Also, she should have gotten some meds (a perscription) in her discharge package for nausea. I recommend it!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Stella, Our son did not sit up until he was 1 year old. He didn't walk until 17 months old and didn't crawl until he was about 2 1/2 yrs. old (must admit when he finally did it, it brought a tear to my eye even though he was walking for a year already!). I am not familiar with a regional center. Do you live in the U.S.? If so, I would really recommend appealing to get your daughter PT through your 0-3 program (Early Intervention). In our county your child needs a 25% delay in a given area or just a diagnosis with a probability of a delay. So, Jake was covered either way. When he turned 2 1/2 we pulled him from Early Intervention and put him in special education preschool and he received his therapies there. While he made huge improvements in most areas (ie. speech, trying new foods and the ability to cut the umbilical cord from Mom) his PT progress has been minimal. We just decided to add private PT through our insurance company. They actually cut his PT services in school because they don't feel his delays are significant or slowing his ability to be educated. He is NOT anywhere close to be able to do what his same age peers can do (ie. run, jump, climb effortlessly). I think our Early Intervention program did a fabulous job with his PT. He received one our a week of one on one therapy. I definitely recommend it. Best wishes, Alison > Dear Group, > Our regional center, has justed closed out case on our Daughter > .

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 To la's mom - Here in Los Angeles, the early intervention services are provided through what we call " Regional Centers. " They are known for having VERY TIGHT guidelines, due to lack of funds. It is absolutely ridiculous that they are discontinuing services due to orthopedic impairment. It is clear that they do not understand why an RSS child's motor development issues may be impaired (unless your child does have major orthopedic issues that we don't know about?) Have you provided the Regional Center with the MAGIC literature on RSS, like the blue RSS brochure? I would be happy to speak with them, as would Katy, I am sure. We aren't doctors, but we can make sure that they know we aren't medical personnel - just reps from MAGIC. Keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Misti, please don't get mad at me for being blunt. First of all, 29lbs in a month is wonderful! Before surgery, I bet you wouldn't have been able to say that. Now, if the doctor told you to stay on liquids for a certain amount of time, why didn't you? You can't expect this tool to work if you abuse it. Don't think you got the short end of the stick due to the amount of intestine bypassed. You have to work with the tool for it to work. It doesn t matter if they bypassed 10cm or 300cm if you aren't going to follow the rules and follow the doctor's orders. You're worried about " im going to be the horror story u hear where someone only loses 40 pounds with this surgery " . Well, you will be if you continue to disregard the doctor's advice and all the rules that you are supposed to be following. This surgery is NOT a quick fix. I really think you need to sit down and do tons of research and get yourself in gear. http://www.gastricbypassfamily.com/PouchRules.html Go there, read that. And do more research. www.gastricbypassfamily.com has tons of infomation for you. So does www.obesityhelp.com Good luck, and I really do hope you get back on track. I'm sorry if I upset you by being blunt. in Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bled for a straight week in my 2nd month with my twins a bright red blood and did not even know I was prego because of it, thought it was my period. So yes, a baby is till possible.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 I have always been told that if a pregnancy test comes up positive you are pregnant. I have only heard of false negatives. Although, I do remember hearing once that certain antibiotics can produce false-positive results on a pregnancy test. I don't know if that is true or not. I am pretty sure that if you took a pregnancy test and it was positive, that you are pregnant. I would call the Dr. for a blood test. I hope you get the results you are looking for. Best wishes, need help i took a pregnancy test the other day and i think it was wrong it showed up that i was not pregnant and i was disappointed but i really think i am has anyone experienced this with a pregnancy test showing up that you weren't pregnant and you really was.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 When I got pregnant last July, I took a pregnancy test when I was 2 days late and it came up negative so instead of taking another test I waited and called the doctors office and explained that at that point I was almost a week late and they sent me for a blood test which came up positive. Unfortunately, I lost that pregnancy of triplets but when I got pregnant in November, the test came up positive and I was three days late at that point. I would call the doctors if you still haven't gotten your period to get a blood test. Best wishes to you!!
