Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Scream all you want baby! On this list it is not unusual and you are not alone in your ranting. We all flounder. Sometimes I think life is as sticky as the stuff that my kid coughs up...sometimes I think life is worse... But ahh, those rare moments when the sun is a golden disk in a sky so blue that it takes your breath away and your child laughs above your head as you swing her round.... It's worth it... stickyness and all. Dawn mom of 4, 7 and under, the youngest wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Danelle, With the symptoms Chas has now I think you should take him in. It sounds as though he may be getting deydrated. Children that age who aren't drinking and are acting lethargic can easily be dehydrated. I would get him checked out. Is he making wet diapers? Dehydration can be very dangerous. And don't ever feel you are bothering the doctor, its nothing, etc.ANY time you are concerned should be reason enough for a phone call. And about us, we are here for you to cry, whine, scream and vent on. that's what we are here for. I think I speak for everyone when I say we ALL get depressed, we are all scared. There is just so much going on. Don't be afraid to ask for help. I've been on antideppressants for a few years and some didn't help, some made it worse, but I finally seem to have found one that is helping. I've also been in counseling, and I have been told I handle things very well, which made me feel so much better. I hope this helps. keep writing. love, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 It is great that you put your faith In God. I do too. But the point you are missing is that you have to do your job as the mother. You can not give up on your child just because they have a disease of such nature or they will die. Love is the strongest medicine! Even if it means never getting sleep, not being able to work, not being able to do as much for the other members of the family, staying home instead of taking a vacation, and the list goes on. I have given up alot for my child, but it is not anything that I wouldn't do again. You forget God doesn't give us more than we can handle! My daughter is 6 years old and it has not been a fun road but she will always be my baby! > > > I know the feeling, my son is just 27 months and I get scared too, but I don't suppose there is any thing we can do to keep them here longer then you-know who wants them here.

I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this group to go to and vent. Because know one knows what a person goes thought that have kids with CF but us parents right here. We feel your pain and it just makes you feel so much better to know that there are others out there going through the same things you are. I have two kids with CF!! NOW DO YOU FEEL BETTER!! Sometimes hearing someone that has more to deal with makes you feel OK well if she can handle two kids one it's so bad. I know when I go to the hospital and see kids in wheel chairs and ventilators I think OK we don't have it so bad. There is always someone that has more to do with then we do. So count your blessing!! I hope this helps you to feel better. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 i think its almost a " must " really - different dr's do it different ways - my dr said he pours water in there to submerge the pouch and if no bubbles he suctions the water out and closes -- he never does a barium swallow unless after the pt starts having trouble. visit our website www.geocities.com/tanyarn96/countryside.html www.poncetihomes.com -- Re: Just wondering can't wait for all docs & hospitals, but i imagine they're mighty interested in covering their a$$e$. lori h. > what if you dont have a leak test? > > > Pre-Op LapRNY > Surgery Date 10-21-03 > Dr. K.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 hi, i don't think i could have anything the day of surgery - not even ice chips but i'll tell you what was wonderful - they had these little sponges on a stick with little tubes that looked like white hand lotion - i rubbed the entire inside of my mouth with the lotion and it was great - my mouth felt like your hands do and you rub lotion on them -- i even brought the rest home in case i need them again. and remember - as long as you are getting IV fluids you will not dehydrate. visit our website www.geocities.com/tanyarn96/countryside.html www.poncetihomes.com -- Re: Just wondering In a message dated 10/13/2003 11:04:39 AM Central Standard Time, leslieileen31@... writes: Many are saying that you are not allowed to have water the first day after surgury.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hey , I thought that was a cute idea too.
