- #AlexfromTarget: An Unexpected Consequence Of Technology in
Search Insider on
Yes, I'm belatedly jumping on the #AlexfromTarget bandwagon, but it's in service of a greater truth that I'm trying to illustrate. Last column, I spoke about the "Unintended Consequences of Technology." I think this qualifies.
- The Unintended Consequences Of Technology in
Search Insider on
In last Friday's Online Spin column, Kaila Colbin asks a common question about the noise surrounding the latest digital technologies: Who cares? Kalia rightly points out that we tend to ascribe unearned importance to whatever digital technology we're focused on at any given time. This is called, aptly enough, the focusing illusion in the words of Daniel Kahneman, who coined the term, noting, "Nothing in life is as important as you think it is, while you are thinking about it."
- The Virtuous Cycle And The End Of Arm's-Length Marketing in
Search Insider on
Last week I wrote what should have been an open and shut column, looking at why SEO never really lived up to the potential of its business opportunity. Then my friend Scott Brinker had to respond with this comment:
- Why SEO Never Lived Up To Its Potential in
Search Insider on
IAB Canada President Chris Williams asked me a great question last week. We had just finished presenting the results of the new eye tracking study I told you about in my last three columns. I had also polled the audience of some 400-plus Internet marketers about how many were doing some type of organic optimization. A smattering of hands (which, in case you're wondering, is somewhere south of a dozen, or about 3% of the audience) went up. Williams picked up on the disconnect right away. "We have a multibillion-dollar interactive advertising industry here in Canada, and you're telling me [on search at least] that only represents about 16% of the potential traffic? Why isn't SEO a massive industry?"
- Evolved Search Behaviors: Takeaways For Marketers in
Search Insider on
In my last two columns, I first looked at the origins of the original Golden Triangle, and then looked at how search behaviors have evolved in the last nine years, according to a new eye tracking study. In today's column, I'll try to pick out a few "so whats" for search marketers.
- How Search Users' Habits Have Evolved in
Search Insider on
Last week, I reviewed why the Golden Triangle existed in the first place. This week, we'll look at how the scanning patterns of Google users have evolved in the past nine years. The reason I wanted to talk about information foraging last week is that it really sets the stage for understanding how patterns have changed with the present Google layout. In particular, one thing was true for Google in 2005 that is no longer true in 2014: Back then, all results sets looked pretty much the same.
- The Evolution Of Google's Golden Triangle in
Search Insider on
In search marketing circles, most everyone has heard of Google's Golden Triangle. It even has its own Wikipedia entry (which is more than I can say). The "Triangle" is rapidly coming up to its 10th birthday (it was March of 2005 when Didit and Enquiro -- now Mediative -- first released the study). This year, Mediative conducted a new study to see if what we found a decade ago still continues to be true. Another study from the Institute of Communication and Media Research in Cologne, Germany also looked at the evolution of search user behaviors. I'll run through the findings of both studies to see if the Golden Triangle still exists. But before we dive in, let's look back at the original study.
- The Metaphysical Corporation = The Death of Capitalism? in
Search Insider on
Something strange is happening to companies. More and more, their business is being conducted in non-physical markets. Businesses used to produce stuff. Now, they produce ideas.
- A Prospect Ignored Isn't Really A Prospect in
Search Insider on
I've ranted about this before -- and, oh yes, I shall rant again! But first, the back story. I needed some work done at a property I own. I found three contractors online and reached out to each of them to get a quote. Cue crickets.
- The Apple Watch: More Than Just A Pretty Face in
Search Insider on
I just caught Tim Cook's live streaming introduction of the Apple Watch (I guess they've given up the long running "i" naming theme). What struck me most is how arduously Apple has stuck with traditional touch points in introducing a totally new product category (well, new for Apple, anyway).

- The Unintended Consequences Of Technology
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
And James...I have said in the past that every marketer should read Rogers' book. I learned more from it than any "marketing" book I've ever read.
- The Unintended Consequences Of Technology
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
Good points John. There are societal complexities and nuances that we/I shouldn't be attempting to label or judge.

Good point Scott. I feel a follow up column coming on!
- The Unstoppable Growth Of Programmatic Is Going To Kill Jobs
by Maarten Albarda (Online Spin on
Hey Maarteen...when you are ready to rant about #...you can follow up where I left off: http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/223266/meaningless-crap.html
- Are Our Brains Trading Breadth for Depth?
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
Paula..did we really learn the times table..or just memorize them? I'm sure our generation took our own short cuts (I remember calculators being banned in the classroom for Math). But I agree with you that curiosity about "how" and "why" is the difference and that's actually the topic for next week's column.
- When Are Crowds Not So Wise?
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
Pete - I think the distinction is between decisions and tasks. As a person who has served on many committees, execution by a group almost always is less efficient than execution by an individual. The study is not about tasks, but decisions.
- Can Microsoft Really 'Bing It On' Against Google Search?
by Ryan DeShazer (Search Insider on
Ryan..thanks for the shout out. Context shifts always provide an opportunity for habit breaking. So yes, the Web of Things could definitely shake things up. I am concerned about the user impact of more advertising on the desktop Bing experience, however. As you point out, what's good for advertisers is almost never good for consumers/users. Google has a better track record for successfully balancing the two, but we'll see what the future holds.
- Never Underestimate The Human Ability To Ignore Data
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
Some very interesting comments. Pete - you hit a great point about "curated data" - which I think I'll follow up on in the next column. What strikes me is how all we savvy data marketers interpret the data on global warming in completely different ways. Seems to me that this is a great case in point on what happens when data is subject to human frailty. I happen to feel very strongly that there is strong evidence for climate change, and I can certainly find data to back up my view. But many of you believe just as strongly that it's a "tempest in a tea pot" and you have data to back you up as well. My mistake, it seems, was falling into the same trap that my CMO did, where I overstated my case (perhaps) based on my interpretation of the data. This makes me realize just how difficult it is to balance objective data and very subjective beliefs.
- Never Underestimate The Human Ability To Ignore Data
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
Jeff... Actually, the debate is exactly what I want to happen. Maybe the data you reference is right..maybe not (http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2011/01/forbes-rich-list-of-nonsense/). But if I'm wrong - it won't kill us. If you're wrong, it might. In this case, a false negative is much worse than a false positive. And latching on to arguments like Mr. Bell's to gain a potentially false sense of security is exactly like my CMO looking for data to confirm his view of the world. By all means, let's open up the debate to rational evidence..and I really hope I'm wrong!
- Whom Would You Trust: A Human Or An Algorithm?
by Gord Hotchkiss (Search Insider on
Steven ...practically speaking, I would imagine so, but their creative license would be restricted by the findings of the algorithm. The algorithm would produce the formula and humans would just fill in the appropriate words.

Mitt Romney
Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney arrives to his election night rally, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Boston. President Obama defeated Republican challenger former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
David Goldman, Associated Press
Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. He was the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.
Raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, by his parents Lenore and George W. Romney, Mitt Romney spent two and a half years in France as a Mormon missionary starting in 1966. He married Ann Davies in 1969, with whom he has had five children.
By 1971, Romney had participated in the political campaigns of both his parents. In that year, he earned a Bachelor of Arts at Brigham Young and in 1975, a joint Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration at Harvard.
Romney then entered the management consulting industry and in 1977 he secured a position at Bain & Company. Later serving as its chief executive officer, he helped lead the company out of financial crisis.
In 1984, he cofounded and led the spin-off company Bain Capital, a highly profitable private equity investment firm that became one of the largest of its kind in the nation. His considerable net worth, estimated in 2012 at $190250 million, helped finance his prior political campaigns.

A clubbable woman
Reginald Hill's Pascoe and Dalziel series plays with the contrast between the blunt, cunning, stereotypical Yorkshireman Chief Inspector Dalziel (pronounce Dee-el) and his intellectual (even sensitive) assistant Pascoe and Ellie, Pascoe's feminist wife. The series starts here, and the contrast between the players is not yet fully exploited, but the books have achieved significant popularity and been televised.

I'm working for a company and their site has to ability to upload a CV on their careers site.
The problem I'm having is that they haven't used the standard HTML5 file uploading system. They are using a JS plugin called PLUpload. At the moment, you click on the Upload File anchor element and the OS dialog box appears for you to select a file. There is no Input element with the type of file on the page for me to use sendKeys().
I need to be able to upload a file to the form through selenium to automate a test that applies for each job one after the other.
If anyone has any suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated! Cheers

Mastiff Cross
Betty – 8 year old female Mastiff Cross
Please meet beautiful Betty! Betty is a Mastiff Cross of approximately 8 years old, she came to us as a stray from the pound – the person who alerted us to her plight said she had given up and stopped eating. She didn't think life was worth fighting for – how wrong she was. She has been with us a month and has transformed!! She is quite the regal girl and absolutely must have space on the sofa. She will stand and bark at me to move if there is no room for her!! She walks beautifully on the lead although she is a little stiff, likely arthritis setting in – or possibly the cold from the pound, she is house trained, most of the day she spends snoozing on the sofa however she loves her food!
Betty is a gentle giant, she is a darling with not a bad bone in her body. She is a big girl weighing in at 40 kg. She loves other dogs so must be homed either where there is a resident dog or she would have plenty of contact with dogs. She is not destructive at all and is quite content being left for short periods. She is a very undemanding and lazy.
Would suit an older person or couple. This lovely old girl would make a fantastic addition to any family as she is really laid back and undemanding, but equally a lovely cuddly loyal companion! Betty can live with other dogs, and can also be housed with children age 13 plus. Betty is spayed, fully vaccinated and chipped. She is flea and wormed.
Could this gentle giant take over your heart and sofa!?READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Lynx – 5 year old male Mastiff Cross
My name is Lynx, I am a 5 year old, male Mastiff cross. I arrived at Carla Lane Animals in Need after they saved me from being destroyed at the dog pound almost 2 years ago. Since then my life has been a roller coaster ride of a time, last year I fell I'll and was on a drip in the vets. I lost a lot of weight and went down to 20kgs. It is a miracle that I pulled through. I am a big softy and love kisses and cuddles. I walk well on the lead and carry my kong toy everywhere I go. I walk well around other dogs too, but due too my past I can be dominant in the home so need an experience owner with no children or other pets. I am now ready for a forever home, I am now 43kgs and counting, a happy healthy boy.
Samson – 18 month old male Mastiff Cross
Samson is a handsome Mastiff Cross who is around 18 months old. He is full of fun but has not had much training. Because of this, he is very strong and bouncy. He needs an active home with someone capable and committed to keeping up with his training.
Samson has lived with children but due to his bouncy nature, he can only go to a home with children over the age of 10; who are used to large breeds. He is not good with small animals and has not been tested with cats.
Teddy – 2 year old male Rottweiler cross Mastiff
Teddy is a 2 year old Rottweiler Cross Mastiff. He came to us in 2012 via another rescue, who had no previous information on him. He was homed in October 2013 but unfortunately, he came back to us due to a relationship break down. He is currently in foster in Kent. His fosterer says that Teddy is a big baby and loves to be near people. If you sit on the floor, he will sit on your lap. He loves to play football and if you throw the ball, he wants you to chase him. He likes to rip things if he gets the chance! Teddy has an appetite of a horse and good basic obedience. He has a very high prey drive and will chase anything that runs or flies. He is also not good with loud noises.
Teddy can be homed with older children who are over 10 years old. He could also be rehomed with another dog. This would be on the understanding that both dogs would meet several times to see if they got on with each other, before the adoption process was continued. He is untested with cats.
Lily – 1 year old female Mastiff Cross
Lily is a 1 year old female Mastiff Cross. She is a bundle of fun who loves other dogs. She would benefit from some training classes.
Lavinia – 5 year old female Mastiff cross Great Dane
Lavinia needs stability with an empathetic family who are comfortable with large breeds. She needs to be an only dog/pet at this stage. There is no edge to her around food, space, intrusive gestures or intervention. Lavinia is not proven to live with children. Her confidence will come from her owner. Lavinia's tail was partially amputated whilst previously in rescue.
Lavinia was found stray and unclaimed. She has been spayed, fully vax'd & chipped. She was homed for nine months but her previous owner had to move and couldn't take Lavinia with him.
Lavinia is great in every sense of the word. She meets strangers with kind caution in her eyes and isn't over demonstrative until she trusts: then she is joyful and close. Lavinia can lift her paws onto your shoulders but only in the gentlest and most considerate way; if she feels in the mood for 'fun' then she's up for that alright. Lavinia is house-trained and travels well in the car: she will look, noting and seeing it all, with no comment. Lavinia can be left free range in her house. She is the perfect companion.
Lavinia has a lavender-mauve brindle coat with the softest feel. She has a white bib and lovely jowls which suggests Great Dane heritage. She is about five years old. She stands 24″+ to her shoulder/withers. Lavinia has a great temperament with people, strangers and dogs. She needs supportive measures around children; her previous owners gave her up after nine months as they moved in with a young child and didn't have full faith in Lavinia or their own skills with a large dog. Lavinia's confidence will reflect her owner's comfortability. Super duper dog!

Please note that this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available to foster until a 'forever home' is found.
Please visit Lavinia's thread on our forum to find out whether she is still available. For full details and daily updates on all our dogs available for homing, click our forum link.READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Nelson – 18 week old male Great Dane cross Mastiff
Nelson is a stunning light fawn brindle puppy who has a character of a class clown, full of beans and mischief. This boy will have you laughing every day with his antics and goofiness. Nelson will be a big boy once grown up, so we are looking for a experienced large breed home who can let Nelson develop into a wonderful character. Nelson is learning the basics the moment. He knows the sit and wait for his food, he is crate trained and house trained. He also walks really well on the lead and is respectful of meeting dogs out on the lead, but as a typical happy giddy puppy off lead just runs and falls into other dogs to play.
Nelson would definitely benefit from puppy school and further training as he has so far missed out on all this till coming into rescue. Nelson is full vaccinated, chipped, wormed and flea'd and will go out on a neutering contract to be done at the appropriate time. Evidence of this will be required to the rescue.
This boy is beautiful inside and out and has so much potential – with the right committed family this lad will flourish into a fantastic addition to a family.READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...
Preston – 21 month old male Mastiff cross Shar Pei
Preston is a youthful 1 year and 9 months old whose eyes would melt any heart and an appealing personality. A gorgeous Mastiff Shar Pei crossbreed, this large fellow will need clear, kind but consistent handling and guidance but he will be worth every effort. He has no known health problems and he's ready to lavish you with love, licks and loyalty.
RSPCA Sheffield Branch Animal Care Manager Tony Benham says: "Preston is a lively young boy looking for a fresh start in life. Still only a baby in a lot of ways, he has had an unsettled start which has left him with some gaps in his social development and education that now need to be filled. He will need a clear, consistent but kind owner who will lavish Preston with praise for the all right things he does, while he settles and blossoms.
"This fun loving, enthusiastic youngster is affectionate, eager to please, learn new things and interact with people. Being a young lad, he is still developing some of his doggy manners and so he would benefit from an active, adult only home with experienced dog owners. But the time taken to invest in this beautiful boy's continued training will be returned tenfold due to his loveable personality and charms.
"He enjoys the company of other dogs and this provides him with a great outlet for his energy and love of life. We can assess Preston's suitability to live with cats if required.
"If his new home has children, those over the age of thirteen would be probably be best suited due to his age and size.
"When it comes to exercising a dog, it is not just about walking. That can make up a large part of a dog's regime but mental stimulation and varying activities is just as important. A dog needs the stimulus and joy of being able to have a good sniff at the world's sights and smells. Our centre will advise and form an agreement plan with any new owners as part of the adoption process and we are always here to support.
"We'd love to introduce you to Preston and we are hoping the right person or people will come forward soon to meet this lovable charmer. We are open every day except Wednesdays."READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...

George is an 18 month old male Mastiff cross Boxer. He is a lovable and loyal companion. Very energetic and ready to play or train all the time would be great dog for agility but also quite happy to crash out on the settee all day with you. Just loves to be with you. He doesn't like being crated but if left the run of the house for up to four or five hours he is never destructive or dirty just sleeps in his basket or waited patiently looking out of the window.
He is very good on a lead although strong if distracted by something. Good recall when training with treats and playing fetch. George would be great as an only dog or with a calm female.
Marge – 1-2 year old female Mastiff Cross
Marge is a 1 to 2 year old adult Mastiff cross. She walks well on a lead and enjoys a little fuss. Marge is a little bewildered by the kennel environment, but is slowly beginning to relax.
Maraca – 1-3 year old male Mastiff Cross
Maraca 1 to 3 year old male Mastiff cross. Very striking young boy, extremely attentive to his walker and walks very easily at your side. He knows some commands, but will need further training. This should be easy as he seemed to just want to please you. He is extremely affectionate and when you stopped walking he flipped over on his back for a tummy tickle ! He shares his kennel with a young male Collie and they got on well together.
Update: From our volunteers.
This guy is a great on the lead and has a brilliant temperament. Maraca knows all the commands and walks right by your side. Walked him with his little kennel mate ( deaf collie) attached the leads and they walked happily together and it was so easy. Maraca sat nicely for a treat & his mate Deefer followed.READ MORE ABOUT THIS DOG...

Hormones part 1
View MYLADY4's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MYLADY4
Monday, August 26, 2013
As many of my long time Spark friends have known, I have been struggling for years and years to get the final bit of weight off. What I was doing and was told to do did not show the results that it should. Calories in versus calories out did NOT work for me. I ended up with an eating disorder and an exercise addiction thanks to my desire to fit what society said women should look like.
About a year ago I was about to go off the deep and just stop eating all together then I heard of HCG. I tried it and it worked great for me and I got down to a size and weight that I was pretty happy with. I always knew that something was off with me and was hoping that it would reset the hormones that were off. In most people it would but not me. The hormones that HCG works with were not the ones that were way off.
Since my last round I have steadily gained weight despite eating low carb, eating when hungry, stopping when satisfied but not stuffed, something was still not right. I started doing Dr. Kruse Leptin reset and Cold Thermogenisis but still keep gaining, something was really really not right.
What I learned on the Leptin reset site is that women are very very hormonal (no DUGH!!!!!) and that I needed to get my levels checked ASAP. I wrote up a list of the tests that I wanted done and why and when to my GP and he agreed to run as many as he could. Not only was I gaining weight but I felt like I was in a fog (especially the second half of my cycle), my libido was low, I was sleeping like crap especially in the second half of my cycle again, I felt achy a lot, loss if interests in stuff, some days I just felt like the tank was on empty, I was getting ACNE again (WTF!!!!!), hair kept falling out. I was basically just falling apart.
After I got my first set of labs back, the puzzle pieces starting to come together.
When I got the first set of results back the main thing that hit me over the head was that my T3 and RT3 levels were messed up even with being on Armour for my thyroid. Why was this? It lead me to really look into my female hormones. Unfortunately, I had to redo the tests that I had the GP do because there is a specific time in the cycle that these need to be taken at (grrrr waste of money).
I did a saliva hormone test that tested the female hormones again as well as a 24 hour cortisol test and iodine.
Got the second set of hormone testing back last week and did get some good news about that. For one, it shows that my cortisol levels are good. Higher in the morning then dropping off at night. I think that this means that my adrenals are not shot, whoohooo. Cross that off the list of things to worry about and try to fix.
My progesterone as measured on day 21 of the cycle is way way low. 79 pg/ml on a scale of 75-270, estradiol 2.1 pg/ml with a range of 1.3-3.3 giving me a ratio of Pg/E2 of 38 when optimal is 100-500. I am estrogen dominate which means that I am not producing enough progesterone which is really messing me up.
No wonder I feel like crap, keep gaining weight and my thyroid is tanked, my Pg is low. My T3 levels are 2.3 pg/mL on a scale of 2.3-4.2, my T4 is a 1 ng/mL on a scale of 0.8-1.8, my reverse T3 is 21 ng/dL on a scale of 8-25 giving me a RT3 to T3 ratio of 10.95 when it should be at least 20 and above.
I have a bunch of other levels that are way low too and need the doc to explain to me how they are all related and which ones specifically to work on getting higher and which ones will just fall into place.
As much as I HATE that I have gained weight back after doing three rounds of HCG, I am trying to look at it as a blessing in disguise. I know that I have been hormonally off for quite a while (almost 7 years). The fact that I could lose on HCG but not keep it off when I was eating when hungry and stopping when satisfied and eating Paleo foods showed me that something was wrong. When I started doing the Leptin reset and CT and I was still gaining that really lead me to look into everything else much much deeper.
Robin Woodall�s Weight Loss Apocalypse, Dr Kruse and this site have hopefully saved me from another 10 years of hell. I have learned to eat when hungry and stop when satisfied and not eat XXX amount of calories because that is what the formulas have told me too. I have (hopefully) broke my exercise addiction and stopped using it as a way to punish myself for being fat. I do want to start working out again just to make sure that I am strong and I do love the endorphins but just cannot yet. I am learning that what size of pants I am in or what the scale says should NOT dictate my happiness (this is a tough one). I am loved and cherished by people who do not care what size I am.
I have been �off� for so many years now that it will take all the patience that I have to work on getting back to optimal since I want to be there NOW!!
Next blog will be about how the visit went and to say that I am nervous is an understatement after having seen 5 doctors and a PA�s who could not help me figure this out.

Glad you have found some answers! Hope it can be treated! I know that hormonal things can be qiute tricky and sometimes backfire.

Thank you for sharing your story. I have recently gone through the saliva testing and am on a low dose of several bio-identical hormones. I thought I would start losing weight but so far it is not happening and I am somewhat disappointed but now I see that something else might need to be tweaked. I won't give up. I'm glad you won't either. And I'm glad that you accept that you are loved no matter what!

Wow! This will be a major undertaking but it sounds like you are finally heading down the right path. What a relief!
You ever think of doing this for a living? You would be a wonderful advocate and guide for people who run into a brick wall with their weight loss and energy levels.

With just 27 words, the inimitable Ruth Krauss created a charming little universe.
Now Maurice Sendak has turned her bears into a troupe of players in a slapstick comedy starring a familiar boy in a wolf suit.
Ruth Krauss, a member of the experimental Writers Laboratory at the Bank Street School in New York City in the 1940s, imaginatively used humor and invented words to create some of the very first books for children that highlighted a childs inner life. She collaborated with some of the greatest illustrators in childrens literature, including Maurice Sendak and her husband, Crockett Johnson.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Lavender Heights for his birthday. I did not purchase the birthday special, but we reserved the Shannandoah room for two nights on a weekend. Bottom Line: everything was perfect. Neither of us had stayed at a B&B before, and Lavender Heights placed a high standard for any ones we may stay with in the future.
The breakfast foods were delicious. Our favorite was the stuffed french toast, which was divine. The breakfast experience itself is a warm and friendly affair; a true "home away from home." We ended up staying at the house for most of the time and it was a true pleasure.
The room was spacious with a wonderfully comfortable bed and the softest sheets I have ever slept in. My boyfriend, who has sleeping troubles on a regular basis, said he slept through the night on that bed. The level of detail that the innkeeper put in composing the room truly adds to the wonderment. From the fluffy bathrobes and towels, to the branded lavender milk (an incredible scented body lotion that we took with us) and other bathroom concessions; it was really comfortable. Not to mention the fully equipped T.V. that is perfectly positions to lay in the bed and watch! I could only wish for PPV, but you can order it if you wish. There's also a cool burial ground of people that lived in the house during the Civil War and on towards the back of the property.
The innkeeper herself is amazing. She's very interesting, friendly, and sweet. Her pleasant attitude really makes the place feel comfortable.
If you're looking to get away and lounge around with your mate or friends, this is place to stay in Fredericksburg.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Enjoy a luxurious, elegant experience on the heights above the city of Fredericksburg in the quiet village of Falmouth. Beautifully appointed rooms with comfortable beds and fluffy towels, soft bathrobes, artisan soaps, TV and Wi-fi. Perhaps a soaking tub to melt your cares away! A full, delicious breakfast will start your day in the Sun Room looking out over the gardens and koi pond. We are just a few minutes from Old Town, University of Mary Washington and Civil War battlefields. ... more less

8 month old with persistant croup like cough
Started by Matty's Mum , Apr 23 2012 11:25 AM
9 replies to this topic
Posted 23 April 2012 - 11:25 AM
Hi everyone,
My 8 month old DS had a cold 3 weeks ago and the symptoms went away after a week but the cough stayed and became worse. He was seen by a dr 1 week ago who said it was croup and could last anywhere up to 3 weeks.. however because DS is still quite happy in himself and is not having trouble with his bottles or breathing issues, he said to keep up neurofen and that was all. He then gave me a fact sheet on croup which i read later and it actually says croup should only last a few days, a week at the most!
Anyway after the doctor visit, DS cough has been getting worse by the day. To begin with it was really only noticeable at night but now he has nasty coughing fits all day and wakes up several times during the night. He has refused solids since he has been sick but dr said this isn't anything to worry about as long as he is keeping his bottles down.
Late saturday night he awoke and it seemed he was trying to cough but couldn't and turned bright red struggling for breath. When he was able to cough he threw up a lot of muck and was very upset. While all this was going on, OH was on the phone to a nurse on call who asked a million questions and after hearing DS cough she said it didn't sound like croup to her as it was too wet and to have him seen by a dr again within 4hrs.
So off we go to the local hospital where a nurse examines DS, who is of course now perfectly happy and has a good chat and giggle to the nurse, Nurse says everything is fine, yes the cough isn't very nice but his breathing was good, heart rate etc etc and decides not to call in a dr because in her opinion it was not an emergency but if we were to get concerned again, see a dr during the week.
So the coughing is still as bad as it was last week, DS is his normal happy self, still scoffing all of his bottles like usual, playing happily without an issue and you wouldnt know anything is wrong with him until he coughs.
So while I am waiting to find out if he can see our family GP today or tomorrow.. has anyone else had a bub with 'croup' that has lasted so long? and appears to not be getting any better?
Apologies for the ramble and if it doesn't make much sense.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 11:27 AM
When my daughter was nearly 1 and we thought she had persistent croup, it turned out to be whooping cough. I would suggest asking the doctor to test for that.
I hope your little one recovers quickly from whatever it is x
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:30 PM
Thankyou SarahPoppins,
I was under the impression that because my son is fully immunized, he cannot get whooping cough. Is this not the case?
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:36 PM
even if a child is fully immunised they can still get whooping cough, just not as serverly as an unimmunised child. I would be going to the doctor & asking for your ds to be tested
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:38 PM
sounds alot like whooping cough. My son was immunised and still got it.

ah ok, thankyou i wasn't aware of that.
DS will be seeing a GP tomorrow and I will be sure to ask about whooping cough
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:42 PM
The other possibility I think would be bronchiolitis. My son has had probably 5 or 6 bouts of it since he was born, he's now 14 months. Every time he's had it it will be particularly bad for the first 2 or 3 days, particularly at night time when he struggles to breathe, but the cough seems to linger for a week or two afterwards.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:47 PM
Let us know what you find out. Whooping Cough is doing the rounds and even vaccinated kids can get a mild dose
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:49 PM
I was gonna suggest bronchiolitis too if it's not whooping cough. If the coughing leads to some vomiting .. Definite indicator. DS had it at 4mths old. Ladt about 4-6wks. Ask GP to swab test for RSV virus which is what causes it.

My daughter was immunised and was still so so sick. I hate to think how bad she would have been if she hadn't been immunised
