ggandlee I'm prettiy sure that we've been to the er once or twice and DR's thought I was exaggerating how often dd has fevers. I always felt like I was being judged because they thought I wasn't being honest.
Eta totally not saying you are judging anyone or that they aren't lying just saying I've been on the other side.
I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I think that most ED physicians are pretty good about weeding through the crap to differentiate the legitimate patients, so hopefully they did believe you. I feel like a lot of what I do is tease out details from vague parents about their kids symptoms. A kid that has truly vomited after every single attempt to drink liquids for two days is very different from a kid that has vomited two times a day for two days. Teasing out these details is important and can change the management. It is really annoying when people try to tell me or the resident things that are false and exaggerated. It can cause lots of problems, lead to unnecessary tests and radiation exposure, painful and invasive procedures, and higher costs, not to mention waste everyone's time. It can go the other way too though. Some parents are clueless and downplay or minimize their kid's symptoms. Thankfully, with lots of practice, I've gotten pretty good about spotting the bullshitters and telling them apart from the honest and appropriate people.
I have SUPER oily skin like it drips off my face. The only thing that ever worked for me was Estée Lauder double Matte. Not too bad, I think 50$ a jar but girl, my face isn't dripping off no more.
Good to know! Do they make it in a white out color? I'm super pale. Like I should probably wear clown make up.
You are not that pale! You live in TX, go outside for 20 minutes and you'd probably get a nice tan.

When I picked up Cadence from dc her teacher said she is starting to "show her true colors". This included throwing herself on the floor when they walked to the soft motor room rather than riding the buggy, refusing to sit at the door when all the other children were sitting at the door waiting to leave the room, as well as just throwing tantrums for no reason whatsoever and then look around smiling mid-tantrum to see if anyone was watching. Yay.
ggandlee once dd got her diagnosis I take the records with me everywhere just in case so if we need to take her in I have documents showing what she has.
Im sure its really hard to treat and work effectively if people are not being honest. Does it bother you more when they downplay illness? I feel like that must be so aggravating
When a child has a chronic and particularly with a rare diagnosis such as C, I think its a great idea to keep paperwork handy to help give the providers an idea of what they are working with. Most of the time when people downplay things, I don't think they do it intentionally, although it does happen occasionally because they don't want to be inconvenienced and have to stay any longer.

I don't have snap chat or instagram...maybe I should look into this. 5 people have work have been diagnosed with measles. A couple of them were vaccinated...Now I am going to find out if I had any contact with them. I have been vaccinated but I'm always nervous because during my pregnancy my immunity to it disappeared and I had to get a shot right after LO was born.
I was about to ask where you work. D'oh.
I was going to go next Thursday, but I think that's out for the time being.
trtlcrzy ha ha ha. You're right, but my dad was diagnosed with melanoma in 1994. I've stayed out of the sun ever since then. Every 3 months he goes in for a check & they always remove some sort or skin cancer. I'd rather blind people when I wear shorts than have craters all over my body.
Well I don't want you to get cancer so wear sunscreen and a hat! I don't have much room to talk cause I'm pretty dang pale myself.
I have nursed Hannah to sleep since the day she was born. I've finally decided to sleep train her so she can fall asleep on her own. She does it at daycare no problems so I feel like this shouldn't be that difficult. I nursed her for an hour without her falling asleep and that's what prompted this. She cried for a little bit but has just been laying in her crib babbling to herself for the last 1/2 hour. How long should I let her do this for? I know she's tired cause she was yawning and rubbing her eyes so I don't know why she won't fall asleep.

We can all be the color of mayonnaise together.
Mission rock A to sleep in a one armed rocking chair didn't go that well. It's not just the arm; I could feel the seat starting to fall apart also. I was able to get him to bed but it was awkward and that chair is a goner. A is about 30 pounds, and I'm 5'6" and 30 pounds overweight. The weight limit is 190, so you can do the math. Now I need to decide if we should buy another one tomorrow or if it's time to stop rocking my dude.
Sorry cagoldi. I would probably go out and buy a new one myself for "just in case". But if you're looking for a good reason to stop rocking this would be it. Good luck with whatever you decide.
trtlcrzy As long as she isn't crying, I wouldn't go in there. She'll eventually fall asleep.
Apparently my post was enough to make her fall asleep, cause she's sleeping now. Lol. But she fell asleep like this, should I go take the blanket off her face? It's and A+A security blanket.
I'm white. Like white white. I don't care who I blind any more because cancer is scarier.
It is hard living around all these perfectly golden Mexicans though. Lol.
I'm really fair, too. I can tan pretty easily, but I try not to. It's hard living in FL, where everyone is a lovely golden color year-round. I just remind myself to look at the 50 year-olds that look 80 due to sun damage when I start to lament my paleness.
Ironically, I have psoriasis, and my dermatologist tells me his psoriasis patients are the ONLY patients he advises to spend (limited) time in the sun. The vitamin D helps, apparently.
Blanket over the face was causing too much anxiety so I went and removed it from her face. I didn't wake her up so it's a win! I hope she sleeps all night, but my luck she'll be up at 12:30 again tonight. I was NOT very nice to my DH last night when she woke up.

I would move the blanket... Autumn likes to fall asleep with this Cochet knitted blanket over her face, it drives me nuts because I can't relax if it's like that.. I would ninja crawl in there and fix it. But that's just me
@surelycantbesrs Hannah is a boob addict. She reverse cycled so bad because she missed them so much. I wish she wasn't as attached to them as she is. I have a feeling that she'd be nursing still at 3 if I let her, which I won't. I'm planning on weaning her in the next couple of months because I don't want to be nursing still when I get pregnant. Aside from nursing she doesn't like to be held.
I'm a bit jealous of all those who have been able to rock/nurse to sleep for so long. Cass quit letting me hold her like that before 6 months.
This... Today while trying to get her down she kept picking my hand up and moving it away from her. Gives me all the sads because I just want to cuddle
