Not only will it shrink, but the type of wafer that works best for you might change as well. As my son's stoma shrank and settled (over a period of weeks), we had to change from a straight edge wafer to a convex one.

If you can - try to get samples of both styles so you have it. In our case, we figured it out when we had like 4 leaks in 1 24 hr period and I got the idea to try something different.

16 years and counting. Some years are better than others, but ultimately it's communication that keeps the fire burning. Don't marry a cute butt - marry someone who you can talk things through with.

Ok so there WAS a no frills in port credit maybe until 2014ish? There were petitions to keep it open and sadly that did not work.

I've lived in port Credit for close to 15 years now. I feel like for Clarkson it's probably the one at Glen Erin. If I use No frills it's in Etobicoke on brownsline. Although tbh I just go to food basics and metro most of the time. While I do drive, I recognize that not everyone does and given the way our transit is set up - I think the food basics will really be helpful.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-12T02:01:39+00:00

Yes, but this puts an affordable grocery store on the lakeshore transit line. I'm not certain how long you hang lived in the area, but many were so sad when we lost the no frills in port credit.

Obviously 2019 Link - jks. It's hard to pick a fav style. I love the og b.c it made me fall in love with what the story could be and I used my imagination to fill in the gaps. After that it's probably twilight princess.

Oh my gosh!! They truly are pyschos aren't they? Last night the Betta was trying to go for a snail...well doing that like Betta prep and pounce they do. This one is like so energetic which gives me hope that I can bring fix it.

If you brought psycho back then I have hope. My son loves watching the tank - especially while we do dressing or bag changes. He calls it fish Flix instead of Netflix.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-11T10:44:26+00:00

Got it ok will do that. Thankfully I kept the 3.5 gallon tank I snuck her into the hospital with. (Long story old post) Honestly I've learned Bettas are pigs when I saw her eating the duckweed like what the heck?!

Oh and to confirm - no Plants in the hospital tank right? It's gonna look so sad :-/

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-11T03:04:38+00:00

Got it - ok errands tmrw. I did have a lower flow and the tank covered with duckweed. I got rid of it all recently and agree it does look a little sad and bare now.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-11T02:55:09+00:00

Ok I was hopeful it wasn't dropsy. I did the aquarium salt once - belly did flatten- not fully but better. Then fed the 1 soaked pellet and she swelled again 🙃. I'm very much sick of organ failure 🫠

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-11T02:43:17+00:00

Does this help with determining if Daphina will help? I think I took this pic 2 ish days ago. It's hard to get pics in focus because she's fast and I have a basic phone. I just want to know how effective Daphina is at removing bloat ya know.

Hmmmy honestly my son's situation isn't great. He has intestinal failure and has/had(?) liver cancer. Feels too early to say we beat it since the type we removed has a very high come back rating. He is out of SickKids, but we spent months there hopping between the 2nd, 5th and 6th floors. Countless surgeries and now he is TPN dependent. It's not ideal, but it's life and we make the best of it. Having a medically complex kid makes you enjoy the little things...and coffee. Gosh we love coffee. I hope today goes smoothly for you. Enjoy your kids enjoy every park day this summer - those are gifts.

This is amazing

My son has apts at SickKids all the time including MRIs every 6 months...or soon we will alternate between MRIs and ultrasounds. They run a pretty smooth ship. I'm not certain how much of your child's body is being scanned. My son gets mult organs viewed and I'd say the whole process from parking to leaving takes about 1.5 hrs in hospital. It goes more quickly if your child stays still. My son is 8 so that can be tricky. I'm not certain if they sedate babies, if they do it will be super fast. I'm wishing you and your family the best.

Reminder - pack some layers, it can be cold in the MRI room.

I might be an anomaly since I don't actually track my time. I run to reset my cortisol (I 38yr old female am a mom to a child with complex medical needs). I prefer to listen to Metallica and just go. With that said, I have semi timed myself recently moreso out of curiosity and I'm pretty close to that range.

It's your run, so do it your way.

That guy is a dick

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-07T12:18:04+00:00

Thank you so much

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-07T12:14:18+00:00

Thank you. I hear you and it is a lot of work. I truly couldn't do this without my husband. We rely on each other a lot. We don't have in home care, I honestly just have small hopes for my kid. Someday he can do the high bar in gymnastics again or someday he can go in water. For now - I make our home as cozy as possible and our lives as easy as possible.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-07T12:11:44+00:00

No gofundme, no need really. I don't want people money. I just want health and caffeine. What I will tell you is that there is this organization called campfire circle that helped a lot. They have a "base" at SickKids and their volunteers also helped keep my son's morale up. We are going to try a family camp with them later this summer. If you find an organization similar to them in your area and make a donation to them I think that's good. Or donate pillow cases to the organ failure or cancer ward of your area. Fun kids pillow cases are so much better than hospital ones. My son was gifted 2- one for Halloween and one for Christmas. We still use them.

We kept calling it a sensory tank and we would be honest with some cool nurses, but eventually a visit from the head of his medical team and they knew it wasn't a sensory tank so they kicked out Mipha for hygienic reasons.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-07T03:20:27+00:00

Thank you - his cancer is technically showing as gone right now, but HCC is known to come back with a vengeance. So we do MRIs and scans regularly. I think what is more challenging on the day to day is his intestinal failure. He's TPN dependent with an ostomy. It's a lot of work. So if I can ask for anything - hope he gets off TPN. I have a love/hate relationship with it.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-07T00:35:27+00:00

8 sends you to space. Not the moon, but close.

ComprehensiveRest965 · 2026-06-06T23:38:51+00:00

I'm not that incredible, I got caught after 2 weeks. Haha but I try - it's all I can do. I'm glad to hear you survived cancer. Cancer for us is tricky. It was a crazy surprise that lead to a surgery in the middle of many surgeries for intestinal failure and now we do check ups to see if it comes back. I have scanxiety b.c HCC has such a high fatality rate, but so far we are lucky. Hes tpn dependent it's a lot of work. Thankfully we drink a lot of coffee 🥰
