So sorry to hear about your "D" troubles! My 3yo DS has the opposite problem and is now on a Rx laxative to help correct it. The first few days, it worked REALLY well and I spent all of my time either in the bathroom with him or in the laundry room... so his MD agreed with me that we should cut the dose in 1/2. He is doing better, but still isn't regularly regular! We get to go to the MD again next week! oh... boy... Can you hear the excitement in my typing?? Hopefully your DD will be feeling better soon!


I found children's amodem AD.... and it has seemed to work... but in the mornings is when she is the worst and by afternoon she is fine... and she really hasn't eaten anything today.. other than crackers and toast and an apple.... I am hoping that helps her other wise I am calling the Doc tomorrow....

B.R.A.T. diet usually helps...
 
For those that don't know:

B-banana
R-Rice
A-apple
T-toast

The BRAT diet for kids that are having problems keeping food down or the squirts.
 
We have done apples and bananas and toast... I guess I need to do the rice part of it.... I have heard of it before... I could not remember it for the life of me.

Is DD feeling any better today? Is she seeing less of the bathroom yet?
 
She seems to be feeling better.... and is so far ( knock on wood) staying out of the bathroom....... Though she did fall asleep at 530pm last night and woke up at 6am this morning so I dont' know if that is a good sign or not.
 
Katie- I just noticed that you put your Star date in your siggy like people put their promotion date. :D

That's a total post slut move!

I'd say that sleeping 12+ hours was good! It means her body was trying to recuperate (sp?) and hopefully she is on the mend.
 
Katie, I'll make sure you get your Stripper Star Ribbon at the Meet 'n' Greet.

How's this for silly? I thought that since the stars are how we "promote" here, we should have ribbons on our buttons, like the ribbons we get at conference. So I'm printing some up and bringing them to Chicago (with some sticky tape), so we can have "recognition" at the bar. :D

Silly? You? No! Oh, wait, that wasn't about you personally. Nevermind...

I think that is a GREAT idea... espeically for those of us that won't have many PC ribbons... we need to feel special, too.

When I called yesterday to let them know she would be out for the rest of the week.. apparently she is not the only one out with the same stuff..... it seems to be a little bug going around.

I have a very funny picture of my Director, um.... posing.... with the long pillows they have on the beds in the Hilton. I'm not allowed to show it to her DH. :DSo, your husband might need to worry. :)
