I just went for a walk by a house in terrible shape. The weeds are really high. It was for sale for a long time but now there is nothing there. I noticed a notice on the door that this house has been deemed abandoned and will be entered. Also it said the mosquito infested pool with West Nile Virus was treated with mosquito eating fish. What? That is crazy. No wonder there are so many mosquitos around. I hope we are all safe.

Great now we have problems. Gingivitis has spread to my whole family. This is a major bummer. Not only is it very expensive to treat but it is something that then stays with you forever. If I had to do it over again I would be much more careful. I guess it is really all my fault. This bacteria spreads easily between family members. Fortunately it is not bad in the kids.

My 7 month old daughter is now refusing baby food. She continues to nurse but I do not mean that she refuses food. No she just refuses baby food. She wants adult or toddler food and insists on feeding herself. I am amazed that she is so advanced. She wants crackers and mac and cheese and whatever her brother is eating.

My family and I just spent a wonderful trip at my sister’s house. We went swimming in her private pool. We have been avoiding public pools recently because of a health scare with a form of bacteria in the public waters. The city closed down many of the pools. They are chlorinating to fix the issue but it just makes me nervous.

My son hates the doctor. I am not really sure why. He just always had. We can talk about it calmly but once he gets into the office he starts crying until we leave. He must remember the shots or something. I hope this is a temporary fear.

Can you imagine if you were diagnosed with Breast Cancer but were unable to get insurance? Well that is just what happened to Holly from HollysFund.com. I can not imagine how terrible this would be. Please read Holly’s story and donate to her or to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

My 7 month old Baby has been pale for the last three days. There is no fever, eating is mainly normal with slightly less appetite followed by normal appetite. Bowel movements are normal. Temperament is normal although on the calmer side. The only other thing is that she appears slightly tired in the eyes but stays awake as normal and plays and laughs still. What could this be? I will probably take her to the doctor soon but this is very strange indeed. Any ideas?

In my previous post on the Mysterious Toddler Limp, I discussed the somewhat common and somewhat uncommon circumstances and situations of a limp in toddlers and how to carefully watch for improvement as well as when to seek medical advice.
Keith Moon responded by sharing his story of how the Mysterious Toddler Limp was caused by a Stroke. Here is my response to him and seen also in the comments.
Keith,
Thank you for sharing your story. My heart and my prayers go out to you. It is definitely an indication that the limp began after the viral infection. I understand the uncertainty and the worry that you must have gone through. I am glad your sun is improving and hopefully he will make a full recovery.

I am so frustrated! I took my son to the doctor to get his cast off and I was told that the bones were not yet fully healed. We were all excited and now he has to keep his cast on for another two weeks. We are crushed and I have no idea how we will get through the next two weeks. I barely made it this far. Sigh.

It seems like the medical billing world is one of the most incompetent and fraudulent. Even the simplest of claims that is obviously covered is tied up in red tape and paperwork with everything hinging on a daisy change of process and procedures that always fail and always pass the blame. It has to be one of the most frustrating things. It is sad that this is so unreliable and you can not be nice when dealing with these people.
