Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Dear Friends, I have a concern about Kayla. She is 7 yo, about 4' 3 " tall and weighs 57 pounds. My question is this: Her stomach seems so large compared to the rest of her body size. It is almost like it is swollen. I don't know if this is because of the weight gain of 14 pounds in the last year or not. She is fairly small boned and has always been real tiny, until the weight gain. Has anyone seen this in their girls? Should we be concerned that it may be something else? I have looked in medical web sites and have found nothing. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 You might want to see if she has impacted bowels. This is common in kids with a tendancy towards constipation. READ WILLISS'S paper. Even Diahrreah can be a form of CONSTIPATION, becuase a blockage is causing the loose stools. Hard to explain, but very interesting implications. Fungal forms (candida and other fungals) may be to blame as well as inadequate HCI or enzymes in the gut. Heal the gut = heal some symptoms of autism, seen it firsthand in my kids.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 My son just came home from school and told me that at his last hour class he had gotten sucker from his pen pal from another school. They had the students writing to each other. And his penpal sent that for a halloween treat. Anyway, he opened it and started to eat it when the bell rang. He got on his bus and there was a substitute bus driver. She told him to take it out of his mouth and throw it away. He said he did, then he smiled. I suppose he was embarrassed, and with having aspergers, didnt really know how to behave. Anyway, I really dont see how smiling was bad. But the bus driver said to him, "Stop smiling you F...ing scum face!" I called the school but there was only a young girl working, and she kept trying to transfer me to voice mail, and it wasnt working. I wasnt sure which bus company it was, but I did find the right one when I called and asked. Im not very good at talking to people myself ( probably slight aspergers too) anyway, I told them the number of the bus my son rides, and I said that there was a subsitute bus driver who swore at my son. They said they would talk to her when she got back. That was it. But I dont feel satisfied with that. I wish I would have told the whole story like my son told me. I feel scared about having that lady drive a school bus if she cant even control her self when she talks to kids. I know there is a shortage of school bus drivers where I live, but I dont want just anybody driving school busses. My son goes to a school out in the country where it is one school for grades kindergarden through 8th grade. He is in 7th grade. He said that the kindergardeners are the ones who sit in the front of the bus. So they are the ones who heard what she said. What other steps should I take in this? Or should I just leave it as it is? I find it so much easier to write than to actually have to talk in person about this. What do you all think?

I think you son deserves an apology. *sorry... I'm a respect addict* three.. What the school does with that bus driver is their 'policies'... but I would stay on top... and find out what DOES happen to this person!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Step 1 Put everything your son said and you feel into a letter to the bus company. STep 2 have your son right his own version and send it with your letter. Step 3 report this to your sons principal and your district superintendent in a letter Do everything as nicely as possible. Tell them how concerned you are that very young children heard this exchange. A person like this should not be working with children. Also show them you are willing to hear "the other side".

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi , I think you should most definately write to them. This was the most unbeleivable behaviour. That woman should not be driving kids. If I were you I would insist on a written appology and I would want to be assured she will never drive my kids again!!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 What I would do would be to write three letters (all the same) to the Principal, the District Superintendent and the company that supplies the school bus service (if it is not run directly by the district). You can just copy and paste what you wrote to us. Make sure that you mention in the first line that you have sent the letter to other people (i.e. " a copy of this letter has been sent to the District Superintendent and the manager of Busses 'R' Us Transport " ). People are more likely to ask if they know that someone else know that you are complaining. At the end of the letter ask for a reply (i.e. 'I look forward to your reply, letting me know what steps have been taken to prevent this problem from happening again. " ) Then I would let it go and try not to think about it too much -- I know it would drive me nuts if I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi,My daughter is 3.5 yrs and in her 6th cast. We didn't get any correction in cast #3-5 and a 3 month brace break.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Joan, I've been lead to believe by our doctor that rotation is the key to casting.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Joan, I don't know about rotation post casting, but we did brace for over a year before her surgery. The reason we had to do surgery when we did is because the braces weren't able to hold her rotation. Her curves were being held in check, but not the rotation of her lower spine. I don't know if that will help you or not as you know, Grace has congenital scoliosis, not IS.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I agree , I think it is key to why Keira's curve finally started to decrease after almost a year of staying the same; her rotation is almost gone. When we were in the brace over the summer her curve didn't improve, but we could actually start to see her rotation starting to increase. The PT thought so as well, but thought that it was due to the trunk muscles strengthening. However, since SLC doesn't due 'out of cast' xrays, we really have no clue what was going on. I asked our Dr about an out of cast/brace xray and his reply was that it wouldn't change the course of treatment so he didn't want the extra radiation exposure. I agreed.Liz, Mom to Keira - 3.5 yrs in cast #6 in SLCSubject: RE: Need AdviceTo: infantile_scoliosis Date: Friday, January 22, 2010, 3:52 PM Hi Joan, I've been lead to believe by our doctor that rotation is the key to casting.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi s Mom, I would go with your gut. Bracing has less of chance in maintaining her at 24 degrees. How is her rotation? Continued casting should hold her where she is and you may even see some more correction. Some children don’t see any improvement for 3 / 4 casts and in the 5 th one, they see significant correction. Is she comfortable in her casts?
