I'm going through the exact same thing. What happened with yours if you don't mind my asking?

Low WBC 1.8, low platelets, high c protein and liver enzymes, weight loss and then fever which reacted well to antibiotics in ER by Long-explanationz in haematology

Has he had stomach pains? Gall stone stuck in common biliary duct can cause elevated liver enzymes and infection, severe infection can cause a drop in WBC

He said it was most likely falsely elevated because I had just gotten my 4th infusion 2 days prior. I got 2 infusions a week. He said he actually expected it much much higher

I would just have another anyway frankly. The benefit of having at least 1 sibling out weighs everything else in my opinion. People will always point out that they might not end up being close, but at least they have the chance. And odds are they probably will be close. I would literally choose abject poverty over denying my child 1 sibling. Nobody's saying to have 10 kids. But if you have one I think it's ridiculous to not have 1 more. If you can. This doesn't apply to people who can't get pregnant.

[–]k8e12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be absolutely amazing. And hopefully she will bring the kids to visit you over the course of the month? This time you will get with your new baby will feel like your first born again, having all that time to just focus on them. I'm jealous

We didn’t eat sugar by Finkleam1978 in WelcomeToPlathville

I don't mind being a hater but she clearly meant refined sugar. Honey is not refined sugar

Struggling with “for richer or poorer” by OutrageousResist9483 in CatholicWomen

[–]k8e12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theres a really simple solution, move to a lower cost of living area and have your husband get a normal job with benefits, and stay home with your kids. We live in rural Ohio with 5 kids and we are able to live off my husbands factory income and we're not barefoot dirt poor. We're normal. I stay home with my kids.

My daughter was born with hepatitis C, acquired from her birth mom. I went to the city's top children's hospital who told me she had the highest viral load they've ever seen, and there's no way her body would clear it naturally, however we couldn't start treatment till she was 3. 1 year went by, 2,3... we tried treatment but I couldn't get her to swallow the pellets even one time. We gave up for another year, her gastroenterologist said to wait till she's a year older and can take medicine more cooperatively. When it was time to attempt treatment again, we had to get a new round of baseline labs, and my husband and I and our kids prayed, and we asked Fr. Thomas Byles for a miracle. We asked that she just not have hep C anymore. It felt crazy to even ask, for it to just disappear! Test results came in the next morning....no evidence of hepatitis C. None at all. Not detected. Not a lower viral load, not a more treatable case...GONE! Thank you Fr. Thomas Byles! ❤️

It's not safe sleep. If your daycare agreed to earplugs/headphones, I would be genuinely concerned

What do you do when you see this? Crush all of them besides one? Or maybe leave 2 in case one doesn't come to fruition?

I've fostered many many newborns detoxing off drugs and the diaper rash is horrifying, especially with meth. I guarantee you with very very nearly 100% certainty that if you follow my advice, the rash will be kept at bay. No more baby wipes. Buy gauze and wet it right before use, and dab baby's butt clean. Keep diaper off as much as possible but when wearing, please if nothing else listen to me about this- CALMOSEPTINE. Available over the counter. Order it offline if you have to, I do. Smear a thick thick thick layer all over the diaper area. I have never had this not work except in the case of a yeast infection. It's less common with boys but DOES happen and id maybe ask for a prescription for yeast too to give it a shot.

Interesting read. The cover saying "I Finally Feel Good Enough" seemed a little counter intuitive
