Praying for you all, especially Hannah.

:grouphug: I feel the same way. It's been a year since I had an ectopic pregnancy and I'm still grieving about it.

It may be a cyst, but it's not ruptured. Ruptured ovarian cysts are extremely painful.

I can't quit checking books out from the library.:glare:

Excellent news!:D

My son was doing that too at age 7. He outgrew it without speech therapy.

Just my own experience, but the 3 day juice fast I did really made me feel better. I'd recommend it.

Thank you!

Does anyone here use or know of an online christian school? Especially anything along the lines of K12? TIA.

I'm glad to hear you got a good report from your OB.

I'd be heading to the vet ASAP.

I think I'd visit the doctor to find out what is causing the water retention. In the meantime, I'd drink lots of fluid.

Do it. Your husband will know you did it because you love him.

I wouldn't be worried about it. I've done that before too.

That sounds like a good idea. I'll try it. I worry it will get infected if I don't cover it with something, but I didn't think of using cayenne to keep him from pulling the bandage off. Thanks!

He did it this morning, but we don't know how. He was out running with the kids on our acreage. The bleeding stopped on it's own. He seems content to just lie down right now. It's not at all that deep, just raw, and I'm sure very sore. Our vet is closed for the weekend, but I do know of a 24 hour vet clinic about 20 miles away. I'd like to avoid going if I can because it's expensive, but I will take him in if he doesn't seem to improve quickly.

Our 7 month old german shepherd cut the large pad on his paw. A small piece was hanging loose and he chewed it off. It left a shallow raw spot about the size of a quarter on the bottom of his pad. It seems to be giving him quite a bit of pain. I've cleansed it with antiseptic, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice? TIA

Another okie here agreeing that this summer beats even the summers of the early 1980s. But for a bit of perspective, read about the summer of 1936. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936_North_American_heat_wave And NOBODY had air conditioning back then.

Too risky. I'd take the antibiotics.

Ahh, the sound of dial up internet. The good old days.:D

This was recommended to me for my mildly autistic daughter, but it is very expensive. Has anyone given this to their child? Did it help focus them? How much do you give them? TIA.

Murder and the teachings of Christ are incompatible.

So what was it? Inquiring minds want to know.
