Posted by An_246126

I have two of my own children but also take care of a friend's child during the week. My children are newly 3 and 8 months. The child I care for is 21 months. She talks at the level my 3 year old did at 13 months. ( I understand different children have different verbal progressions so that is not my first concern, she walked early and is physically developed ahead of most kids her age). My concern are the issues with her behaviors. She screams, and bits her fingers so hard to the point that they bleed sometimes. She gets so frustrated with things that she will often shake in frustration. She is now acclimated to my children (although REALLY struggles with playing with other children, but does fine independently) but if we go to the park with lots of other kids she will not go near them and will stand with me the whole time. She sometimes freaks out when meeting new kids. She blinks her eyes when we clap on every clap she will blink. She is deathly afraid of the vacuum. She has never slept much, I've cared for her since she was 9 months old, and at 9 months she was only taking one nap at a max of 50 min. I have tried to work out these issues and have done a little research... some of her things match up with Asberger's syndrome, but she physically has developed above average, and seems to be meeting the minimums of the verbal communication suggested by the sheets you receive from doctors. Because her mother is a friend, I am nervous to bring up my concerns especially if this is normal for some children. Her parents did seperate for I think it was about 7 months starting when she was about 7 months. They are living back together now and sounds like things are going well. I am just trying to figure out if these are things she may grow out of or not. I have made little suggestions of things to talk to the doctor about, and she says she'll ask, but with most things never does.Are these things worthy of concern? May I note, I have cared for many children, been a nanny and have child shared with other moms and have interacted with many children of the toddler age.View Thread

Posted by toyoursuccess

My son Tim was about 3 and half years old when he was dignosed with Legg Calve Perthes. I was in total shock since he was born healthy, breast fed and was never in any health problem other than asthma. He was very active. But one night about 4am in Sept 2011 he came to my room in excrutiating pain. My heart was so broken to see him in this condition. I carried him in my arms for hours though it was so painful in my back. But because this is the only way that gave him a little comfort I bear my pain. I can't move to simply align my spine because a little move will make him scream. We spent several doctor's visits and finally found a specialist. So after seeing his doctor all I heard was he has this condition called Legg Calve Perthes and it was because there is not enough blood flow going to the hip bone causing the bone to die. The doctor explained also that there is no cure at this point and she only told me what to expect. That in four months he has to come back and she's going to put cast on him. I was in total shock hearing that there is no cure. I felt like I was in the primitive age and not in the 21st century. I was also told that he is not allowed to be on sport, no jumping, running, playing, etc. What toddler cannot do those? Hearing all these from the doctor I asked her, "There's gotta be something out there, anything, there must be something responsible for blood flow. What food is good for that, if no medicine how about vitamins? There has to be something..." I got nothing, in fact the doctor told me that she cannot endorse vitamins. But because I want to take care of my son I trained him for a week to make sure he follows what the doctor said. Well, I called everyone I know hoping someone could help. Everyone made their own researches and thankfully my sister in the Philippines got involved in a company that endorses good nutrition. She first looked up the diseas in the Wikipedia and when she saw that there was really nothing out there she asked me if I am willing to try what she has. I told her bring it on since there is nothing out there, right? The very best decision I ever made. She sent me the highest grade multivitamin according to Comparative Guide to Supplements (book by Lyle MacWilliam) pharmaceutical and cellular level nutrition. Made sense, I thought, cell, which is the smallest unit of the body had to be repaired. I was not wrong. Since I gave it to him there was only 2 simple attacks within that week and none thereafter. When I came back to the doctor for his four month check up the doctor was surprised to see him.She said that it was not a normal course for the many patients she has been dealing with for years, she had never seen this. She told me to be back in 9 months. But just a month ago I asked the doctor to see him again before I lose my insurance due to employment separation. When x-ray came back you won't even notice that he had the condition. I praise God for His help and thank God for advance science in nutrition. I was glad that what I had to resort with is a good nutrition that repairs and help and not medicine that normally gives risks and side effects. I attempted to tell doctors my experiences and hoping they can give patients some relief since there is nothing out there for that. But in my disappointment I was told that they cannot endorse vitamins. Really sad. Glad to see this forum and hopefully I can give value to others this way.View Thread

Posted by An_248016

Our 7 year old routinely complains of a stomach ache, we have been noting eating habits, observing if there are possible onsets such as school nerves, changes in behavior or just general household changes, but nothing that would be a definate finger pointer. We did visit our peditrician who at times seems rather extreme whom did order blood test and stools samples and xrays and said that she was backed up and that she also had a parasite probably from drinking water at school or from eating out and prescribed antibiotics in pill form for her at the time she was 5 , which doesn't seem sensible considering most adults have a hard time gestating pills, but the weird thing is she prescribed her to take 4 tablets four times a day, thats 16 tablets per day for a five year old, needless to say we gave every attempt to get her to try and swallow the over dozen pills each day between masking them in yogurt, to juice to even trying it in soda or a sweet just to get our daughter to get the medicine down, we failed and she ended up vomiting more than she consumed, long story short she still has the somach aches and another thing that sticks it my mind when we called the dr to revise the prescription do to the difficulty we were having, she stated that this was the only antibiotic that would kill the parasite and that that was the only form that it came in, so we ended up not finishing the treatment, and there was also a signifigant break in the complaints of her stomache ache, about a year went by and here we are again with the continuous complaints, before dinner, after dinner, in the middle of the night, in the morning, before school after school, during play time or the movies, the latest complaint which brought more concern than usual was in the drive through getting dinner, she begged me to please leave because it hurt so bad and that she just wanted to get home and did cry the 20 minutes home. I am sure another visit to the doctor is mandatory, but convincing her of this given the last set of circumstances seems to be a great task. We just want to know when does it become serious enough that we force another trip back to the dr and could it be this mysterious parasite from the water? Thank you The Lopez family/concernedView Thread
