Good googly moogly gosh-I am gone for a few hours and The Dave is half naked (I even did an f5 and didn't SEE it, lol), drive by postings, everyone else asleep :blink: I am on daylight savings time too, but have insomnia quite alot.

Andrea, when do you sleep, girl! I meant to mention before, but my dh's grandmother was named Talitha. I never knew another. I love Biblical names, too.

Hey, The Dave, so, you work with Rachel? What exactly do you do? Is there a Mrs. Village Idiot? Tell us more about yourself. What are your hobbies? Do you by any chance make scrunchies or bracelets? Enquiring minds want to know, lol :P

Haha... Yea we work together. What exactly do I do....not much honestly :D No Mrs. Village Idiot, I'm not quite ready for that yet.... give it a few more years... :D Hobbies.....hmm, I recently bought a house so sometimes I do work around the house....it wasn't in the best shape (still isn't), but it's getting better. I make scrunchies by the hundreds.....j/k

Yea not too exciting.... got 2 puppies on Sunday though! Very cute...10 weeks old, brother/sister, Golden Retrievers! No pictures on the computer yet :(

How about you? Insomniac huh? where abouts are you??

Hey Robbin,

It's great to see you this late.

I usually head off sometime between 10:30 and 11:30 and don't get up until 7:30 or 8:00. Kids don't get up until between 7-8. I'm one of those that like to sleep my 8 hours. Kids names...Talitha, Micah and Seth....all bible names.

Don't I wish. He gets paid by the mile. I'm one the phone with him now. He's about 2 hours away and waiting for another truck to get loaded, then he'll be on his way home. It'll be about midnight before he gets home and then he's out the door around 5 if not earlier.

Crazy.... I couldn't cope with that much.....well.....or lack of sleep!

Speaking of Bible names, I'm one of four boys, David, Elliot, Noah and Sam.

Not really on purpose though.... go figure :rolleyes:

Pictures.....I demand pictures. Retrievers are my favorite, either golden or labrador.

I expect those up pronto. :D

Is Sam short for Samuel? Are you the oldest?

I only have one brother 5 years older. Mitch has 1 brother and 3 sisters. He's the 2nd born.

Meredith,

I see you. Hey, what time and day is it down under? It's 9:30 our time (pacific).

Hey Rachel,

You made it back from the dangerous food zone. Are you in one piece?

:) Hi Judy, I see you :) .

I am in the great state of Virginia. Near that "other president's place" ! I have a golden retriever too. Six years old, lazy as heck, BabyRuth. You do home remodeling?! A lot of us on here are Home Depot and Lowes addicts!! We have those in R'ville!! Did you not read the ENTIRE thread?! That is a requirement, btw. (only kidding, lol)

Andrea, married to a truck driver is like being married to a dr. That has to be hard. My dh is gone at 7:30 am and home at 7 pm. Long commute to DC area (50miles one way) so, I don't see much of him either. Weekends are usually busy cramming in as much family time as possible since Ds is of the age that he will not want to be seen with us next year. Almost to that now, lol.

I will be leaving on Thursday early in the morning to go visit OH so I will not be officially missing-just miserable traveling. Will be back Sunday night. I will check in, though as much as possible-I do not want to have to read 100 pages to catch up!!

So, Dave, what are the puppies' names and what color are they? I have a red golden. She looks like Duke the Bush bean dog on the commercials. We call him her boyfriend 'cause she always watches those commercials closely. She is my dog daughter. I also have a cat daughter, Chessie and a cat son, Tom J..

Oh, and I do have two sons, lol can't forget the princes :)

I also have a golden, Buddy. Dopiest dogs around. This is our third golden, wouldn't buy any other kind of dog.....

Buddie is the english style golden retriever - very light blonde. Our first and second goldens were the American style goldens (the redder kind). The reason that the english style goldens are lighter is because they were bred with Great Pyrenese waaaaay back and the reason the American style goldens are darker is they were bred with the irish setters waaaaaaay back when. At least that's what I was told......

Yea Home Depot and Lowes are my friends too.....

You have a few acronyms I don't know... dh, and ds.... It sounded like dh was your husband....or maybe..... Designated Husband.....

Kind of like a Designated Hitter or Pinch Hitter?

Puppies names....my roomate named the girl Pumpkin (they are orange/reddish), the boy I am still yet to name...thinking...haven't decided....

That's interesting Karen,

I used to have a lab/retriever mix. He was great. I gave him up to move into town many years ago. He was trained by my ex boyfriend. When we split....I got the dog. He'd done all the basic work with him so he was a really well behaved dog. The only problem was he loved to jump, pity any child that came near him. He was extremely loveable and exciteable. I'll probably never have a dog like that again, if I even get another one. Where we are now, we can't have pets; and besides the kids are too young.

We got spoiled last week....he was home for dinner 4 out of 5 nights. He's a local delivery driver, so unless they send him down to Southern Oregon he's home every night. Since he's driving maxi now, that probably won't happen. He used to be gone about 1-2 times a month. I drive on the weekends to give him a break. :P

Celbrity sigtings....did I miss something? Did she see someone last time?

I have worked at like 7 different stores and the only people I ever see are sports stars... like half the old school 49ers team....Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott's wife used to shop in Saratoga regularly....etc....I wish I got to see celebs though...how fun!

Picard lives in CT. Don't challenge me, I didn't get good grades in French and only took a year. I don't remember exact words for the most part.

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies. Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree. Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant. That may happen even with endoscopy. Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end...

      here are the lab ranges. Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
