No, he's not. . . and he had a very non-traditional upbringing.
qualify that statement.............nontraditional upbringing.
like you guys were't raised like the gyspies were or anything like that....
Hey guys, checking in.
Tricia - glad to see you on here. Sending you lots of
from West Virginia.
Catch you later. Off to watch Amazing Race tonight.
-Jennifer
where are we off to tomorrow jennifer?
will it be the hilton, the hampton or the super 8?
super 8 has a nice breakfast spread...
I have to call first thing in the morning to find out the time. The doctor at the hospital told me that she had called my regular doctor to let him know what was going on and that they made me an appointment for Monday, but I went through all the paperwork they didn't list a time. If he told me what the time was when we were talking, I don't remember it now. 
I've been doing a little research online about seizures, so I have LOTS of questions and, yes, I'll be taking LOTS of notes.
My biggest question is if my regular doctor feels like he needs to refer us out to a pediatrician. Our regular doctor is a family practictioner and he is GREAT. However, he is Army Reserve and will be deployed to Iraq next month for a 6 month tour of duty. His partner in the practice is Mr. Broomstick-for-a-Personality... the guy that threw pills at me when I was having my last tummy pains? Yeah, him. Anyway, I'm going to look my doctor in the eye and ask if he needs to send us to someone else to manage Joshua's condition. He's a good guy. He'll send me elsewhere if he needs to.
get joshua a pediatrician.
they specialize and can be more helpful than a family practictoner.
little people react different ways to meds and you need the experience of the child specialist.
do a google search for pediatricians in your area.
see if they are board certified.
call then and ask the office manager what percentage of his clientel he works with deals with the neuro system.
when i moved out of the city/chicago, i switched to a family physician in the small town i live in.
worse mistake.
son ended up in the hospital at age 11 months and i had to threaten with a lawyer.
went back to using a pediatrician for the boys until they were 16.
chose one doctor that had a practice with partners about 30 minutes away.
the family doc didn't read the charts correctly and give an accurate diagnosis. he was used to big people diagnosis.
keep in touch.
we want to hear what happens tomorrow.
oh vey........i sound like i'm back at giving gemma lectures.......
btw, where is that girl?
YES!!!!!!
THE GIANTS BEAT DALLAS!!!!!!
Thank you to the man upstairs
i watched that game.
you know if the cowboys would have won, greenbay would lose next week playing them.
gb will have weather about 10 degrees next sunday and they play fine in that type of temps.
gb has never done well in dallas.
it should be a good game to watch.
It's good to be seen on here!
Thanks for the hugs. I'm just trying to keep things as normal around here as possible. I try to keep an eye on Joshua without making it obvious that I'm keeping an eye on Joshua, if you know what I mean.
He's looked at me twice today when I was watching him play and said, "What?"
Ooops. Got caught staring. I've gotta get better at it. 
learn the trade now so when he is a teen, you won't get caught.......
Oh bummer. What is good news for Penny is very bad news for Mr. Jodie. Now, I have to put up with him for the rest of the night! 
Hi Tricia, glad to "see" you on here again. Been thinking about you, and hope you get the answers you seek and help Joshua needs. Keep us posted. 
Ugg, so, I get my tooth bonded on Friday, right? And she decides to bond my snaggle tooth as well because she said my old dentist was just lazy. It's been a problem for years. I finally get it fixed, and it barely lasts 48 hours ($112 for me, and $765 billed to insurance, yikes.). So, now I need to call her in the morning, and let her know that her work didn't hold up and I didn't even eat anything hard at all!
snaggle, what happened at the dentist???
you didn't tell us about the other tooth.......
i have had to have rebonding done before.
i was told my tooth was not dry enough the first time so it did not hold up.
i just love the excuses docs give.
refuse to pay for the visit.
she should have done it right the first time.
tell her i said that too.....
That's good thinking, and when we would go from Friday to Friday, we did that as well. Now that we go Fri to Sunday, I "budget" the extra day when I figure out my vacation time for the year. At the Post Office, if we work a holiday, we can get an extra 8 hours of vacation time added to our total, instead of the money for working the day, that's what I do, I sign up for all the Federal Holidays (except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) and always take the extra vacation time. So it all works out in the end!
do you like working for the post office? my brother works at a po and delivers mail. his son surprised him and said he was getting married after christmas. brother had a heck of a time trying to get off a week for that.
holiday time is tough time to get time off for his place.
at this point, not talking to that brother so i really don't care if he gets time off or not now.......
mike that is a great deal of getting the comp time for the holidays you work.
For whatever reason, I'm thinking 'pediatric doctor' wouldn't be such a bad thing 
what is up with THAT??? Tell her to get her sh*t together for cryin' out loud!
