esavvymom said:Ashley- my youngest had something with the throwing up too- when he was 3-ish. For 6 months, it was like clockwork- every 3 weeks, he'd get a fever, and throw up for a day. Then after 2-3 days, he'd be fine. EVERY 3 weeks. Then that summer, we all had strep and they kids basically had the Strep infection in their FINGERNAILS (weird)....so we were all on some pretty strong antibiotics. The throwing up stopped after that!! I had asked the doctor then about it, and he said it was definitely not normal, bring him in if he continues after these ABs. So I never found out what it was, but hopefully, the ABs your little one is on- maybe they will do the trick with whatever bug ails him.
I was whining yesterday. But having a good day today! I'm blessed more than I deserve.
AshleyAllison said:So strange! The pediatric Gastroenterologist discovered that he was extremely "backed up" and that is what is causing all of the vomitting. Her first concern was obviously getting his bowels clear but the most important thing is figuring out WHY he's so backed up to begin with. Through the bloodwork they also found out he's anemic on top of his kidneys not functioning correctly. The kid isn't even 2 yet, he had his first ear infection at 7 months and it lasted 3.5 weeks. When it was clear we had tubes put in. They stopped working 4-5 months after they were put in and he had an ear infection every single month from July of 11 to March of this year except for November. He was constantly running a fever and just plain miserable. Thankfully we switched ENT's and the second one found his adenoids to be the issue as well as the tubes, they had clogged up & one was actually adhered to his ear drum which obviously didn't allow them to drain. A month before his surgery is when the vomitting started & has continued since then.
Poor dude doesn't get a break. My husband laughs when I say I haven't had a decent nights sleep since January but I seriously haven't. I'm exhausted in every way possible and I don't even think I know which way is up anymore.

flemings99 said:Both of my kids struggle with constipation from time to time. Our doc. has them on a regular adult dose of mirlax. We mix it in their milk, but it recommends oj. You have to keep them on it several days, even after they start going. It just softens it so they can go and doesn't cause stomach pain. It's very painful to be backed up and can cause the vomiting. The food doesn't have anywhere else to go but back up. We've had x-rays done before to diagnose.
Hugs---we've been dealing with tons of medical issues with our 9 yr. old. Maybe we'll both get a good nights sleep tonight.
esavvymom said:I can give you a whole-wheat bread recipe that might help take care of that! (Seriously!) My friend's kids had the same problems when he was younger. She had to give him stuff to help him go to the bathroom. I gave her my recipe, and made a few loaves. It works like a charm for ANYONE who needs a little help (I grind my own wheat- so it's WHOLE grain and full of fiber and I add Flax & oatmeal to it, plus tastes really good, especially with honey or jam).

esavvymom said:Ok. now I have a "whine". NOTHING Like the other two though....
I am trying to find a "pig cooker" to rent for our Cub Scout Campout. they make cooking for 150 people so much easier....especially if we are "roughing it" with a tent-kitchen-city, etc. We can cook on it, but also keep lots of food WARM on it while cooking it.
Anyway- thought I had a place, but when I asked if the trailer had a spare tire- "just in case!", they asked where we were going. We're going about 1.5 hrs from here. Yeah- we can't use their grill because the trailers aren't big enough for long-haul driving. UGGH. So we either change the menu (BBQ chicken was the main dinner) and make due, or pay an extra $200 for another place who uses real TRAILERs for their cookers.
Ok..that's my complaint for the day.
Oh- and I just called my hosts to close a show and found out that one lady who was wanting to order more Simple Additions plates- was looking for the DOTS. Oops. She broke some others and wanted replacements.

Thankfully I have all of her product as she wanted it shipped to my place....I'm holding it hostage until I can collect payment - in cash!
Brenda.the.chef said:well, bad luck is supposed to run in threes right? Syrup, berries, freezer. You should be done.
Funny you mention that. I just freaking scalded my hand with steam!!!!! Appears to be just first degree, but dang it hurts. I have it in water as i type.Brenda.the.chef said:unless you're onto a second set of threes.... I hope not!
