RUBY !!! thanx for your sweet email and pics. xoxox
6:02 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend. Missed you too. The holiday was a success. We enjoyed quite a bit of it, not the least the being together and camping out. And we found out that some things we don't care for anymore, so we will be thinking of how to adapt. The beds Rob made were divine!
6:02 am

((rosie))
6:03 am
grannyrose
how clever of Rob...
6:04 am
sprite
it was cruelly cold though, lol... we even had some wet snow and one night below 0 degrees C. Also, moving camp every day is too much for my body. And Rob's knees are no longer up to this much canoeing and camping. Solutions will be found, though, because we had a terrific time apart from these (minor) glitches.
6:04 am
sprite
how have you and Don been, sweetie?
6:04 am
grannyrose
my boys have once again outperformed Don's kids. it's his birthday tomorrow and my youngest, Josh, and his wife are taking us out for brunch.
6:05 am
sprite
yay for your kids. And booh on Don's children. They should be ashamed of themselves. If all goes well, Don will receive an e-card from me tomorrow. Prepared it before I went on holiday.
6:06 am
grannyrose
both of us a bit achy. weather has turned bitter. and as usual, we both are feeling it. ahhh, bless you sweetie, thanx, he will be really chuffed.
6:07 am

things are starting to happen here. we have picked up our plane tickets and our euro passes have arrived.
6:12 am
grannyrose
oh.. and fang is taking us out for dinner tomorrow. i think she is feeling it very much without her mum and sister. she has definitely become warmer.
6:13 am
sprite
miracles never cease. Whodathunk she would lose some of that coldness.
6:14 am
sprite
I hope she doesn't stop at taking you out for dinner. It would be nice if she made an effort to make Don feel appreciated, at the very least
6:15 am
grannyrose
i think don is aware of ow much she is feeling her loss. and she doesn't want to lose touch with her only remaining relative who speaks to her.
6:16 am
sprite
Don is too good for her. But it will be worth it if it means he can have some kind of pleasant relationship with her.
6:17 am
grannyrose
oh, and it is don's youngest's birthday soon. he bought a card, and a gift, then asked ME to write the card.
6:18 am

:D oh rose, we are gonna have such a splendid time. And the men can shake their heads together at our antics. They will love it.
6:25 am
grannyrose
ikr ?? i am so looking forward to the ;look on Rob's face when he realises just what a nutter i am.
6:26 am
sprite
he doesn't expect anything less, I think. He knows the kind of people I let into my heart. He himself being a fine example. *blinks innocently*
6:27 am
grannyrose
*giggling* AGAIN
6:28 am
grannyrose
not a word i would use in association with you darling girl... innocent
6:29 am
sprite
we had such fun this holiday. We can laugh at such small things together. Quite different from the other couples we were there with. They had quite a bit of irritation going. We didn't... lots of giggles though.
6:29 am
grannyrose
okay... so lovely to catch you when you are home again. i have to take my meds and turn into a mindless....you fill in the gap
6:30 am
sprite
what? where? I am sure I have NO idea what on earth you could be talking about. *repeats innocent blink, eyes wide open in between, eyebrows raised, turning head in bird-like manner*
6:30 am
grannyrose
so like don and i... we are always trying to make the other laugh. even with just a look...
6:30 am
sprite
*grins* You go and fall into that mindless chasm, sweetie. Sleep well. Give Don a warm birthday hug from me tomorrow on rising.
6:31 am

Hey, Hey, Hey.....Morgen Bichon, Wie gets Heute?

hello Dr Scrabs!

hola bichon!
7:50 am

hi aeb!
7:51 am
aebmusica
Ahhh, sehr gut!
7:52 am
aebmusica
Good Morning all
7:54 am
EvaNadine
oh, Dr Scrabs - i am SO READY for poor baby K to get rid of this RSV!
hes mostly fine, but this little rattle in his chest just wont go away.
7:55 am
Scrabbler
The cough/wheeze from an RSV infection is usually resolved in 3-4 weeks, so I hope he hasn't developed asthma--chronic airway inflammation.
7:55 am
aebmusica
hi Srabbs
7:55 am
EvaNadine
ugh. it's been like 4 months.
7:56 am
EvaNadine
they didnt think it was asthma, because the nebulizer doesnt really make THAT much of a difference.
7:56 am
Scrabbler
Does he cough a lot during the night?
7:56 am
EvaNadine
he has recently picked up a cough again...about 2 days ago. and hes snotty/congested again.
7:56 am
bichon
How do you treat asthma in a small baby?
7:56 am
Scrabbler
Albuterol doesn't relieve airway inflammation. Albuterol is a bronchodilator.
7:57 am
EvaNadine
they were thinking that the RSV wasnt gone yet because he had gotten a few colds sorta back-to-back
7:57 am
Scrabbler
Bichon, same as for older kids. Inhaled corticosteroid (Pulmicort by nebulizer or Flovent inhaler with a chamber)
7:58 am
bichon
what about a nebulizer
7:58 am
EvaNadine
at his last appt, i asked if it was possible he had allergies, but they said he was too young?
7:58 am
Scrabbler
RSV can cause asthma by causing airway inflammation.
7:59 am
Scrabbler
He is young for allergies, but the pattern of respiratory viruses causing bad coughing (with or without wheezing) makes me think asthma.
8:00 am
EvaNadine
well, we are back in on wednesday morning for his 2nd flu shot, so i will ask about asthma. his dad + i dont have it -- does that make any difference?
8:00 am
Scrabbler
bichon, we mostly use inhalers with chamber with masks--quicker and easier to use for parents, especially in infants and toddlers.
8:01 am
bichon
two of my grandchildren have it + their parents. Very strong on my side. I take Advair and Montelukast
8:02 am
Scrabbler
Eva, sometimes we use the term "reactive airway disease" to indicate that the airway are inflamed. I see the term RAD as a euphemism for asthma.
8:03 am
EvaNadine
hrm. i dont think they have mentioned that to me.
8:04 am
Scrabbler
Yes, bichon, their is a strong genetic component, But a RSV infection can then predispose kids to develop asthma.
8:05 am
EvaNadine
unrelated, apparently we are having trouble stopping his....manhood from re-adhering (he is circumcised).
any tips on that, other than pulling really hard (like the doctor did)?
8:05 am
Scrabbler
Eva, I just want to provide another viewpoint and suggestion. Baby K has coughed for so long that placing him on Pulmicort by nebulizer for 6-12 weeks is reasonable.
8:06 am
bichon
I thought that circumcision avoided adhesions
8:06 am
Scrabbler
Gentle traction and vaseline or hydrocortisone cream 3 times daily. And remember, if he were incirc'd the foreskin does not separate from the glans until age 4 yrs or so anyways. So, adhesions are common in circ'd boys.
8:07 am
EvaNadine
TY, Scrabs - i appreciate any additional info i can have in my arsenal!
i understand to some extent the whole "give it time, let it pass" mentality, but he has been rattly/wheezy for nearly 4 months. seems time to dive a little deeper...
8:08 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I have been concerned with the length of this coughing and wheezing.
8:09 am
EvaNadine
me too.
overall, they have just been chalking it up to a bad season + the fact that he started day care.
8:09 am
EvaNadine
i get that, but even this cant be normal.
8:09 am
bichon
Eva, there's also a second opinion b y a Pediatric allergist
8:10 am
Scrabbler
Frequent colds, that is expected. But bad or recurrent coughing and wheezing raises the suspicion for "RAD" or asthma.
8:11 am
EvaNadine
thanks, Dr Scrabs - i always appreciate your willingness to share information during your free time. :)
8:12 am
Scrabbler
I hesitate to comment because I don't want to undermine the trust you have in your docs. I just want to suggest another plan.
8:14 am
Scrabbler
I have looked at your docs' website and they appear to be an excellent group. I suspect they are hesitant to place Baby K on an inhaled steroid and are hoping that he will just get over this when the winter sick season ends soon.
8:14 am
aebmusica
Would an elevated mattress help....I have chronic bronchial asthma and i wheeze at night . If I elevate my head with pillows, I wheeze less.
8:15 am
Scrabbler
GERD is always something to consider in a baby with chronic coughing and wheezing.
8:15 am
EvaNadine
oh, i still trust them thoroughly. but a different viewpoint is always useful...i think, at least.
8:16 am
Scrabbler
Yes, it is, Eva.
8:16 am
EvaNadine
i believe they actually gave him 3 doses of a steroid when he got sick the 2nd time, but i dont believe it helped.
8:16 am
aebmusica
I don't have GERD as of yet anyway.
8:17 am
EvaNadine
i believe it was an oral steroid, not an inhaled steroid.
8:20 am
aebmusica
HOW are baby K's tonsils doing? I had to have mine out when I was two yrs. old.
8:20 am
Scrabbler
3 days is not long enough to know. I would try him on Pulmicort for at least 3-4 weeks of Pulmicort.
8:26 am
EvaNadine
other than the rattly chest + occasional cough, hes a perfectly normal, healthy kiddo!
bottom teeth already in + cutting top teeth as we speak (i was thinking the coughing may be related to the teething, since hes drooling like a faucet!)

Evening all. I'm firmly stuck at 46 left, but I fear it'll stay that way, as the hour grows late. Hope Friday is treating you well!

5:21 pm
MollyL
Congratulations Matty. I didn't realize you had been a year without work. Hope it is a good fit for you.
5:21 pm
mattygroves
Me too! It happened VERY quickly
5:22 pm
mattygroves
I got a call from one of my semi regular recruitment consultants Wed morning - could I go for an interview either that evening or the following morning.
5:22 pm
MollyL
It is tough on your savings when you go a year without a paycheck.
5:22 pm
mattygroves
I suggested Thursday morning, all was set up - a 1st interview (you know the thing, chit chat over CV and stuff)
5:23 pm
mattygroves
I then get a call at lunchtime saying that as both (on separate occasions and for different companies) had seen me before, they'd like to do it as a second interview - and gave me a brief to do a task, so I turned a presentation around in around 6 hours, presented Thursday at 10, was offered the job at 12.30
5:23 pm
mattygroves
I start on 10 May
5:24 pm
MollyL
CV=Resume?
5:24 pm
mattygroves
Yep - resume!
5:25 pm
MollyL
Thanks. I always think of CV as more of an educational description of work. I'm still unclear about the UK vs US terms.
5:25 pm
mattygroves
Sorry - yeah, here they call all resumes CVs.
5:26 pm
mattygroves
I always find it funny that everyone, without fail (myself included) puts Cirriculum Vitae on top of their CVs. Like, what the hell else is it? It's like putting BOOK on the front cover of a book
5:26 pm
MollyL
I'm glad you got good news. It's tough to be out of work for that long.
5:27 pm
Judi
Greetings, all! Just reading back in chat. Well done, Matty! Are you going to take the job?
5:27 pm
MollyL
That is interesting. Here in these united states, we do not put RESUME at the top of a resume. The standard format is to put your name and contact information there.
5:29 pm
mattygroves
I have already accepted :)

Dust off the office clothes. Get out the iron.
5:33 pm
mattygroves
Aaah, it's in marketing. I can wear jeans (happy days)
5:33 pm
Judi
Shoo the moths and lint out of your wallet.
5:34 pm
mattygroves
Yeah, and the 5 year old receipts and business cards of people I have no idea who they are, and loyalty cards for coffee places that exist only in one small town, 150 miles away
5:35 pm
Judi
lol. Hmmm. Yes. Time to let go of the old.
5:36 pm
Judi
Well, best of luck to you. Knock 'em dead.
5:42 pm
Judi
My husband is interviewing for his old job (within the same company) next week. Larger utility company absorbed a smaller one. Changed job titles. Moved him to IT, even though he's not really an IT guy. Nonsensical staff shuffling. So, the new interview process is going before a tribunal where they ask you a myriad of questions. It's all so silly. He was the only one who did that job (for the past 20 years mind you). Rather an insult to make him interview for it, I think.
5:44 pm
MollyL
I agree Judi. I dislike corporate structure that decides that is a good idea.
5:44 pm
MollyL
It's a big eff you to the people who worked hard to get the company viable.
5:49 pm
Judi
I HATE corporate politics and bureaucracy. Bunch of douchebags in stuffed suits who like to hear themselves talk.
5:50 pm
MollyL
I agree...times ten
5:50 pm
Judi
Ahem. Present company excluded, of course (if anyone might fit that description).
5:51 pm
Judi
Off to dinner! *POOF*
6:18 pm
hurshy
well, Judi may be gone but she reminded me of a funny story. one day i was walking down the street and i saw these corporate looking women ahead of me. dress suits, hair, makeup, the works. being another one who hates corporate stuff, i was immediately going, "yuck". then i got close enough to hear their conversation - it was about Jane Austen! so i learned a little lesson about not judging people by their appearance.
