Flonase nasal spray is such a low systemic dose that we consider it totally safe during preg. Esp in your third trimester! It is prescription though. I totally did it when I was pregnant, too...

I think it is fine at that age, but you would be checking in frequently at the beginning to see what trouble he could get into. I also think it very much depends on the kid. Mine was out in our...

Hang in there Kelly. Ask for some zofran if you get too nauseous... Be kind to yourself today!

Actually you could call the psychologist he saw and see what they recommend...

Um...I actually can't remember what dose I was on, and mine was oral. But I want to say that is a high dose. So maybe expect to be tired, nauseated, a little flu-like for a few days. I don't think it...

I took methotrexate for about 10 years. I had no side effects and didn't feel sick from it unless the dose got really high. I bet you will be ok. I am so sorry for all you are going through.

That's one for the pedi. In kids, it is strongly associated with anxiety and/or Aspergers...

Sounds pretty typical of a bunch of toddlers... Only time I ever got a call was when my kid actually needed to go to the hospital. All the rest I found out when I picked her up. Which was better for...

What Suze001 said. Also, no need to wait to see a hematologist to get some answers. Your primary doc should be able to give you some significant direction by looking at your test results tomorrow...

Want to PM me your actual results? Neutropenia is generally from a virus and goes away on its own. Can be caused by some medications. But it can also be a sign of leukemia. You can breastfeed no...

normal :)

I agree with everyone, time and maturity will work in your favor. My almost 6 year old was very much like that until about a month ago. We were having big issues with KG. Then, like a switch flipped,...

I second the 123 Magic recommendation. We have been doing that for years and it is extremely age appropriate and effective. We also tend to put items in time out, eg. If you guys keep arguing over...

I tend to deal with the kid directly if the parent isn't parenting. I figure if they knew how to handle it appropriately they already would have. So I go up to the kid, I say "We don't hit. That...

For the OP, with that level of drama you need to play hardball IMHO. My favorite strategy at that age is the duct tape strategy (not as bad as it sounds!!). Put a piece of duct tape on the floor...

What's her FT4? Thyroid antibodies? Is she symptomatic? A TSH of 3.5 is totally normal for a kid. You have to be over at least 8 or so, with a low FT4, to call it hypothyroid. Kids are different...

Thanks for updating! Glad you are going to get some answers. Sedation for MRI is really safe, will definitely be harder on you than on her. Keeping you guys in my thoughts!! Way too much to deal with...

I cross posted with Bridget. And I totally agree with what she said!!

I don't know about catering to my kid. She is a human, like the rest of the family, and she likes things her way when that is possible. So, when it is possible, I let her have her way. When it's not,...

What Suja said.

Take her back tomorrow. If your ped blows it off go to the ER at a Children's hospital if you can. There is nothing good that lasts that long. Sorry to worry you. She needs a recheck. If she has a...

camp, every week except one, all day. (we work!!) So for my kid, the schedule your kids are on would not be nearly enough. Sounds perfect for your kids though! I don't think you're crazy at all.

We are in the exact same situation. We decided to split the difference and do the first half of the summer at old place and second half at new place...

One brand of crib tents was recalled. I can't find any evidence anywhere (including from the AAP or the CPSC) that all crib tents have been recalled. I think a (safe) crib tent would be your best...

If you see the ped and they do bloodwork, you may want to ask about celiac screening in addition to the obvious thyroid, iron, blood count and metabolic screen...
