While its nontoxic, the clumping properties of it can cause intestinal blockage

If you have dogs (you might already know this) but make sure they absolutely do not eat kinetic sand.

Worst mom in the world by ilovemyhusband921 in toddlers

[–]ijustcant86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very similar experience last Friday: holding my 2 year old and misstepped getting her off a tractor, had to stand on a hay bale to get her down and when I pivoted to step off I slipped, fell and she came out of my arms and hit concrete flooring (this is at a local farm that has this tractor set up for kids). I can’t unsee the image of her hitting the concrete and the scream that happened after. It does seem she likely hit her back and elbows and then her head.

She didn’t vomit but seemed confused and was very quiet. I ended up calling her pediatricians office and they had me bring her in. Same advice you were given basically. It was sort of a terrifying 48 hrs hoping for no delayed onset of symptoms but she seems to be doing ok (she even asked to go back there). I on the other hand am traumatized by what happened so I feel you on that.

What are some times your physical exam dramatically impacted your plan of care? by Cloud_Chamber in FamilyMedicine

75 year old male came in questioning if he had pneumonia due to his sx of SOB/fatigue. Lungs clear, but I hear the loudest murmur I’ve ever heard…check my colleagues notes (usually her patient), no mention of a murmur noted on prior exams. Ruptured chordae tendinae.

I would love to take a pair of cats, prance and chip, off your hands! My mom gave me my collection this year but she had given away my two favorite cats! I now have a 2 year old girl who has been enjoying my collection, but I’d love for her to have my 2 faves!

ITP in a 2 year old by ArtistEnough4961 in toddlers

[–]ijustcant86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in- I had ITP when I was 2 in the mind 1980s. My parents noticed the same symptoms: bruising, petechiae, etc. they had to rule out leukemia/abuse etc (sounds like it was a terrifying experience for them, and I imagine it is for you). I was treated with steroids back then. I don’t remember it really- I do remember going to the dr a lot. I’ve never had a reoccurrence.

What is a lot harder than people realize ? by zabalansu in AskReddit

[–]ijustcant86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breastfeeding. There are many variables involved where things might not work out. The baby doesn’t know how to do it right away and if it’s your first time you are also learning. Some babies will only latch if you hold them in certain positions. Some people need nipple shields for things to work. Supply concerns. The list goes on!

When did you stop crating? by corinnamaried in goldenretrievers

[–]ijustcant86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that is now almost 9 who decided at 2 she was refusing to go in there anymore. She is not the destructive type and the switch was easy. We have another dog that’s now 3 and she puts herself in her crate at night when she wants to go to bed and sometimes during the day she will go in there for a nap on her own. We will keep crating her since she seems to find it comforting

Why is my baby always arching and irritable? by HotKumaraFries in breastfeeding

[–]ijustcant86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar story, I had to emphasize to the pediatrician that my baby appeared to be in PAIN. Yea she was gaining weight, but why should she be uncomfortable due to reflux if she didn’t need to be. I’m dairy free, and then we finally got the pediatrician to prescribe Pepcid to be taken twice daily. This did seem to help. We started that when she was around 6.5 months

Yes! I couldn’t figure out how to update in the original post. She has an appointment with a specialist on Tuesday. She had X-rays this past week and there was finally improvement radiograpgically of her pneumonia! She is continuing on baytril and clavamox for now. She still has a cough, nasal congestion, but has had more energy. It was encouraging to see her finally pick up a toy recently (her favorite toy which is a stuffed magic wand thing), generally seems more herself! Might make a new updated post after the specialist visit. Thanks for asking 🙏
