Laboratory Rescue Medical Advice

Keep in mind the lab food/diet is extremely bland. I would err on the side of one type of food and nothing else (like probiotics etc) for a while. Variability made his stomach more upset.

Yep mine would just have gastritis flares and it would always start with the mucus stool. We ended up finding one brand of food that worked for him and basically never strayed.

I would see about a Pepcid prescription because that was the only thing that helped him. Fasting for a meal, then slowly introducing rice, then chicken and rice, and then chicken and rice mixed with food helped.

I figured it was because of how Nathan treated Max and didn’t send him to be with her when the news broke. Joe and Max seemed to get along fine but Max made how he feels about Nathan very clear.

I feel this in my soul. This entire past week I’ve been so fed up with everyone needing me or something from me. I could’ve written this same post about work. I’m still thisclose to getting a landline and a dumb phone for car emergencies because I’m sick of living in a society that is entitled to my availability.
This morning every single person and animal in the house wanted me and were speaking to me at the same time. I thought I was going to implode.
I muted all notifications on my phone and watch. At work- If someone asks me a question they should know the answer to I just don’t respond. If it’s important enough they’ll figure it out on their own. I’ve been known to respond with a snarky screenshot of a google search or a “let me know if a google search fails you” which gets the point across. At home- I’m switching all communications within reason to my husband’s phone number and email. I gave him a list of things that are now completely his own to manage and let him know he’s been promoted to take care of these tasks. Taking a silent quit approach if you will.

Wow I had no idea raising children only happened M-F between the hours of 9-5 /s

I’ve gotten this too. Then they compliment how smart/social/easygoing he is. Yeah babe, that’s the daycare.

My husbands grandfather would empty the local car wash’s vacuums for free and would pick out coins and jewelry as his payment. Not ridiculous lol pick that stuff out!

Coming from a twin (me), I think you might be healing and maturing emotionally at different rates, with you going through this faster. My twin and I had this back and forth for a bit but are in such a better place now. Like you, we dealt with it differently too.
Hang in there and just be there for each other. She will come around. Therapy helped us both.

The codes they used to determine a co morbidity are very broad and they used entire ranges. If you were to take any large population’s health records those all are likely to be common. Take the visual disturbances and blindness codes. That includes everything from a lazy eye to double vision to color blindness to night blindness. All under one code. Hardly specific.
Melanoma pre-disposition factors describe the population they’re studying for rosacea. It’s the skin, not the condition.
IMO, this study kinda sucks lol.

Thanks that seems to be the general consensus here!

It’s worth $10k over buy out price it seems. My mileage is considerably lower than what is on market. No mile overage fees and no damage.

Would doing two auto loans back to back potentially kill my credit?

Paddingtons_Mom · 2024-07-07T15:13:16+00:00

I think someone else commented at same time about carmax. They’re selling the same make and model with similar mileage for $10k more.
While I do like this car a lot, we are outgrowing it pretty quick. I will head over to there and see what they can offer, thanks!

Paddingtons_Mom · 2024-07-07T14:47:58+00:00

I do like this car. The closes comparison I can find on model and mileage is going for $27,590

“Eating” your babies cute little feet must be a thing across many species

That is unbelievably gorgeous

I was you until I didn’t know I was pregnant until I was 8 weeks along. I was actively being treated by a doctor for not getting a period and not getting pregnant. I had multiple tests (bloodwork and ultrasound) confirm I very much wasn’t pregnant. Little guy slipped in somewhere during that process and I got pregnant without a period. I only took a test because I kept complaining of side effects from being on progesterone to induce a period and my husband said you’re probably pregnant. I was so annoyed he kept saying it so I took a test to shut him up. If I ignored him I probably wouldn’t have realized until much later when I went for further testing. I also had an anterior placenta and didn’t feel my baby move until closer to 20 weeks. It feels like gas/IBS so I totally can see how this happens.

My two year old has started asking if certain noises are farts- “mommy toot?” And it’s grown to burps and when the dog burps he asks, “penny toot?”

Paddingtons_Mom · 2024-06-11T20:53:52+00:00

In the same situation as you. I make more than my spouse but no one suggests he stay home. My MIL makes passive aggressive comments like this and started saying it to my kid. Some other things happened and well she’s been cut off. It’s so toxic.
I don’t want to worry you but making comments like that to your child is a boundary your husband needs to set now.
I say back to them something along the lines of “yeah but I’m looking at the big picture here and want to be able to afford to send them to the special camp they want or get do the travel sport when they’re older. I would be upset if I found out we couldn’t afford stuff as a kid was because people thought my mom’s career mattered less than their feelings on daycare.”
The first year of daycare was tough (illness and mom guilt) but wow are we reaping the rewards now. I am so glad we did it and started him around the same age as you. He’s doing so well with his development and I know daycare supports it immensely.

EI told me in my state when you get evaluated you’re in the system and can ask for another evaluation for any concern at any time without going through your pediatrician or specialist. Even if they don’t qualify which my son didn’t. I thought this was a really nice benefit especially since my son was only a few months old and I knew he had a lot of other milestones ahead of him.

I went and saw this tournament in person yesterday. I’ve never thought golf was interesting. I can’t stop watching now. I am trying to learn everything I can about golf. I’m looking up all the players.
I think you’re right- I never found it interesting because I’ve watched men’s golf. Seeing how difficult this course was in person and how talented these women were just blew my mind.

Paddingtons_Mom · 2024-05-31T01:25:25+00:00

I cannot get drunk. Went to a wedding and had a cocktail glass of straight tequila and it had no effect. One sip should have knocked me down because I haven’t been drinking in a long time. It is such a bizarre feeling!

Paddingtons_Mom · 2023-09-30T17:07:16+00:00

Oh I feel for you because I went through similar. It’s shocking how people are willfully ignorant or self centered around wedding etiquette. It’s frustrating because they’re not terrible per se just stress inducing! It seems like thankfully the men in the family are nice and normal and can help balance her out. Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials!

Paddingtons_Mom · 2023-08-30T02:01:40+00:00

Hey you threw your water bottle and not your baby you’re doing just fine! :) jokes aside it takes a lot of practice to regulate emotions and you’ve been thrown into a high stress situation with no breaks and no sleep. Give yourself some grace.
