Good morning! We posted the start of the thread within seconds of each other. I deleted mine LOL I was quite busy yesterday. I had to attend a training in the morning. When I was coming back to the office, my new friend called. He was close by my office. We had a quick hello in the parking lot outside the building. It made the day really nice. After work, I ran to pick up my son and all. We took the baby to the pediatrician. It was time for his synergist shot which is given to premies during RSV season. He was also weighed. He weighed in at 8 lbs 1 ounce. He is a growing boy. I discovered that N hasn't taken him since I had taken him to the doctor. I thought it was strange she didn't know an exact weight. She had also told me that the doctor said she could start the baby on cereal. I learned the "doctor" was her mother. I urged her to ask the pediatrician about feeding LP foods. He told her NO. I just stood and listened. She needs to learn to adjust his birth age for the time when he should have been born. He would only be about 2 months old right now instead of nearly 4.   Oh well! i was called by my pulminologist yesterday. I have to go back to using a cpap. It seems my oxygen levels drop below 80% quite often while I am sleeping. Darn! I hooked the machine back up last night. I guess it is a good thing that I wore one for so many years. It didn't cause any sleep problems for me during the night. The doctor wants to repeat the oxygen test while i am using the cpap. If my levels don't improve with the cpap, I will have to start using oxygen while I sleep.  I am not going to let this bother me at all. I hope everyone has a lovely day!!!!

It is comforting to know there will be a couple of early risers in Pittsburgh.  Aime - doctors don't start babies on foods until they are much older. Not like the 'olden days'. N has no idea how fortunate she is to have you right there to help. He's getting to be a BIG BOY If I am ever scheduled to work with my frisky client on April 1st again, I will call in sick!! It was an evening of constant "April Fool". By the end of the night I was worn out with her antics. Melanie discovered a pink tutu from an old bedroom decoration. She has worn it day and night for several days. Mary can't convince her to get out of it. I went shopping and found a new one. I will take it to her when we go to gymnastics. My little ballerina starts lessons in July. Already signed up. Matthew (one year old) has decided to play the harmonica. He walks through the house belting out his tunes. As Mary and I talk on the phone, Matthew can be heard in the background making his music. I think he needs a set of drums soon.   Time to get this day rolling. You have a fun day. Kisses Annette

Annette, You are such a good grammy. What a lucky daughter you have and even luckier grands. My grandma was so mean. My sister and I have very bad memories of her clear up until 4-5 years ago when she passed. My sister is always scared she will visit her at night. She was not a very nice lady. So Annette, I will live vicariously through your granddaughter. Cheryl

We never touch people so lightly we do not leave a trace.

Aloha Annette......Oh, I LOVE the story about the tutu!! It makes me think of my little Brocky and his red rubber boots. I sent him some Hawaiian kine bright red boots when he was about two and he WOULD NOT TAKE THEM OFF!! He slept in them, he took a bath in them....he wore them day and night. Isn't it funny how a small child can latch onto something and it means so much to them. I think it's a good sign that they can attach and put value in something........it means they have a mind of their own and can make decisions about what they like and don't like in life.

Thanks for your always charming stories.....I love them.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Aime, I have used oxygen at night to sleep since my WLS surgery and after when the Pulmaologist found out that my oxygen levels drop down below 80 at night....I sleep like a baby now and dream all the time.  I feel so safe withmy oxygen on.....I use an Oxygenator that is about the size of a dehumifier and it makes oxygen from the air so I don't have to change tanks or anything.....they are not sure why this is happening, it is just happening, so don't worry about it......I didn't need a CPAP, just hte oxygen on at night. Love, Marti. ps. It is a little bit of a hassle when I travel, but when I go to Texas they just deliver an Oxygenator to my duaghter's house and I sleep fine....I have found thatf I can also go a few nights without it like when I have gone to Florida to see my Mother, but I am most comfortable when I wear it.

Annette and everyone, Busy trying to get all my work done since I'm off on Thursday and Friday.  It's nice to have time off work but you always have to rush to get everything done before you go and then catch up when you get back.  Sometimes it doesn't seem worth it. Hope everyone going to Pittsburgh has a great time.  Look forward to hearing all the stories next week.  Floyd
