Poor Little Zoey

Ursa Major

Yesterday my daughter and son-in-law took Zoey for her x-ray and they were so hopeful that her cast would come off (for anybody who didn't read my first topic on this- she broke her femur four weeks ago and is in a cast that goes from her left ankle right up to her ribcage, so she can only lie flat). It was their fourth wedding anniversary yesterday, too.

Anyway, the doctor looked at the x-ray and told them that it isn't nearly healed, and she needs the cast for another three weeks. When then they tried to book another appointment for in three weeks, they were told that doctor would be on holiday then, and they had to book it for in four weeks.

They asked if they could see another doctor, so Zoey could have her cast off in three weeks, but were told that wasn't possible. That makes me angry! There is a poor baby in this heat in that big cast, and they can't accommodate them somehow? Don't they have a heart?

The doctor said if he would take the cast off now, it would break again if only she would roll over in bed the wrong way. It doesn't seem fair.

But through all this, Zoey is incredibly cheerful, it is amazing. She is also getting very patient with her colouring. A month ago she was scribbling all over the place when colouring, like all two-year-olds. Now she won't leave a single speck white, and completely colours in the lines! I've NEVER seen a child her age (25 months old) colour in the lines before.

Oh well, I guess the next four weeks will pass soon enough, the first four weeks went by quickly.

Ohh, the poor, sweet baby! This is the age where they really get into playing outside, and the poor thing is going to miss 1/2 of her summer. :(

I agree, I've never seen a child that age be able to focus enough to color like that! She's going to be a smart cookie. ;)

Yes, she got a swing set with slide for her birthday (it is for her baby sister as well) from her parents and both sets of grandparents. She loved it so much, she would get up from her nap in the afternoon, run straight for the back door and say, "Go outside, slide?" And then wear herself out completely by climbing up and sliding down for hours!

She got to enjoy her new swing set for three days before she broke her leg. :(

And the weekend after this next one they are going to the cottage on Lake Erie (near Owen Sound) and she won't even be able to play on the beach and go into the water! But her other grandparents and aunts and uncles and a great-grandmother will be there to entertain her and take her for walks in her wagon. She'll get lots of attention and love from everybody, and I'm sure she'll enjoy that.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
