DD has recently began a 2 nap routine since she can stay awake for 2.5 to 3 hours at a time. The only problem I'm having is that she is now taking her morning nap when all of my 2.5 year olds play dates and activities normally are. Now I feel like I never have time to get out and my ODS is so bored :( Anyone else going through this? Here's is what my day is like:
7:00 Wakes
7:30 Breakfast
8:00 Get Dressed
8:30-9:30 Free-time
9:30-11:00 DD naps
11:00-12:30 Free-time
1:30-3:30 ODS + DD nap
3:30-5:00 Free-time
5:30 Eat dinner
7:00 DD bedtime
8:00 ODS bedtime

Dinner & a Movie: Living the High Life With Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man 2""/>
The Dinner: Grilled Cheese Sandwich and an IPA at Paddy Coyne's (1190 Thomas St.).
Francois Duhamel Paltrow, Downey Jr., Rockwell and Christine Everhart jet over to Monaco.
The Movie: Iron Man 2, at Pacific Place (600 Pine St.).
The Screenplate: When the first Iron Man came out in April of 2008, the times were more in tune with Robert Downey Jr.'s cocky billionaire weapons designer Tony Stark. He was a playboy who, after replacing his heart with a miniature atomic reactor, actually grew a heart. The comic-book adaptation, directed by John Favreau, was cheerful and light. It was a huge, deserved hit, grossing around $300 million by the year's end. But by that time, of course, the country had plunged into a recession. Today, as the sequel arrives, Tony Stark seems like a creature from a very different era. He's still rich, still smug, still attracts beautiful women (Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow), still swats down his rivals (Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell), still lives in a Malibu mansion stuffed full of expensive toys and exotic cars. And though Downey Jr. is just as confident and charming as in the first Iron Man, the character of Stark is not the kind of guy you'd want to meet for a burger and beers...Stark was born in 1963 to the Marvel Comics stable of superheroes, with Stan Lee his father. His Cold War birth date roughly coincides with the JFK Camelot era now so popular on Mad Men. Cocktails and narrow lapels were de rigueur. Glam and the high life were something we all aspired to--to live like Jackie, James Bond, and Cary Grant. America was on an economic bender that would last another decade, until OPEC, Vietnam, and the recession. Stark, as Iron Man, was very much a space age hero--packaged in steel and transistors, more high-tech than the Apollo astronauts, and a defender of American freedoms.
But today, well, Stark comes across almost like an asshole. He's a rich prick, Trumpian in his self-regard. "I've privatized world peace," he boasts to a Senate panel (led by the very amusing Garry Shandling). He won't cooperate with the feds; he's rude his best buddy in the military (Don Cheadle, replacing Terrence Howard); and he continues to neglect his girl Friday, Pepper Potts (Paltrow). Where's the humility? Unlike tormented Bruce Wayne (i.e. Batman) the guy seems to have no inner life, no self-doubt, only a few daddy issues. Iron Man is his favorite topic, his brand, his product, his reason for being. Without villains to bruise him occasionally, he'd be a pompous bore.
Paddy Coyne's is a different sort of franchise--and a decidedly cheaper one. With two other locations in Bellevue and Tacoma, it's an echt olde timey Gaelic bar located in the base of a new apartment building in Paul Allen's new SLU neighborhood. In truth, Iron Man (the comic) has a much longer history. Still, the place is cheerful and unpretentious, with TVs on the walls, a fireplace in the bar, a patio outside, and several dogs usually tied outside the front door (with fresh water bowl and a metal canine sculpture for company). Also, it's an affordable, regular guy's watering hole, which means Tony Stark and his $5,000 suits would never be caught dead in the place. Sure, you can go upmarket with the cocktails, but Paddy Coyne's is a joint for Guinness and fish and chips. Dinner for four didn't break $70 (tip included), and we had food to spare.
My Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($8.95) was tasty, but hardly ultimate. Really, how much more do you need than cheese, toast, bacon, and tomatoes? Also at the table, the basic cheeseburger ($9.95), fish and chips ($12.25), and bowl of potato-leek soup ($5.95) had all the same straightforward appeal. Half the burger and several fistfuls of fries remained to be boxed up for home. (Though we missed happy hour, there are two: 4-6 p.m. and 10 p.m.-1 a.m.)
Iron Man 2 would benefit from some of the same economy. The film jets over to the Monaco Grand Prix just because, well, it'll help the film in Europe. (And there was probably a consideration fee paid. Just like Audi, just like all the weighty luxury watches Tony Stark wears and mentions.) Stark backslaps fellow titans of tech, including Larry Ellison (Oracle) and Elon Musk (the Tesla electric car guy). It's as if the studio (Paramount) and director (again Favreau, again playing Stark's valet and chauffeur) have no sense how little esteem we poor ticket buyers now have for that preening crowd. (What, no Goldman Sachs cameos?) Weirdly, the film's designated evil billionaire (Rockwell) is the most fun to watch precisely because he knows he's evil; in come ways, he's got more inner life than Stark.
He's also more concerned with value: It's simpler and cheaper to steal Iron Man's technology from Stark (whose father may've stolen it in the first place). To a degree, our hero is aware of his profligate flamboyance; when Johansson's character calls him a narcissist, he cheerfully agrees. Yet his blithe wastefulness grates. The scene that brought it home for me in Iron Man 2 occurs when Stark stops at a strawberry stand for some fruit. Lacking a wallet--because only little people carry cash--he trades one of his giant watches for the berries. Later, when Pepper can't eat them, he just dumps the fresh fruit in the trash.
Still, the movie has its virtues. Iron Man 2 aspires to be little more than light summer entertainment, much as Paddy Coyne's aspires to be little more than an ersatz old pub. However many millions were spent on CG effects (as Iron Man battles not one but two other tin-suited warriors), the film is more enjoyable when the unarmored actors have room to banter. You want to see more of Downey Jr. and Rockwell tossing insults back and forth at the bar. Paltrow has no character to play beyond the good girl, but you wish she had more lines. And though Johansson isn't as capable with her lines, she deports herself nicely in a skintight ninja outfit--sashaying and karate chopping security goons with unruffled aplomb. (It's so much nicer to see the actual performers, not their digital avatars.) Only Rourke comes off the real loser: His vengeful long-haired Russian physicist Ivan Vanko looks like a tattooed extra from Eastern Promises, swallowing his consonants and mumbling about his lost pet bird when he's not typing madly at the computer. He belongs in a different movie, as does Samuel L. Jackson, who drops by to pimp another Marvel spin-off presumably in development, Nick Fury. (If that gets made, Johansson will likely be in it, too.)
Since superhero movies tend to come in threes, we can look forward to a third Iron Man in another couple years. Before then, however, your money will be better spent at Paddy Coyne's. Tell them Tony Stark didn't send you.

Five For Friday: Five Thoughts About The Auto Industry For December 21, 2012
It's Friday once again, which means it's time for another round of my Five For Friday: Five Thoughts about the Auto Industry for December 21, 2012. Infiniti goes Q, Ford pushes for more efficient trucks, the return of the VW Routan, the Lincoln MKC, and intrigue between Hyundai and the Blue Oval - let's look at my take on the most noteworthy and interesting automotive stories from the past week.
Five For Friday: Five Thoughts About The Auto Industry For December 21, 2012
01. Infiniti's Q Confusion
Infiniti made a surprising announcement this week that it would be renaming all current and future vehicles using a homogenous scheme centered around the letter Q. More specifically, all sedans, coupes and convertibles will be labeled Q, while crossovers and SUVs will be known as QX. Two digit numbers will be appended to the letter in order to denote the specific model, with the QX80 (the former QX56) representing the top of the SUV range and the Q70 (the former M sedan) sitting at the top of the passenger car heap.
Infiniti claims that its previous naming convention, which used a combination of letters to denote model and numbers to advertise engine size, was too confusing for buyers who were unable to situate a vehicle's position in the company's lineup. The backlash against what seems to be an almost random move that adds a touch of blandness to an otherwise exciting stable of cars has been strong, but Infiniti has stood its ground and defended the action via Facebook posts and press releases. The new names go into effect for all 2014 models.
Five For Friday: Five Thoughts About The Auto Industry For December 21, 2012
02. Ford Aims For More MPGs With 2015 F-150 - But Does It Matter?
The Automotive News is reporting that Ford is pushing hard to improve the fuel mileage of the next generation of Ford F-150 full-size pickups when they hit the market as 2015 models. $2 billion of investment will in part help Ford engineers achieve what they hope will be 'best in class' fuel efficiency, through a combination of lightweight materials use and small-displacement turbocharged engines.
Are truck buyers actually interested in the pursuit of fuel economy above all else? Despite their popular image as plus-size daily drivers, pickups are often purchased as task-focused machines, and if fuel mileage is prioritized above capability, then truck shoppers will look elsewhere. Ford would like to squeeze an additional three miles per gallon out of its most frugal F-150 model. It remains to be seen whether customers will notice - or even care - when it comes time to trade in their old F-Series trucks for the latest and greatest.
Five For Friday: Five Thoughts About The Auto Industry For December 21, 2012
03. One More Year Of Routan?
Just when everyone thought that the Volkswagen Routan, the perfect example of all that is wrong with badge engineering on a global scale, would be put out to pasture, it turns out that the VW-by-way-of-Dodge minivan has been granted an 11th hour reprieve. Volkswagen has elected to resume Volkswagen Routan production next summer, despite facing general disinterest on the part of customers in the United States who have rather easily detected that the Routan is simply a subtly re-styled Grand Caravan without the bonus of Stow 'n Go seating. Speculation is that Volkswagen is simply seeking to add the Routan's small sales figures to its overall totals as it attempts to push forward in its quest to snag the title of world's largest automaker.
Five For Friday: Five Thoughts About The Auto Industry For December 21, 2012
04. Lincoln To Introduce New Compact Crossover
Lincoln isn't finished introducing new products, as hot on the heels of the Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln MKS sedans comes the announcement that new entry-level crossover will be presented by the premium brand at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. The vehicle, which will be sold as the Lincoln MKC, will borrow heavily from the new Ford Escape compact crossover, sharing its basic platform, and it will also most likely offer a choice of two four-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost engines. Presumably, the Lincoln MKC would go up against vehicles like the Buick Encore and the Acura RDX.
Five For Friday: Five Thoughts About The Auto Industry For December 21, 2012
05. Did Ford Rat Out Hyundai?
An interesting twist in the Hyundai/Kia fuel economy fiasco from last month has been unearthed by an Automotive News story that claims Margo Oge, the former head of the EPA branch responsible for verifying the fuel mileage figures advertised by automakers operating in the U.S. market, received a 'tip' from another car company that Hyundai and Kia were perhaps not being as honest as they could be about their 40-mpg claims. Oge confirmed the that she had been contacted by a senior executive from a domestic brand, but she would not be more specific about the source. So far, Chrysler and General Motors have denied involvement, leaving only Ford to twist in the wind with essentially a 'no comment' statement that was intriguingly capped off with the acknowledgement that the automaker 'routinely speaks with policymakers.'

Last year at this time, I interviewed Chef Jason Wilson for an Edible Seattle article about sex and food, exploring the idea that diners' eating preferences can predict what kind of sex lives they have. In discussing variety, he mentioned that some people come to Crush for 6-course or 12-course tasting menus, while some simply order the short ribs each and every time.
Remarkably, I never had those renowned short ribs--until three weeks ago. I'd always been attracted to other menu items, but this time those ribs made their way into my tasting menu.
As always, Wilson's food was wonderful, from the gorgeous gougères that start every meal to the cherried chocolate cake that provided a sweet finish. The hamachi crudo was sexy and seductive. As for the short ribs? It was love at first bite, a melt-in-your-mouth experience of deep, intense flavor that caressed and comforted me, and was the most memorable part of a perfect meal.
So what does Crush's tasting menu teach us about sex?It's all about giving up control and responsibility.
Don't me wrong: As a sex educator, I'm always stressing the need to keep control (of your situation) and to take responsibility for your actions. But with a tasting menu, you give up control and abdicate responsibility from menu selection. It's a lot like ordering omakase at a sushi restaurant. You're basically telling the chef, "I trust you, so I'm putting myself in your hands to just feed me what you'd like."
Sometimes a tasting menu is already spelled out, but when it's not (or if you request a tasting menu even though you don't see it advertised), the chef will typically ask if there's anything you don't eat or that you especially want. Then it's all up to the chef, who's now in control. In exchange, you're likely to discover something new--and hopefully appealing.
It's the same with sex. Sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone to get turned on, aroused, stimulated.
In the article, Wilson talks about ruts and routines, positing, "Maybe the ones who have the short ribs and a glass of the cabernet every time are the missionaries, and maybe the ones who do the tasting menus are the swingers."
When I followed up, asking him if people find comfort in both food and sex, he responded "Yeah, some people like what they like. It's missionary, it's three minutes, and it's done--then you roll over and go to sleep, and it's like: What the hell happened to my life?"
Well, what happened to me is that I had those short ribs, and now I can sort of see why some people want them each and every time. Maybe eating them was my way of (re)discovering the missionary position. Or maybe there are just many missionary positions--the ones we know, and the ones we've yet to discover. After all, while I'm not a swinger, it took a tasting menu to expand my horizons of pleasure, and that process will surely continue in the future. As it should for you.

Michele Bachmann Has No Understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment Argument
Obama would have the power to unilaterally collect taxes? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
Even though President Obama has denied that he's considering the possibility of ignoring the debt ceiling based on a friendly reading of the fourteenth amendment, the speculation about using such a last-ditch tactic won't go away. Yesterday, South Carolina's James Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, urged Obama to invoke the fourteenth amendment if Congress fails to reach an agreement on the debt ceiling. And today, Michele Bachmann (who, indefensibly, has vowed not to vote to raise the debt ceiling under any conditions) chimed in about the dangers of invoking the fourteenth amendment, as she understands it:
"Congress has the power to lay and collect taxes. It's Congress that does the spending. The president is prohibited to do that. If he had the power to do that he would effectively be a dictator. There would be no reason for Congress to even come into Washington, D.C. He would be making the spending decisions. He would be making the taxing decisions."
Oh ... what? Proponents of the fourteenth amendment strategy would merely have Obama ignore the debt ceiling so that the federal government can spend the money that Congress has already authorized it to spend, in the exact way that Congress authorized the federal government to spend it. When did anyone propose giving Obama the power to unilaterally collect taxes? Is Michele Bachmann paying attention to the debt-ceiling debate at all, or did she just memorize some talking points a few months ago and then tune out?

Weekend road accidents claim five lives
Five people were killed and five more were injured, two seriously, in five traffic accidents over the weekend.
At about midnight on Thursday, a car slid off the Be'er Sheva-Dimona road, flipping and killing both occupants.
The police have ordered an autopsy in order to confirm their identities. Early Friday morning, five passengers in a car in Be'er Sheva were injured, two seriously, when the driver attempted to make a left turn without yielding to a semitrailer in the opposite lane.
On Friday afternoon a pedestrian, Gabriel Uzon, was struck and killed on the spot by a cement mixer as he was crossing a street in Ashdod. The accident is under investigation.
Meanwhile, a passenger, Hassin al-Uzma, was killed when the driver lost control of his vehicle and overturned late Friday night at Ohelim Junction, near Ramat Hovav in the Negev.
The driver sustained moderate injuries.
Also, a 28-year-old man from Harish died of injuries sustained in an accident on Route 574 between Barkai Junction and Baka al-Garbiyeh early Friday morning. He had been riding with a driver whose license was suspended due to previous traffic offenses, police said. The driver veered off the road and collided with a safety barrier. Police suspect he may have been drinking.

Good Entry Level Network Cam
This review is from: Belkin NetCam F7D7602, Wi-Fi 720P HD IP Camera w/ Night Vision, Easy mobile-device setup
Pros: *Good Video Quality
Cons: *Horrible Setup Process!!
Other Thoughts: First, if you can get over the setup process the device works quite well. You have to connect to the device and then hope that the device prompts you to create an account. Otherwise, you'll never see the option to create an account and get this camera to work. Not a very intuitive interface or process. I've been remoting into this camera on my travels regularly and have been very impressed with its performance & up time. Good Entry Level Camera... worth a look.

Belkin NetCam F7D7602
This review is from: Belkin NetCam F7D7602, Wi-Fi 720P HD IP Camera w/ Night Vision, Easy mobile-device setup
Pros: The Belkin NetCam is a simple HD WiFi netcam that is designed around smartphone or tablet use, but is also accessible from a web browser. The box contains the netcam, power cord, mounting kit, and quick install guide. The camera is white plastic and rounded edges. Setup was easy using an Android Devices (Galaxy Tab 3) by installing the Belkin NetCam app, plugging in, setting a switch, connected to a WiFi signal, then launching the app to complete the setup and flipping the switch back. It took just a few minutes to be up and running.
Cons: On the Android app, it did not simply show up in my gallery and I did need to search for it in Belkin NetCam on the sdcard. The MP4 files are small, but appear to be less smooth and more pixelated than streaming. Don't have the expectation to make smooth videos at high resolution, as mentioned in other reviews, thus this is probably not the camera that you want to use for a recording purpose. For simple live viewing it fares much better.
Other Thoughts: It isn't clear what would happen if Belkin shutdown the service or stopped providing the app.

Just Average
This review is from: Belkin NetCam F7D7602, Wi-Fi 720P HD IP Camera w/ Night Vision, Easy mobile-device setup
Pros: This Net Cam from Belkin is a really streamlined unit. I like the simple setup (one power cable) and one button in the back. It has a nice weight and balance, and has no problem being set in various places and holding steady. The belkin netcam app works very well and provides a good method for viewing the camera images from anywhere.
Cons: You have to have an iPhone or Droid to setup this camera. Setup is relatively simple, but if you're not familiar with your phone (ie setting up wireless, downloading apps, etc) you'll struggle a bit getting it going. Once the app is installed and setup the camera you can login to belkin.com website and view the web camera's stream on any computer – that's when the problems begin.
Other Thoughts: This net cam really only shines for those who want to view it via their iphone or droid. I personally tested on a droid based nexus 5 and had a flawless experience. However, due to privacy concerns, I would never own this camera. There are other solutions out there which don't require you to connect to belkin.com proprietary and self-hosted system.

Lets try finishing the product before selling it...
This review is from: Belkin NetCam F7D7602, Wi-Fi 720P HD IP Camera w/ Night Vision, Easy mobile-device setup
Pros: The setup was simple and straight forward, mostly, and requires little tech knowledge. The image quality was much better than I expected allowing me to see good detail.
Cons: First the DC jack on the device is on the top corner making it top heavy if not mounting on a wall. The next setup issue is configuration. YOU MUST USE A TABLET OR PHONE and connect to the camera's UNSECURED wifi network which provides a live feed. No PC or Mac, you must use a mobile device running their app. You can only create a netcam account while connected to the camera and after you configured it to connect to your wireless AP. This means that account creation goes from your phone, to the camera, then to the internet.
Other Thoughts: You really get the sense that this product is unfinished, that they rushed it out figuring they would finish things later.

Great camera - decent software
This review is from: Belkin NetCam F7D7602, Wi-Fi 720P HD IP Camera w/ Night Vision, Easy mobile-device setup
Pros: The camera is incredibly simple to setup: you toggle a switch, connect via wifi, complete a few steps and you're done. It couldn't be easier. It comes with mounting screws for permanent wall mounting and the camera itself is extremely easy to position/reposition as desired.
Cons: The app is sometimes flakey and crashes every so often. In addition, the feed sometimes suffers from rubber banding -- in that the feed will pause and then advance quickly to catch up to live -- as if there is a streaming/buffering issue that has not been resolved. While this is to be expected in live streams, the frequency of occurrence is still greater than desirable. It occurs on wifi, LTE, and 4G streams with more than sufficient bandwidth. This is not unique to only the video feed, as talk back through the camera's speaker is sometimes choppy or doesn't come through at all. As a result, it seems there are some minor issues with the link that still need perfecting.
Other Thoughts: A firmware update was issued prior to receiving the device that appears to have resolved some early issues with feeds and streaming. It appears the performance has improved but some bugs still exist. I did not personally encounter any issues connecting to the device -- only with the rate of transmit which was on networks with sufficient bandwidth to not cause issues. I thought this was a 5-star product, but due to the issues bugs/imperfections with streaming and the app crashing, it was clear this is a good product that just needs a little more maturing to be great. Still, I enthusiastically recommend.

Don't waste your money
This review is from: Belkin NetCam F7D7602, Wi-Fi 720P HD IP Camera w/ Night Vision, Easy mobile-device setup
Pros: Setup is pretty easy and works well. I should know since I've had to do it five times now.
Cons: Most of the time when I log on to the web interface to see the camera, I hit refresh and it eventually shows up but I then click on it to view the feed and after a few minutes of waiting, I'm told that I can't connect to it. Occasionally I am able to connect to it but after viewing for ten or fifteen minutes, the connection drops and the camera disappears and won't show back up until I go through setup again.
Other Thoughts: Don't buy this. My office is in a basement and I purchased this to put near a window on the 2nd floor so I could see what's going on outside. Since I'm unable to connect most of the time or I'm disconnected quickly after finally being able to connect, it's useless to me.

The problem of pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is worsening, demonstrating the urgent need for new therapeutics that are effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria. One potential class of substances is cationic antimicrobial peptides. More than 1000 natural occurring peptides have been described so far. These peptides are short (less than 50 amino acids long), cationic, amphiphilic, demonstrate different three-dimensional structures, and appear to have different modes of action. A new screening assay was developed to characterize and optimize short antimicrobial peptides. This assay is based on peptides synthesized on cellulose, combined with a bacterium, where a luminescence gene cassette was introduced. With help of this method tens of thousands of peptides can be screened per year. Information gained by this high-throughput screening can be used in quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) analysis. QSAR analysis attempts to correlate chemical structure to measurement of biological activity using statistical methods. QSAR modeling of antimicrobial peptides to date has been based on predicting differences between peptides that are highly similar. The studies have largely addressed differences in lactoferricin and protegrin derivatives or similar de novo peptides. The mathematical models used to relate the QSAR descriptors to biological activity have been linear models such as principle component analysis or multivariate linear regression. However, with the development of high-throughput peptide synthesis and an antibacterial activity assay, the numbers of peptides and sequence diversity able to be studied have increased dramatically. Also, "inductive" QSAR descriptors have been recently developed to accurately distinguish active from inactive drug-like activity in small compounds. "Inductive" QSAR in combination with more complex mathematical modeling algorithms such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) may yield powerful new methods for in silico identification of novel antimicrobial peptides.

My JB who is 4 on 6/19 is 43 inches tall! Given,I'm 5'9" and DH is somewhere just over 6ft.. 6'2", maybe? so i didnt expect her to be "normal" height but I'm thinking this is freakishly tall for a kid this age- shes taller than her 6 year old boy cousin! In a group of Kindergarteners she doesnt stand out as being younger in any way at all.
maybe I'm wrong though and this isnt so freakishly tall lol... how tall is everyone else?

How many of you get home health care? What did you have to do to qualify? I was just wondering because some people in my family think I should try to get it. I'm not really sure if I want it.
home health care
Comments (10)
By home health care, do you mean a nurse? Aiden used to have weekly nurse visits for a while, but nothing that would allow me to leave the house. I wish I could get it, but I don't know where to start and I am not sure that Aiden would qualify. It would be interesting to see what other's say.
Melanie -Mother to 3 wonderful boys!! Ethan 3/21/00 (ADHD), Ashton 6/13/04, Aiden 1/12/07(TAPVR, ASD, PDA, Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, G-tube fed)
Yes, I meant a nurse. I know my daughter would qualify based on her needs which really isn't that much. I just talked to a home health nurse who said I would qualify and that I just need to talk to my daughter's case manager. She said I would probably qualify for at least 16 to 20 hours a month if not more. I was surprised and my first instinct was to say no. Then I thought that maybe I could use the time. I homeschool my boys and it would be nice to go on a field trip once a month and get a break for a few hours. We never go anywhere because of the germs and Annie's strict feeding schedule. We can't even go to church as a family. Someone always has to stay home with her.
I have to admit I am getting really burned out. I don't know if I'm just getting depressed or what. Sometimes just taking care of her is overwhelming, but really she's not that hard. I'm lucky she is even alive. I don't know what my problem is. I think its normal to get into a slump every once and a while. I'm just not sure a nurse is the answer. I just wanted to know what others think and how they like it.
Our insurace has approved DS for up to 12 hours a week of home health nursing, although we've never used it. The home health company was a no-show the first time, then played phone tag for a while, but we finally gave up. We needed help getting the whole set up worked into our household routine, and once taht was done we didn't need her.
However, DS has recently qualified for Medicaid (a whole other story that makes me livid - we had to get on it to get a qualified occupational therapist to see DS at all - AT ALL! ARGH!!!) and they say DS qualifies for 37 hours a week of respite care. I was flabbergasted. I thought it would be something like 5 hours a month or so. 37 hours a week is daycare! We haven't used the Medicaid for anything, since DS goes to a great daycare, we have a great regular babysitter when needed in the evening, and our medical insurance is paying for whatever else he needs.
Both of those are based on the g-tube only - not his other issues.
On anoterh note, it seems like you have a lot of really huge loads on your shoulders alone. I think it is important for you to get a break, and a significant one (a day a week, maybe). Women have always had help from one source or another to care for their children, because constantly supervising and caring for children is very stressful. Add to that the demands of lesson planning and special needs and you have a mighty big load.
Good luck, and keep your head up.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. ~~Winston Churchill
New here but I felt a need to respond. My son has a nurse and I dont know what we would have done without one (I am a single mom to a special boy). We are lucky to have found a good agency and a wonderful nurse who is like family to us. Initially we went through about 8-10 nurses before we found the right fit and this is our 3rd agency so be careful when picking but it is definitely worth it for us. At least check with some agencies and if it doesnt work for you you can always cancel it .

We actually qualify for 80 hours of nursing a week but I feel weird having someone come watch Carter while I am sleeping so we are just putting stuff together to get 3 8 hour shifts during the week. We can't send him to daycare so I am glad they have this option so I don't lose my job.
I just got a call from an RN from our insurance talking with me about Aiden's last hospital stay. I asked her about having a nurse and she says we would have to prove that the nurses skill would be needed. Well, I said he is j tube fed and has meds would that qualify? She said I would have to talk with them. He has a CHD that was repaired, but still requires a little maintance medications.
If you all don't mind me asking, but what are you child's diagnosis/ medical history that allows them to qualify? How did you find out they qualified for nursing hours?
Melanie -Mother to 3 wonderful boys!! Ethan 3/21/00 (ADHD), Ashton 6/13/04, Aiden 1/12/07(TAPVR, ASD, PDA, Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, G-tube fed)
Carter has the g tube and has high blood pressure requiring medication. He also does not seem to tolerate the pump so we have to do round the clock bolus feedings. He is on SSI because of his low birthweight and also medical assitance. The insurance company was the one that suggested the in home nursing care. We have to provide proof that both me and my husband work full time. The thought is that he is not well enough to be in a daycare so we need skilled nursing help.
Basically, the home health nurse said I would qualify based on her G-tube and need for overnight feeds. She is on 3 different medications that she takes three times a day. I also feed her every three hours during the day. I try to feed her table foods and then give her 2 oz pediasure. If she doesn't finish it, I bolus the pediasure by gravity. Like I said, she really doesn't have that many needs. Here are her diagnosis....absent pulmonary valve, anuerysmal pulmonary arteries, ASD with bidirectional shunt, tricuspid regurgitation, non-compacted R ventricle, enlarged ascending aorta, reflux, failure to thrive, and I think that's it. Her heart failure is under control and she has no developmental delays. She does have sensory issues but I don't think they are that bad other than the fact that she doesn't want to eat sometimes.
I think the only reason why I am considering it is for my other children. They have sacrificed a lot for her. We can't afford a car payment so we only have one vehicle. So I homeschool my son because I have no way to get him to and from school. It would also bring more germs in the house and mess up Annie's feeding/nap schedule to have him go to school. So it would be nice to get out once a month and go on a field trip. It would also be nice to get a school project done. We have a busing system in our little town that we could use or we would just walk or ride our bikes.
I am a nurse and so I know the nurses who would be taking care of her. It would be like one of my friends coming over so that's not a big deal. But that is also why I don't really need nursing care....hello I'm a nurse! I just feel really guilty even considering it. Really what I think is funny is that while I worked full time, we couldn't afford her medical care. Her private insurance would not pay for home health (among other things) and so I would work all night and try to stay awake during the day. It didn't work out so well as you can imagine. Now that I only work very part time, I qualify for home health since she has a medical card. It's kind of funny how that works out.
It would also be nice to get someone to help because I have a lot of trainings for work coming up. My sister will have 7 children 8 and under. As you can imagine, Annie won't get the care she needs on those days. If she misses even one feeding, she tends not to gain any weight that week. It just stresses me out and makes me feel bad.
Honestly, I just feel guilty even considering it. I don't know what I want to do.
I agree, Aiden has 2 older brothers. I really feel bad for them when I am spending so much time caring for Aiden and when he is in and out of the hospital, dr appts, continual vomiting. Life was so much different for them before Aiden. I also feel guilty not having enough time for them. I would accept nursing if the insurance would cover it, I think it is important for us mom's to get a break!
Melanie -Mother to 3 wonderful boys!! Ethan 3/21/00 (ADHD), Ashton 6/13/04, Aiden 1/12/07(TAPVR, ASD, PDA, Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, G-tube fed)
It is absolutely crucial for us moms to get a break. Using the nursing care would not make you a bad person, or a bad mom.
About qualifying, the only one of DS's issues that qualifies him is his g-tube. The medications, HBP, CHD, etc. are not considered qualifying. the basic rule for it is that he wouldn't qualify to ahve someone come in to watch him sleep, but does qualify for "respite care," which is specifically to give the parents or other caregivers a break. Think (barely) glorified babysitting.

Two Seattle chicken icons are now peddling poultry from neighboring locations in Renton.
Ezell's Famous Chicken last November opened a store near the city's Civic
Two Seattle chicken icons are now peddling poultry from neighboring locations in Renton.
Ezell's Famous Chicken last November opened a store near the city's Civic Theater. A month later, Toshi Kasahara opened a teriyaki joint next door.
"We're kind of happy together," Kasahara says. "They serve fried chicken and we serve teriyaki chicken."
Kasahara, identified as the grandaddy of local teriyaki in former Weekly critic Jonathan Kauffman's teriyaki opus, in 1976 opened Toshi's Teriyaki Restaurant on Lower Queen Anne. He ultimately built a revolving empire around his distinctive sauce of sugar, soy and chicken juice, opening and selling teriyaki shops. He later franchised Toshi's, creating a string of restaurants across the city. But six years ago, Kasahara decided he was done with chicken. "I was so tired of it; it was time to quit," he told Kauffman. He decided to focus on real estate.
As the real estate market soured, Kasahara's sons pestered him to start cooking again.
"They've got a good marketing strategy, so I'm excited," Kasahara says.
There are sandwiches on the menu at Toshi's Teriyaki Grill, but the Kasaharas are otherwise sticking to the business model Toshi Kasahara pioneered 35 years ago.
"We keep the low price," Kasahara says. "And, of course, you got to keep it clean. There are a lot of teriyaki places, but their prices are so high. I believe they're not doing the best job, I feel."
At Toshi's Teriyaki Grill, a chicken teriyaki plate costs $4.75.
"We wanted to give our customers real bargain deals," Kasahara says.
Toshi's Teriyaki Grill is located at 509 S. Third St., Suite A, in Renton.

Why do all the hot ghosts have to be morally deprived?
Aside from the hand, I think there's something off putting with their noses.
Cute, but I'm honestly a bit confused by the look of Desiree's hand.

The top two ghost ladies of Danny Phantom!!
Gotta have Desiree.
Hey, MY wish came true!
It's a damn difficult pose indeed, mainly due to the style.

AURORA — Winning the Class 5A state championship in football can seem like big business.
Ask the Cherokee Trail Cougars, who lost the title game a year ago to Valor Christian and will host the parochial power Eagles this weekend in the semifinals.
"Valor is the U.S. Steel of high school football here, but we're a bit more than a startup company," said Cougars coach Monte Thelen.
Cherokee Trail opened the season by losing to Chatfield on the final play of the game. The Cougars also lost by a point to Cherry Creek in the Centennial League to fall somewhat off the radar.
With the two losses, Thelen said, "That was our fault, you deserve to be off the radar. But this is our fourth semifinal in seven years. I think we're back on it."
Only two weekends and 12 games remain in the season and the next Trail vs. Valor game — undefeated Fairview plays at ThunderRidge in the other 5A semifinal — is one that has been anticipated.
"We can't wait," said Cougars junior linebacker Izaiah Lottie. "We've been waiting all year, almost 365 days."
In 2012, Valor Christian won its fourth consecutive state championship. The Eagles won the 3A title in 2009 and 4A titles in 2010 and 2011. Over five seasons, the Eagles are 62-6 and have a 20-game win streak in the playoffs. Valor beat the Cougars 9-0 last year for the title at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
"We know second chances don't come easy," said Jacob Martin, a Cherokee Trail defensive lineman and linebacker. "I think we'll take their challenge."
Martin said he respects Valor star running back Christian McCaffrey (the state's all-time leader in touchdowns and points) as well as the Eagles' offensive front and their defense.
"But we're playing well," Martin said.
The Cougars, who lost 28-27 to Cherry Creek on Oct. 4, beat the Bruins 27-14 in the quarterfinals last week. According to Thelen, it's the first time Cherokee Trail, which opened in 2003, lost to a team in the regular season and won a rematch in the playoffs.
"When you hit those moments, those firsts, it's a big deal," the coach said.
Thelen, in acknowledging Cherry Creek and Valor are on the same side of the playoff bracket, said: "What we really felt is that we were going to have to beat Creek and Valor to win it. And we're probably playing them a round too early each than we really wanted to."
