Hi Sillies!

This weekend has been nuts!

We had Landen on Friday night and everything was ok. He came at 6 and was doing well until 7:20...when all of a sudden he started screaming bloody murder and nothing would stop. We could not console him at all....I was so scared because I could not understand what was going on. When it lasted over 45 minutes I called his mom who came home and he did stop....didnt have a fever but he seemed awful lathergic. I felt bad she had to come home from work...well later that night she called, he had a temp of 101.3.

Anyway yesterday I went to my moms, didnt see Patti on the way. I had to make 3 stops along the way due to cramps and "D" I am blaming it on the previous nights events. I did have a great time with my mom.

Last night John and I were supposed to meet Jen and Landen at Wegmans. Well Landen had been good in the morning but in the afternoon once again he was not himself. When it was time to go to Wegmans Landen broke into another screaming fit. He screams like he was in pain. It was 7:30. So they never got to meet them at the store. When we got home Jen said she thinks he is changing his bedtime schedule to an earlier time. During his crying fit she put him in his crib and he went right to bed.

This morning I got a message from her, he was up screaming all night.....We didnt hear him but still....She says it is a low fever but everything else is fine. They come upstairs to see us. He seems happy to see me but within minutes we are screaming....I think I found the answer!

Teething! John had suggested it but neither of us saw anything in the gums to support it. Well, he does have all the other symptoms....runny nose, slight cough, small fever.....I gave him a popsicle and he was very happy with it....so we googled it and found that he matched that to a T. Some babies gum never show evidence of teething until the teeth pop through....

So after my meltdown on Friday where I told John I did not want kids....because I didnt think I could ever help them and I was scared....well I helped Jen this morning....but what a nutsy weekend.

How is everyone else?

I used to tutor it - what class are you taking?

Stuck on anything? Lemme at it!! :) :)

Hmmm got a surprise call from Dorene - she's the one who credits/blames me for her becoming a HUGE basketball fan, starting when we went out ~1990.

Maybe not such a surprise since I did call yesterday, but only to see about meeting for coffee since I was going anyway. And only got to leave a msg.

Shocked however, when we hung up that we'd been talking for AN HOUR!!! :blink:

I never used to be on the ph for much more than 10min, and usually less.

Another reminder of how much things have changed . .. ..

Hi, Erica! Welcome back! Well......not the best news, here....I'm afraid we simply cannot catch you up. So, along with that heinous math homework tonight, you've also got about 400 pages of Sillyville to get through. Um, there is a re-entry test, ya see....... :rolleyes::lol:

Well... it's 8:30pm and I'm beginning to feel like myself again. And I don't normally GET hangovers, like, ever. :lol: Oh man... What a party...

Yes, I am younger than my 30 year old friend... by exactly one month. :D Her b-day is April 8th, mine is May 8th. Kinda like the younger twin calling the older one "Grandma."

Amanda... Landen's symptoms also really sounded like an ear infection to me. Poor baby. Keep us updated!

Gawd... I take it back, I still don't feel good.

Yes, Amanda.....poor Landen, and poor you! That was a good trial by fire...you lived through that, you can be a parent. And you two should so obviously be parents--hurry up and get pregnant, Amanda! We need to talk about barfing, getting fat, being emotional...but wait...we already do that. Regularly. So you can take your time... :lol:

We are not functioning within a democracy, so things will always be somewhat complex. We're not in a true monarchy, either. You are not born into your position, you fall into it by hitting the right post number. It's a postocracy. We need to PM Scott, and have him judge who is the royal ruler for these 100 pages. I'm sure he has never dealt with this kind of repercussion from intervening in a thread.

Now, I am certain that Scott believes me to be out of my mind, so I'd best not be addressing him on this. Anyone?

Yes, a situation for which we have no precedent to look to. I think I may have had something to say either involving a figurehead or a puppet government or maybe a lame duck but I'm feeling very sleepy this evening and my brain is already half asleep. ^_^

Guess what I did yesterday evening! Ryan and I drank hot chocolate and played Scrabble and Sorry! by the light of our (gas) fireplace whilst I imagined we were at our beach house on the Cape. Who needs a house on the Cape when you have a good imagination!

Ok....after this message another turn of events took place. After my popsicle the baby slept and was peaceful the rest of this afternoon. I texted Jen on our way home from the grocery store. Jen called as I was writing the message. She got a call from work and was hassled into coming into work...by a threatening boss who flat out said she didnt care about sick kids etc. What a B-Zitch!

Jen arranged for her nurse friend to watch Landen since they had talked after Jen got the call and since it was not our regular night. Jen explained the baby was teething so he may be unhappy. The girl said it didnt matter.

Jen dropped him off and he was crying. He calmed down and Jen had to rush to work since she was told to be there by 7 or she was going to be docked for it. She had gotten the call to work at 4:45 and she had to take him 45 mins to the babysitters.

So Jen was almost to work and her friend called...and said he was screaming uncontrollably and nothing would soothe him. She then said he might be teething but she thinks something else is wrong with him. I told Jen if I was her I would have turned right around and went to pick up her baby but she was against the wall in the work situation and after missing a lot of work when he had the RSV she was in trouble. The nurse friend took his temp, rectally and it was 103. This also made her believe something else was wrong. She also told Jen if she could not get him calmed down she was taking him to the ER. The ER would not be at our hospital since this girl was too far away.

So Jen told me she would call me with any news...no word yet.

But what do you all think? My mom and I both agree something else has to be going on with this baby....its not missing his mom, or just plain teething. We watch him again on Friday night but I am scared to in a way....unless she finds out what is going on.

The nurse tonight also said he never acts like this at her house. So I know its nothing like us either. So I am just worried. What could be going on.

Time to go fold work clothes. If I dont talk to you guys tonight I'll touch base in the morning....

Ridgewalker Contributor

Amanda,

I'm betting on an ear infection. That fever is too high to be from teething, and it usually doesn't cause enough pain for as much crying and screaming as poor Landen is doing. Ear infections on the other hand, can be hideously painful. I would take him to the dr. first thing in the morning. Poor Jen! If her boss doesn't care about employees' sick kids, then she is a crappy manager. :angry: I'd be looking around for something else, if it were me.

If it is an ear infection, Tylenol will not touch the pain. He needs an anti-inflammatory, like Infant's Motrin!!! (And an antibiotic, obviously.)

Keep us updated!

Susie,

I just made a batch of those Brazillian Cheese Rolls..... They... are... heaven!!!!!!!!!!! I have a new favorite sandwich bread! They are the quickest, easiest thing ever, too! :P

Sarah-he just had antibiotics for an ear infection and during that ear infection he did not act like this at all.

My honest thoughts are he never got better from the RSV in Feb.

Erica94 Rookie

ohhh poor baby!! :( gahh... wish i could help, but i don't really have any experience ;)

Poor Jen! If her boss doesn't care about employees' sick kids, then she is a crappy manager. :angry: I'd be looking around for something else, if it were me.

i totally agree!! tell jen that Sillyville demands she find a new job w/a nicer manager :D

ok random question: does anyone have a good company or quick & easy recipe for gluten-free ravioli?? my whole family had that and garlic breadsticks tonight and i almost started crying... probably had to do with me being sick and kinda worn out, but still...

hmmm... one more thing... this extra credit, my math teacher said i had to email it to her by tomorrow morning... if i emailed more tomorrow, how early in the morning do you think i would have to email it to her for her to accept it?? answer quick please!! supposed to be in bed in ... uh... like 8 minutes -_-:ph34r:

I'd say as long as it's before she gets to her office, that should be good.

Well, one thing I can tell you is that Luke and Ezra have had a combined total of something 15 ear infections, and they NEVER acted like their ear hurt at all until the last one that Ezra had-- he woke up one morning crying, and then it turned into screaming. :blink: This was just a few months ago! Ugh, it was awful. I was shocked that that one hurt so much, when they hadn't before.

Of course, for that one, the doctor said it actually looked like swimmer's ear. I'm pretty sure it was from the fact that he dunks his head under in the bathtub. Well... he USED TO.

I don't really know much about RSV... poor baby. I'll be thinking about him tonight!!!

Gosh Poor Landon............ :(

posting tonight so i get alerts fast in the am.

Poor working moms, beeeeechy bosses, and sick babes.

Amanda sucking on the pop cycle might have helped if if was an ear infection too..........jason found sucking on something helped the ear somehow.

welcome home all travelers..........can't wait to hear all the fun details

nite all

Morning, gang!

Ugh....Poor little Landen! My DD had three or four ear infections as a baby, and I remember fits of screaming. This would be my guess, as they are so easily developed in a little one's ears. Milk seems to be very often coupled with chronic ear trouble--something maybe his mom should keep in mind if he gets many of them.... :(

Yes, a situation for which we have no precedent to look to. I think I may have had something to say either involving a figurehead or a puppet government or maybe a lame duck but I'm feeling very sleepy this evening and my brain is already half asleep. ^_^

All right, who's PMed Scott?

Alex.....Lame duck? :lol:

Great 80th at my mom's yesterday. She walked around with her bib on, got some ice cream cake on it...so we'll be seeing how it washes! :rolleyes:

Morning Everyone!

No word on Landen yet so hopefully he is good. Jen would have gotten out of work at 7:30 so if all went well she would be on her way to the sitters as we speak. I'll keep everyone posted.

Happy Monday everyone, I am so tired all I want to do is crawl back into bed. I am sitting here and I can feel my eyes drooping....we should get nap time at work!

Update

Jen just called. The baby screamed all last night for the sitter. So she called the Dr. They will not give her an appointment with the Dr since he has not been sick long enough. They told her she needs to bleach her entire house top to bottom. She is going to try to grab a 2nd opinion now so hopefully she gets somewhere. They always say a mothers instinct and she says she herself feels like something else is going on.

They also told her there is no way he could have an ear infection either since just finished his antibiotics a week ago....my thoughts on that is yes he can, sometimes certain antibiotics do not work for certain people....

What is wrong with the world?

What is wrong with the world? WHO THE HECK KNOWS.???????????????????????

Gosh amanda........this is just awful

disinfect the whole house with bleach............good lord.

Great 80th at my mom's yesterday. She walked around with her bib on, got some ice cream cake on it...so we'll be seeing how it washes! :rolleyes:

Glad you had a nice time and your mom had fun with her new bib :D

I'm back!!!!! B)

Had a great time--my dad was truly surprised. He is a very quiet gentleman, and true to form, after we all yelled "Surprise" upon his arrival--he calmly turned to me and said--"everyone's here." :rolleyes::lol:

Twas a bit dicey the first hour or so of the drive up--felt some creeping panic but was able to breathe out of it eventually. Amanda--I did look for you--we probably just missed each other. I'm so sorry about poor little Landon.

It was so nice to see everyone--can't remember the last time I laughed so much! When we got into town, we drove by the church we were married in--it was 33 years to the day and almost (by the time we got there) to the hour! Pretty cool....it looked exactly the same :)

I pooped on late last night when we got home--needed my Sillie fix--but was tired so I didn't post. I think there were like 3 or 4 pages to catch up on :P

It's SO good to be home :D

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Can you please share your research about MMA acrylic containing gluten?   I comin up blank about it containing gluten.  Thanks in Advance,  Tom
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
