Glynis always has great advice so I am just adding some from my family to yours.

Thanks,

Lots of hugs to both you and Molly, Robyn.

And lots of pixie dust for no rain tomorrow, Jen!

Again, thanks.

Is there any way at all you could explain your frustration to the doctor that is filling in and try to get a number where you could call your pediatrician? I would think that he/she would want to be able to help Molly, given that he/she knows the full situation.

I called and left a message, hoping for a return call soon.

I know that you didn't have a good experience with the woman on the phone this morning, but could that doctor contact your pediatrician and give the results?

They are supposed to be sending a copy of the results to our reg ped. as is their standard procedure.

It's just so frustrating when your baby is hurting and there's nothing you can do about it. Being pregnant on top of it, doesn't help matters, does it?

That's what I hate the most, feeling powerless. Yeah the hormones aren't helping! I couldn't finish a sentence when I was talking to Eric without crying.

Can you go back to the meds that Molly was taking before this test? At least it would be something until your pediatrician gets back.

I'm thinking that I may just start her up again.

Robyn - I'm so sorry you are going through all of this with the doctors. Everyone has such good advice. Is there any way to get a referral to a specialist, or what that who did the biopsy? I know it would seem like starting all over, but what about finding a new ped.?

Thanks, Tammi. The specialist is the one who did the endoscopy. I love the girl's doctor, she is such a great one. This is the 3rd one they've had but by far the best. Her fill in and replacement dr.s just aren't up to par with her. It's just bad timing that she had to have surgery when we are going through all this.

I am off of here to get Molly and the rest of the gang up from their naps and head outside. Talk to you all later. Thanks again for all the support and advice!

We spent our second night last night. It's going to take a little getting used to....my migraine is gone, FINALLY!!

The school lockdown isn't affecting our kids that I know of but we've had enough lock downs of our own lately...I will be happy when school is out for the summer.

Congratulations on being in your house! Yup, it will take some getting used to, but it will be worth it!!!

See the pirate crocs at www.crocs.com but they are still listed as "coming soon". Not sure how someone bought them at Nordstrom if Crocs doesn't even have them yet, but I am still going to go look!

I actually wouldn't be shocked if they're already at Nordstrom's. I know it took forever for the collegiate and other Disney Crocs to be available for purchase from the Crocs site, yet many other online and brick-and-mortar stores were already selling them!

I had the boys put the gifts together when they got home and they LOVED the idea. They called me a smart Mommy I didn't mention that I borrowed 1/2 the ideas from a thread here. It's not often that they think I'm smart.

I hope you have a good night at work, Deb. You are a smart mommy, we all thank so!

Im being so lazy today and love it..i packed for Disney!!

Woo hoo!

Jen, that the rain holds off.

Robyn,

Theresa, getting used to our own home wasn't a problem but then we didn't live with anyone before getting our own home. The thing that took getting used to is the quiet. Where we used to live was right next to a very busy and heavily traveled road. Where we are now, hardly any traffic during the day let alone at night.

Has anyone ever created a photo slide show with music and burnt to a dvd? If so, what program have you used? I need something very user friendly.

i made a slideshow using photostory for windows using pictures from my disney trip this past weekend and used songs i had downloaded on my computer. i have not burned a cd/dvd though

 

[tinknme]

I hear ya! I am so ready

That fact is the one thing that is keeping Stephanie and I from going crazy
Almost every day we ask each other "Is it October yet?"

 

[tinknme]

These all brought a big smile to my face

It might be a sin to have as much fun as we will

Glad to hear Molly's biospy is normal, but sorry you had to go through so much to find out!

Sorry to pop in with a vent but I am so frustrated with the Dr.s and this whole thing with Molly. I called the # on our discharge papers as I had yet to hear from them regarding the biopsy results. The lady there informs me that I was to call the hospital for the results myself. Well, that's not what we were told. She gives me the number, which if I was to call I would have had to been psychic as the # is nowhere on our paperwork. I call and have to leave a message with the promise of a return call in 48hrs. Well that then puts us at Monday, 2 weeks from the test. I refuse to wait that long considering it took me about 1 1/2 weeks to get the test scheduled. So I call the office where we 1st went for our initial appt and they tell me to call her DC office directly to leave the Dr. a message. Of course, this is the 1st number I called this morning. So I call back hoping to just leave the Dr. a message but no I get the woman I spoke to earlier and tell her I want to leave a message. So she starts taking the message and then realizes she's talked to me earlier and starts getting a little nasty that I am calling back now. "Did you leave a message for Shirley", "You need to wait til she calls back" "You were told the wrong info at the hospital" and my fave "Well, ma'am, we have lots of other patients too". I am close to tears and basically hang up after I tell her that I am sorry to have bothered her. Needless to say, "Shirley" calls me back not 2 minutes after that phone call and gives me the results. Molly's biopsy came back normal. Ok, great, now what? Well if the Dr. wanted to do more tests she would have contacted you. So I feel no better right now than I did before I got her results. I'm glad there is nothing wrong with her tummy but I have not imagined the past 3 years. And on top of everything Molly's regular pediatrician is on short term medical leave and won't be back til the end of May. I have no idea where to go from here.

Thanks, Karen. I worked with that program a bit last night. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't put in a title page. Or maybe I just haven't figured out how to do that!

I'll chance it and go to confession when I return!!!!

This is just not my year! I got our phone bill & noticed it was higher than usual. We are on a package, so the cost is usually the same every month. I get to looking & there are 1-900 numbers on there I call our phone company & they give me another number to call to dispute it. I am so angry, these are calls made to a hotline I know none of us made these, one was during the afternoon while the boys were at school & Gary & I were at work! I was told that within 6 days they would let me know if the charges will be taken off. I told them that if they did not take away the charges that I will be going to the BBB & getting something done about this!

Ok vent over.

Janet,

Do you have a 900 and 976 block on your phone? It is best to do so.
Sometimes it helps to get the credit faster. Just tell them you never thought you would have to worry about those kind of charges. Also question if the charges were charged to your phone or were really dialed from the house. Could it have been when you were away?
Just keep at it.

Could you recommend "Because..." for a teenager?? Cassidy wants to watch it.

Gotta go, Garrett has a game. I will catch up later!

I am glad your DS is home! Will your other DS at least come to visit before the next semester begins?

I am thinking maybe going down there to visit him, or if not then hopefully he can come up to visit, but I haven't worked out any details yet.

Robyn, that does sound extremely frustrating, I really hope you find a way to get some answers soon.
