ahh I see, sorry about the confusion lol nope the babe's mom has her family on an healthy diet no processed foods but meat and alt are in the intake, just found it all really strange lol

32 preemie that has been followed by a ped. lost weight stopped walking etc

I am still a student, but I sat in on a consult with a ped dietician the other day for a 1 yr old with failure to thrive, the little one went from 17lbs 12 oz to 17 lbs 1 oz in a short time and has shown no growth for two months, the parents eat no processed foods, main diet is fruit and veggies, The dietician recommended tube feeds, I was wondering if this was not overkill? do they usually just jump to tube feeds? the parents seemed to have a healthy diet and such I just don't really understand the whole failure to thrive thing, the kiddo looked good, not really skinny or anything and parents seemed well educated on feeding their child, so why would they drastically go for tube feeds?

I am still a student but I do get migraines very rarely and when they get out of hand ( lasting longer than 12 hours and after barfing) the best thing for me personally is fluids and gravol and if that doesn't work, a little toradol fixes it.

Add me to the pansy list lol, I think in some cases it is a good idea (if it looks like you are going to have to dig around) and sometimes there is no point (Huge hose for veins people)

I am just a student but I have been working in hospice care for three years as a nurses aid, I thought I would have a really hard time with palliative care but, I go to work with the expectation that the people who come through are doors are probably going to pass away soon, it doesn't really detatch me but it helps esp. when someone has been in the house for a longer time. Higgs said it, life is all around but we have to remember that part of living is dying and take it for what it is, and make it the best that you can for the person and their families. Take time for your self and enjoy the happy moments in the day wether that is simply that a patient of your got to see one more sunrise with their families by their side.

I am wondering if there are many camps that will allow me to bring my own children with me? they will be around the ages of 5-11.
