I joined MDC back in 2003 (it feels like a million years ago now). I haven't been able to bring myself to even lurk in my old haunts in ages. I've tried, but I just can't do it. I'm glad to hear that the moderation is less obnoxious...

Hello ladies. I had a completely hellish day today, the sort that just screams for a toke or six to be functional (to say nothing of 'unwinding'). I don't think the most tightly-wound of straight edges would have begrudged me a toke...

That's exactly how I feel about the pediatric unit. It doesn't help that we come in and they greet us like old friends. It's a little disturbing, I have family who sees less of the baby than medical staff. :/   We're having...

Do you live in one of the states with a medical law, Tinkie?

I'm in exactly the same place with my 34 month old. He's dry most nights but when he goes we float right out of bed. I also went with the sposies (the extra-absorbent nighttime pullups, even). I don't think he's a super wetter, but...

Bear's had some vaxes, but because he was sick for most of his well baby checks he didn't get all of them. If it takes 4-5 weeks then we're still looking at three or so; Good to know! They told me that it would be 2-3 weeks, but I'm...

Bear's diet is free of wheat, diary, egg, soy, most refined sugars and food dyes. He's been diagnosed with "presumed allergies" to dairy and egg, has had one [slight] positive skin test for soy and one delayed-positive skin...

It will probably be another week or two. I did ask yesterday and they said it was listed as "pending". Based on my reading, I think a visit with an immunologist and/or a geneticist is in our near future. :/

Bear seemed to be feeling a little better earlier today, but by the time evening rolled around he was miserable again. I feel so inadequate right now. :( How do you manage? I mean I can give Bear medicine and I can carry him in the...

:( I'm glad to hear that your daughter is doing a little better than before. Do you think there's any chance that she'll outgrow this? What have her doctors said about her frequent illnesses? And yes, it's such a pain to have to worry...
