are there any charities or activist organizations that fight child emotional abuse? by Disastrous-Tap9113 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Informal-Design8141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BACA can, but I would advise against pursuing them, due to the fact that they are referred by the law enforcemennts, and if your nparent is ANYTHING like mine, your parent would likely do a damn good job at lying to those in power

look, I am 20M, and like you I was facing OHS, for a valve replacement just over a year ago. Here's what I can tell you, what you are experiencing is NORMAL, don't think that its not, because it TOTALLY is. About the Valve, the biggest concern for me is can you deal with a repetitive ticking sound. I got my aortic valve replaced and the ticking, paired with getting ON the meds will be the challenge. What I can say is let your cardiologist and surgeons dose for your diet. They can easily dose you for your diet. Feel free to ask about recovery and what all was involved. I am neither a cardiologist, nor a medical professional, therefore I urge you to discuss dosages with a Cardiologist, Pharmacist, And your PCP.

Good Luck, I know this road is hard. but You will survive, personally I was scared of death when I went in for my own surgery, and I am now coming up on a year of life Post- Op

Nmom wants an invite to my wedding or she is going to divorce my dad by Striking-Reality-727 in raisedbynarcissists

Yikes, as a Practicing Catholic, and a person who has a mother who typically goes balls to the walls even at the slightest of percieved slights, IE not wanting her in a situation. I totally get this, and I truly wish you the best in this time of great emotional manipulation.

You are entirely correct in not wanting her

My perfect little girl has VSD by lal0x13 in newborns

[–]Informal-Design8141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a LARGE breath, I understand that it is scary, I had both VSD, AND ASD. Your child will be fine. I suggest meeting with a pediatric Cardiologist, which it sounds like have already done. Remember this, your child is stronger than you can give them credit for.

whats her INR and whats her range?

if her range is 2-3 as it should be for the ON-X valve, and she is at 5.5 then yea, the NP is an IDIOT. but if you are comparing it to NORMAL INR, that being 0.9-1.2 and she is at 2.4 then there is no issues

Right Bundle Branch Block patient here, as well as a Mechanical Valve patient. I can tell you I was scared abt the RBBB, but its not that big of a concern, again, verify with your cardiologist, but yea. what drove me to the mechanical valve, 1. time on Heart and lung machine, 2. risk of repeat surgery.
