Take care, Dennis Re: NEW MEMBER Thanks, all, for your input. You confirmed my own opinion.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I spoke to soon. Found the link I wanted. Hi, I am new to the group also. I have cirrhosis ( and will one day get the spelling of that down), along with multiple other things that stem from that or came before. I started looking through the archives and thought I saw where someone posted a link that would give explanations of liver enzymes and there functions and help to understand the enzyme tests. Does anyone have a link on that site handy? I've not found any doctors willing to go in detail on lot of my bloodwork. Thank you for your help and being here.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Welcome. You come to the right place if your looking for support and information. There are a lot of wonderful people who like to help. Hopefully it's in it's very early stages and you will respond to antiviral treatment. Many people do. Some people live there whole lives with disease without it progessing to cirrhosis. So stay positive. Can I ask how you found out and what your doctor has planned?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi, thanks everyone for the support. Right now, Im still adjusting, and hoping that my body will eventually learn how to create anti- bodies. I just found out about it last week. There was a vaccination program in my office, so I took the initiative of being tested. I want to be vaccinated, but then I found out that Im already infected. I went to another doctor, but then the result is still positive. She checked my liver condition, but said that the same is still in a normal condition. Im still going to need to take another test, this time if the result is favorable, I will be given a fit to work certificate. Since this week, I have a lot of deadlines, I can only accomodate this next week. She said that as of the moment, I do not need any medication.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hi and welcome. Many things can cause problems with the liver and it sounds that you are early in the diagnosis. Did you go to the ER? I'm interested how they confirmed cirrhosis looking for gallstones. Unless the did and ultrasound and found the liver nodular or shrunken the diagnosis usually comes from many tests and probably a biopsy. What other symptoms do you have besides the abdominal pain? Any yellowing of the skin or eyes? But first, relax...take a deep breath. There are many people here who give great advice and information. You are among friends and you will learn a lot. What kind of doctor did you see? MaC Donna Lauritzen wrote: Hello, My name is Donna, I'm 40 years old, from Chicago, IL. I was JUST (as in a couple of days ago) diagnosed with cirrhosis. I'd gone to the hospital for severe abdominal pains, and while they were looking for gall stones, they found the cirrhosis. So, they kept me in the hospital to run tests. I don't know yet exactly what caused the cirrhosis: I never was more than an " occasional " drinker (that was during college, and as an adult, I'm a " rare " drinker), I've never had a blood transfusion, and I have never had any symptoms of liver disease. I'm hoping that the tests will give me some answer. My head is still spinning with this diagnosis. I want to learn as much as I can about liver disease, it's causes, treatments, etc. Being a long-term planner, I also want to learn as much as I can about liver transplant. I also know that I'm going to need a lot of support as I learn to live with this. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on this group. Thanks for reading!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hello all, My name is Carolyn and my ds Colton is 10 yrs old and diagnosed with PDD,nos & SPD. I have recently been advised to have him checked for yeast overgrowth and heavy metals. His symptoms are: Always eating craves white foods trouble with bm Upper respiratory/mucus Lots of colds Ear Infections lack of concentration trouble sleeping coordination difficulties confused speech hyperactivity Sensativity to some foods aggitation aggression Colton was a premie and on antibiotics for almost all of the first two years of life. The P-doc did not perscribe any probiotics. I had him checked for allergies but they told me he had none. It is reported that he has low iron. He is not medicated and received OT and speech therapy. I am a single mom and we live in Florida. I look forward to learning just how I can help him cope better with his difficulties.
