But I might also just go the game route with these: Ion Covalence and Valence Nice!! Thanks for posting! I have three doing chemistry, so I could almost justify the expensive one.

Wheres Toto Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hello, I'm finally home and sitting still long enough to catch up on this thread (I may have skipped some, sorry). Long day, met dd at 7:30am to work out, then worked at the science center, taught 4 classes, did some clean up (have more to do in the AM), ran to the bank, took dd to TKD, and just finished dinner. I don't like the new layout but I'll get used to it. Facebook did a similar thing, supposedly optimized for cell phones and tablets, but lousy on laptops (which is what I use 99% of the time). Sorry for everyone dealing with sick kids or obnoxious husbands. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to feed my oldest with a beach towel in hand it was so bad- no burp rag on this earth was sufficient, and I had to change three times before we left the hospital when we were being discharged with her to go home. It was impressive. And gross. But I've never heard of the term you used. They never checked anything on her diagnostically beyond a physical exam and the pedi was never concerned because she kept up growth wise, we just had to use some fancy formula- but that was in the dark ages. Even with the fancy formula, she still projectiled every feeding until she got into the baby food stage. 🤢 I do not miss that part. I hope Izagchk is okay. He's not that bad. He's had issues keeping food down since he was born. Matt's just worried about the condition because it's genetic and John had it. Pyloric Stenosis is when the sphincter between the stomach and large intestines is too thick to allow food to pass through. They consume food with no problem, they digest it in their stomach, and then throw up curdled formula. Without treatment they starve to death, but that doesn't happen to first world people. John had surgery at 2 months. Isaac, in my opinion, is not showing the right signs for concern, and I caught John's in 4 hours so I should know! He also has lots of gastro symptoms so throwing up isn't surprising. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I wish that pyloric stenosis were better known. I got compliments from every single nurse that I caught it so quickly and that he was still so fat before surgery. So many of the babies were skinny and sickly. If you just knew the signs you would know what it looks like (projectile, curtled vomit) . When I went to the ER they told me there was no way that it was pyloric stenosis and it was acid reflux. I asked them to put in their notes that they refused an ultrasound and they didn't want to do that so they did the stupid ultrasound and guess what? How much longer would I have waited to go back to the ER. I was so pissed. It was an ULTRASOUND! And he was not going to eat until after surgery. He needed it immediately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our youth orchestra is doing something similar (small chamber groups), but last I heard they're supposed to be in person. They will do a 3-week cycle of rehearsals with a streamed performance and then repeat it a couple more times for the semester - musicians can participate once or all three times. (We opted out. Hoping the full orchestras will be seated for spring.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd11 said everyone is on mute - first they listened to the music, then they played while the conductor snapped her fingers and kind of hummed the melody while everyone played along (still muted). Sort of hap-hazard, but I'm guessing if the kid is generally motivated, they will be OK learning the music like this for now. In ds15's rehearsal on Sunday, the conductor would ask ds15 to play a passage on his cello and everyone else was supposed to be on mute and play along with him? Something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I have decided that even on the days I don't meet dd, I'm going to get up at 6:30am. Then I have time to have my tea, eat something and relax reading the boards before heading into the science center around 8am. Still early enough to get lots of work done. I have to figure out the days I meet dd. I could get up earlier (ugh) so I can eat/tea before. I was coming home to eat/tea but now I don't come back, I just stay at the science center. I could bring all the stuff to make my tea there, but I only have a microwave so can't do all my bone broth stuff that easily. I could make it at home and put it in a thermos but even my Swell doesn't hold more than one cup. I decided one reason my ankle was hurting more was because I wasn't having my bone broth everyday anymore. So I need to remedy that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrift store is cheaper. Or consignment sales - they have a few biannual sales in our area that have really good deals, but I still have to bring a tape measure and hope for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
