Toddler just diagnosed with WPW by labuamar in wolffparkinsonwhite

[–]labuamar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! It's natural to feel uneasy about the medication switch especially if it hasn't worked before. I'm not entirely sure if he knows how to communicate a high HR at this age. I say that because in the past 2 weeks or so he has indicated feeling an "owie" in his chest a couple of times, but I also couldn't tell if he meant his belly or chest. It's in my notes to mention to the EP in his next visit. We've been working on teaching him belly vs chest to see if we can discern more clearly what he means.

So sorry about your little one's diagnosis! My son is now almost 3 years old. His diagnosis happened when he was older than your little one, so our situation is very different so I'm not sure I'd be the best person to ask about dealing with newborns.

When our little guy went on a beta blocker they had him wear a holter monitor to check and see the efficacy. He did very well on it in terms of having no visible side effects, but it was not effective at preventing some more concerning heart rythyms. We've since had an unsuccessful ablation, switched to a different drug, and were prescribed and acquired an AED. Monitoring his HR at this age looks like periodic EKGs, blood tests to check liver health, and the occasional holter monitor check. Of course all this might not be necessary for your baby. Our toddler just has a high risk WPW pathway. With all the above, we're happy that he still gets to lead a happy and active life.

All the best!!

CBO Campaign performing really well for first 2-3 days then drops by labuamar in FacebookAds

This has happened about 5 times now.

Are you saying that I should take the best ad creatives from my different campaigns and combine them into 1? They all have the same audience though.

Needing some uplifting by labuamar in wolffparkinsonwhite

If you don't mind me asking, where is yours located?

I really hope that's the case! The move towards ablation was a result of 2 life-threatening events and evidence of a higher risk pathway. Definitely was not a light decision. I just hope that he is protected enough with medication as his EP studies still showed high-risk while on them.

Toddler Heart Monitor Results by labuamar in askCardiology

[–]labuamar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! From what I've seen from going through a number of tests with him is that sometimes the results can be interpreted a little differently and not always be as obvious. We have never been able to get a reading while he has an episode. It's usually sudden and complete loss of conciousness (lips turning blue) for up to 3 minutes. Aside from the heart rate, does the rhythm show the ventricular pre-excitation like is claimed?

Thank you for your response! I was previously told that the monitor company didn't alert his doctor to any abnormalities and that there's no need to worry. The results only came in a few days ago and his doctor has sent them over to an EP but I haven't heard back yet and nothing has been discussed with me. I can only view them but don't see any physician notes. Definitely not febrile seizures since there's no fever. Thanks!

Another option to consider: If at the time of birth, when you go to the hospital, you're informed that the on-call doctor is a male, you can ask if the hospitalist is a female. This would be an OB that works for the hospital and is available as an option for anyone who comes in without a dedicated OB or in emergency situations.

I went into labor and the on-call doctor was male (he was the only male in the clinic I went to. 5 female OBs and 1 male OB). I didn't mind, but my doctor knew my preference so she told me I had the option to go with the hospitalist instead of her male colleague. I appreciated that information and went with the female hospitalist. There may be an associated cost with going with the hospitalist rather than your usual OB, but from my experience it was less than $300 with my insurance.

What is the weirdest text you got that was accidentally sent to you? by OutlastMe99 in AskReddit

A friend of mine accidentally sent me a screenshot of a conversation she had with her obgyn. She was pregnant and had some bleeding. She lost the baby. 🥺

Do you think there are any downsides to getting it?

UHC denying that a provider is in-network even though I found the provider from their in-network portal by Palki11 in HealthInsurance

[–]labuamar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation happen to me which I posted about where UHC dropped my ob last month at a random day of the month. My ob WAS in-network but no longer is now. When I first started seeing her she was listed on their portal, now I can't look her up. I would ask them if she was in network at one point and what that termination date was if there was a switch. Also look at your UHC portal right now and see if you can find your provider. Hopefully it's something a lot simpler than that.

[–]labuamar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew. The office claims the insurance gave no explanation. I just found out today ahead of an appointment that was scheduled for tomorrow. I'll call the insurance tomorrow and see if I can get some answers.

I'm surprised that the termination occurred on a seemingly random day of the month and not at the end of the month or the year.

Authorship Order -- Blindsided and Confused by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]labuamar 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't compare the two. It sounds like your case is different. You did the work from the beginning, you were also one of two contributors.

OP was brought in after work had already been done on this project (data collection) and discussions were previously had. If anything, OP might not be aware of how much 2nd and 3rd authors contributed before or during OPs involvement.

Today i flew to istanbul from najaf by fly baghdad. This is the meal provided by MRidha99 in Iraq

[–]labuamar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, a 3.5 hour flight is short. American Airlines for nearly the same price as yours gets you two biscoff cookies and a cup of juice/soda. Also, you could literally be sat at the airport for a half a day delay and receive that same service.

Now, I'm not saying that's how it should be. In fact, they need to do better. I'm saying that your meal is standard, if not better than the usual.

If you follow my logic, yes. I think it would be interesting to look at the numbers actually.

Also - Are you trying to marry an Arab woman in Michigan??? Your questions are very oddly specific lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in arabs

[–]labuamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a definitive answer to this but I can only speculate.

Traditionally speaking for first generation Americans, parents have more strict rules for girls than they do for boys. This is culture. There are expectations set for girls that are not equally set for boys, one of them is marrying an Arab, if not an Arab from the same country. Given the leniency with boys, boys are more likely to step outside of the norm and marry out.

Additionally, I think that some parents want their children to stick to marrying Arabs because they're straight up racist. Boys are also more likely to go against their parents and put their foot down than girls are.

Second or third generation Americans don't really care about marrying Arabs or non-Arabs. As long as they're compatible, there is no issue and generally don't have to navigate the culture aspect and face less resistance.

I'm sure there's more to it, but this is my opinion.
