Avatar f tn Does any one else have ungrateful and lazy older children? It is hard on my pregnancy with stress. My kids do not care how stressed they make me or how much I have to do to clean up after them. All I hear is I want this or that and dinner was not what I want so throw it away and make us each something different. I have one with a birthday in a week and two with birthdays in December.
Avatar f tn There can be honest disagreement among experts about the management of RML atelectasis, bronchiectasis and recurrent pneumonia, despite appropriate, intense medical treatment, in young children with a normal immune system. There is general agreement, however that, when localized bronchiectasis, especially of the RML, becomes refractory, more severe or resistant to medical management, lobar resection may be warranted.
Avatar m tn I asked my doctor if I could get the pneumonia shot this year since I struggled so much last year with my second bout of Pneumonia. He said I should only get the shot if I am 65 years old or diabetic. I do not want to struggle this year like I did last year. Am I too young? Am I not eligible? Is it a health risk for me to get this shot?
Avatar m tn He did test positive for pneumonia in March, and the second set of x-rays (after 10 days of treatment ) showed that the pneumonia was still present but improving. Besides a low grade fever he tends to get a rash that covers his entire stomach, back, neck and parts of his arms and legs. He also has broken blood vessels that are all over his neck- appearing and then going away.
Avatar m tn Both my 6 and 8 yr old children were just diagnosed with bronchomalacia yesterday after undergoing elective bronchoscopy's. everything I have read says this condition is usually outgrown by 3 yrs or so. They were currently being treated for asthma both starting at the onset of age 2 after terrible coughing attacks. We decided to do the bronch's because their asthma was just not improving. When they are healthy they are fine. No activity restrictions etc.
16362296 tn?1447294076 t been able to find much information or support as no one seems to have any understanding of what it is like dealing with. It expresses itself differently than in adults (though in some ways similar). We have been lucky to now have a service dog for him which has changed a lot of his life. Anyone out there going through this with their little one as well?
5624774 tn?1374284525 Hi everyone. I have 2 questions. I posted this in the breastfeeding forum too but since it doesn't get a lot of traffic, i thought id try here too. Ok so for question one, I am exclusively pumping and on top of feeding my youngest daughter, i have about 2000 oz in the freezer. I also have a 3.5 year old daughter who i stopped breastfeeding (also only pumped) at 1 year.
1039620 tn?1272594004 I am just curious how many of you ladies are having/had your older children in the delivery room while you gave birth. My son is only 3 1/2 and will not be there for the actual delivery, but will be for the early part of labor. He cannot stand to see me in pain so I won't be putting him through that. I know it depends on the age and the child itself, if they could handle it, but I am just wondering what other people have/had done or if you are considering it or not.
1194973 tn?1385503904 t speak from experience as a mother, but I have always wanted my children to be close in age. I am from a family of 5 and my older sister is only 11 months older. We have a very close relationship, while my relationship with my other sister who is 6 years older is very distant. I mean we get along and all, but it's nothing like that of my other sister.
Avatar f tn I know that eating disorders is being more and more recognized as not just being an issue for teens and young women as I have read more and more about it and my therapist says it is so very common in the older population as well. The only thing I can tell you is that your not alone and please seek some help. Your therapist can keep the fact that your seeking help for that issue very private. I am in help right now for several things but the eating disorder is certainly 1 of them.
Avatar m tn Just a quick question lol. Im 15 and sometimes in my life i get hit where it hurts the most lol. and i was wondering when im older if im able to have kids cause i hear ppl say if you get hit to much you cant. i wanted to see if that was true or not but every now and then ill get hit so i wondered if it was true.
Avatar m tn These complications can include dehydration, ear or sinus infections, and bacterial or viral pneumonia, which can fill the air sacs in the lungs with pus or fluid, making it difficult to breathe and depriving older patients of adequate oxygen. In some cases, pneumonia may be asymptomatic, but it is still contagious if it results from a bacterial or viral infection.
Avatar f tn They actually say younger cold ten take it much better than older children. Older kids usually get scared because they don't know what is going on. I think if you want to have your kids with you that is fine but make sure you have someone to watch them and take them out of the room if you or them become uncomfortable.
Avatar f tn It does feel really overwhelming at first, but it all works itself out. Age of the older sibling plays a role too, older they are the less they constantly need your help. When my second was born my first was 18 months old.
Avatar f tn I'm being seeing this guys for over a year. his in his 40th, I'm a younger woman, with kids. He has no kids, nor have he ever being marriage, I'm starting to think he has committment issue, It seem like ever time he gets close to me, he'll pull away from, I know as a COP his committed to his jobs, but it has to be more to life than just being a COP. I know he cares about me & my kids. But I don't understand him being hot one moment, than cold the next.
Avatar f tn So I have two other kids besides the one I am baking. I am only 6 weeks along. My other children have become overly clingy the past few weeks.they are 4 & 2. Normally they are very independent and never like to cuddle or get hugs. I can not get them off my lap. Every time I sit, they are both on me almost immediately or hanging on my legs when I walk. I love the attention but I am start in to get scared they are going to trip me eventually. Anyone else notice this with their older kids?
Avatar f tn Many ladies in their 40's had their first baby and did great. Since this is your 3rd pregnancy you are at advantage already. Congratulations on your pregnancy and enjoy the expetrience!
Avatar f tn This is not a question but a comment (forgive me, I am new to this forum.) I tried to comment on this, but it keeps taking me to the question section. For the person whose uncle was diagnosed at 73 with Cystic Fibrosis: believe it, and help him buy a juicer. He has a mild case and different mutation (may not have even been documented yet.) Carrot/orange or carrot/apple at least twice a day and he will be ok, with the strong antibiotics that are now available.
