PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 19

[paigevz]

If I start to pee on rugs, can I get drugs too?

Likely so, but you'll also have to move to a place with beautifully manicured lawns that you never get to walk on, no sharp objects and locked doors.

Ohh, as long as I can go somewhere with cute orderlies I'm fine with that!!

Sounds dreamy. Where do I sign up?

You get used to it when it happens all the time...we barely pause when we get puke here....let's face it, this is the House of Puke. You do worry, no matter what is wrong with them you always worry.

Tig's Tatas from what I hear... (just pretend there are only two heads)


Never say never

I haven't mentioned it much, but both my boys have reflux, so I am quite used to puke myself. Thing 1's doesn't go that far anymore, Thing 2's still does if he gets overly upset, and he is quite good at getting upset. Today was a poopy/fever day. Part of the reason Thing 1 is small, the doctors had said, is that his reflux was so severe. He would drink an 8 oz bottle and only keep an estimated 2 oz. I tried to breast feed both, and I had to supplement both from their second or third week because they couldn't keep enough down. Then Thing 1 also had to have cereal. They've both had medicines out the wazoo, and Thing 1 had the propulsid that later was pulled and class action suits filed. We don't know if any damage was done to him with that or not. We didn't feel it helped, so didn't give it past a month or so, thank goodness. But he was very young and still developing. We had the can-never-go-visit-anyone-because-my-kid-will-puke, the million changes of clothes in the diaper bag, so I always carried the hugest ones I could buy, the burp blankets instead of burp cloths, the changing of the clothes I dont know how many times just as I was going out the door to work. Cleaning the carpets, trying to figure out what to do about the smell in the house...........somehow it was just always there. And trying and trying to explain to the daycare that no, he was not sick, they simply couldn't allow him to cry like that. It wasn't a matter of spoiling, it was a matter of did they want him to puke or not?

Wow. There's my book for the night.

This was my first thought.

This was my second thought.

It's soooooo fun isn't it! Do either of them still get reflux? We call Previcid the wonder drug in our house. It hasn't cured him of course (since his thing is more than just the reflux) but it really really helped knock down the acid. When they took him off of it he started getting chronic inflamation and damage again.

By the way, we've given up, refuse to have company and will rip up the carpet in a couple of years when he gets better at making it to the toilet.

Poop and fever is no picnic either. I hate fevers, they get scary! Poop is no fun for their hineys.

Hi Snowy!

 

[sumrmist]

hi all.....back for a little while
I have a question after reading the first post in the depressed cat thread....do people really think its " could of" instead of " could have"
I see that more and more often on here. I also hate reading threads where people get souvanirs.

I am at home watiting for DD to return from church, she went with our friend, then will take it from there. Everything sortof happened at last minute, since 6pm, it has been the waiting thing.

Yes they both have chronic and severe reflux as does my entire family........me, both brothers and mom. Thing 2 still pukes when upset, Thing 1 just has it come up and knows to get tums and has an order in the school nurse's office, and that generally is the first thing either one does when sick........puke first, other symptoms later.

Hullo!

Hullo.

You want to talk? Or just sit quietly and read?

Yes, what they are doing is miswriting the contraction could've. Could have.......could've..........could of.

 

[LaraK]

yes

Debbie, I don't want to put my foot in it or anything, but if you want to PM me I can tell you what my hospital does in terms of timing of the work up that it sounds like they're running. Just let me know.
