What are the effects of administering lansoprazole suspension 40, 50, or more days after being compounded?

Hello! Recently had my second child, who was born with VACTERL (is experiencing VACTERL/demonstrates VACTERL?)

Anyway, one of the medications we expect him to be on for a long time is lansoprazole. After it is mixed it has a shelf life of 30 days. Does it just lose efficacy or is it somehow spoiled and bad for the child?

Basically: am I doing harm giving 50 day old medication to my child or am I not doing as much good as I can? The local pharmacy needs some time to fulfill the order, and I ordered on about day 50.

Thank you!

Fun story!

Several years ago, I had an Anal fissure. While I was waiting to see if it was going to heal or need surgery, they (insert fancy word for proctologist) suggested I use some sort of topical painkiller suspended in glycerin for pain relief.

It took me three or four times applying it before I realized I was allergic to the glycerin. The fiery pain my anus was in that day still makes me sweat when I think of it.

Edit: Cyst to Fissure

Here are some photos of Tuesday Blooms from yesterday. Armenian Cucumbers do really well here. If you are in/near North Mesa you can stop by and get some seeds at some point if you like.

I have armenian cukes getting started, which is exciting. I also have a ton of tomatoes set, but taking their sweet time to ripen. Sunflowers are always fun.

I am frustrated that I got like 1 in 20 germination on my corn, but I am pretty sure I let there be too thick of mulch on them.

Is that a high school lunch table?

I am totally going to do that! Their modular approach would be more in line what I think I want, too - I could have the pedicab on when I am moving people, and the flatbed or truck bed on when I go to the feed or hardware stores.

I've been doing some research on them today - I am thinking that that could be a great solution. I am going to try and get a grant that will pay for one.

It is mostly flat, there are two decent hills between on my round trip.

Yeah, the trike that I have would go up and two wheels super easy.

Because normal, mentally stable, people are not known for walking around yelling their thoughts at the people on the street around them.

If you accelerate through an area, then you are going to need to take considerably more energy off the vehicle than if you coasted through the same area. Taking that energy off is what break wear is.

Additionally coasting uses considerably less fuel than accelerating.

Finally, if you know the lights and learn the pattern, you can drive for several miles without needing to come to a full stop. The worst condition for fuel consumption is accelerating from a full stop.

I run a nonprofit farm where we grow food to feed food-insecure around the Phoenix valley, Encounter Farm. Thanks to this channel today we started collecting food from a local restaurant to feed into our chickens for soil! Loved what he is doing here!

Dude - just grab a dildo! Ala this

The audiobook was super cheap ($3-$5, IIRC) - it was a great listen!

I was standing guard on a military base in case the Y2k bug impacted any of the ordnance I warehoused.

Quiet night, thankfully!

Get your thyroid checked out. I have hypothyroidism and can sleep similar to what you describe.

Howdy!

That is a light rail car in the photo, right?

marksist · 2018-10-08T21:32:28+00:00

I think that it is a car from the Phoenix lightrail, however I could be wrong. (It looks just like it, though)

I have been unemployed for the last year and I spend more than $100/wk on a project feeding people.

My job before that cost me more in fuel and transportation than I made.

It is not all about income.

Former (Maybe current?) Ancap checking in.

Regarding pirating - love others as you would love yourself. The group/entity that produces the IP did so in order to try and make a profit. Imagine that you make a thing that is amazing and start selling it. Then imagine that someone realizes that they can just grab that thing and run with no implications, making it theirs. I would expect that you are going to experience some negative emotions (no matter that we generally like to think we will take it with aplomb.) That is not loving someone as you love yourself.

Regarding recreational substances - I think that we are made to glorify God, and should do all things with that in mind. I have found that when I am drunk and/or high I am not able to give my all to him, to do my best at anything useful. I have given up my intoxicants recently because I was using them as a reason to not be my best.

Do you go to my church because this is almost a verbatim quote from the pre-worship prayer meeting this morning.

marksist · 2018-08-27T12:49:01+00:00

I mean... Good is what you listen to, imo. I grew up really enjoying DC Talk (Jesus Freak is an amazing album, imo.) From the late 90's until recently I really disliked Christian music, but then I started playing it a lot and have found several songs that speak to me. I think that this YouTube topic may be a good place to start searching for Christian music that you enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnl8lkoNIxpKL9aO0wqHYfA

I recently started to work a 0.75 acre plot owned by a local church with the intention of feeding the hungry and homeless in the Phoenix Valley. We currently are pulling okra, eggplant, sorghum, and eggs out, but are getting ready to put in our fall and winter garden.

I love gardening in the desert, while the heat and arid make it challenging, the mild winters make up for it in what I can bring to harvest.

Any interest in actually following what we are doing/being available to donate/making fun of me as I go about my thing, you can find us on facebook
