Hi Peta!!!!!!! was wondering how long it would take you

Has Alex gotten any better through the day?

[lexi11]

hey ali. yeah shes perked up a bit, im so relieved. took her to the dr though and its indeed full on malabsorbtion. they worried cause shes got so much wind, now this, something is going on. god, i hope brissy work it out in december!

How are you guys?

[alioops]

Oh no!! not Malabsobtion!!! Maybe you should ring Brissy tomorrow and ask if they want to see her sooner? something is not right. Glad she is happier though!!

We are all our usual selves. Em had been eating sultanas though so she is being rather regular, 2 today usually only 1! but that's not too bad.

[alioops]

Now please, please dont think im being *****y but I am a bit confussed atm.

ive justt gone into Children's Medical Conditions and seen quiet a few postings and stickies in there about Lactose intolorance and now its in here?

Isn't that confussing to people who are looking for help and seeing it as a medical condition rather then a special need or disability, as a disability is something that cant be 'fixed' with a simple diet.

I know that its not an easy thing either but it seems so low down to the special needs of member who has a child with a cleft palate disability or no sight.

I dont want others to feel like they cant come in here and chat about their children with their disabilities and feel uncomfortable. I just think that the topic should stay in one section so member know were it is.
