I can't bear to write this, but--Noah died earlier today. The funeral will be on Sunday.

If anybody has any advice what I can say to his parents that might actually be comforting, please let me know....

I am so sorry. I have been thinking of you all a lot the last few days and will continue to pray for all of you that you will find some comfort and peace.

It will be hard to comfort his parents. It is hard to know what to say or do but the most helpful thing I found during times of loss was when people just gave me a hug, told me how much they would miss them also and cried a bit with me.

:( I totally agree. I think that a hug, tears, and being sincere are the only thing that you can do for the family right now. Maybe later you could do something for Noah's school, the hospital, etc in memory of him.

How is your son doing? Such a young, tender age to have to deal with death. I'm so sorry for Noah's family and his young friends. I will be holding you all in my prayers!

I am so sorry, noah and his family will be in my prayers.

Just hug them and be there for them, and dont forget about them. They will need you more in a couple of weeks after all the numbness goes away.

Oh Alison, I am so sorry. I think in a situation like this, there really are no words....I would just be there for the family, hug and cry with them. Take cues about what may be needed from them.

I will be thinking of you all on Sunday.

If you have any pictures of Noah, it would be nice to give the family. It will help them remember Noah's life, not the last few weeks.

Tell them that you are here for them and that you care.

My friend is fighting for her life right now in U of M. Bacterial infections have lead to sepsis, organ failure, surgical removal of the dead infected skin, and the amputations of both legs from the kneecaps and her hands. I really don't know what to pray for in this situation. She is in her thirties, has two children - the youngest is 2, and a husband.

Oh, mommida, I'm so sorry. Can you post your friend's first name so we can put a name with our prayers for her?

Everyone, thank you so much for your support and advice. My #2 son is very, very upset, understandably. We are all sad. And no, we don't have a picture to remember him by, and I don't have the heart to ask his parents for one. I was thinking of asking the Sunday School teacher if she has one she can copy for the whole class.

Christina Rogers.

They decided not to take her knee caps during the last surgery.

The patient they had two years ago with a similar situation is doing very well. His wife called to say he was shoveling snow!!? I don't know how much amputation he had, but what Dr.s can do with prosthetics for patients is pretty amazing.

With that, I have hope.

I hope you can find a picture of him. Do you think the kids would respond better with a balloon release with their special notes? Maybe in spring you can plant a memorial tree? I will being praying for everyone who has lost Noah.

Laura, thank you for the beautiful ideas. I will pass them on.

Am sending up a prayer for your friend Christina. For what it's worth, as long as she has her arms, she can hug her children--and they can hug her....

I asked her sister to pass that thought on to her.

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      Frustrated

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
