I am posting because I cannot stop freaking out. My partner and I do not qualify but our young baby daughter is becoming eligible. This is because I am now going down to 30 hours a week and my husband has been down to 35 hours a week. We just barely make the cut off for her to be eligible. Before this we paid 200 monthly for a state plan. However our income fluctuates and I might work 32 or 34 hours some weeks, my partner may work up to 40 hours at some point, but we always end up making far lower than their estimate. For this reason I reported our hours on the lower side. After I called to tell them the change, I remember that I am working 2 Saturdays this month to cover someone else and th

When seeing an energy healer in the past she stated that I am very "open", spiritually. She said this while we were talking about smoking weed and that it makes sense I wouldn't like doing it in public because of how open I am. What exactly does that mean? How can I be less open! Things do effect me very strongly at times.

Does anybody have experience with a child completely missing Glud1 gene? She has 10q22.3-q23.2 deletiom syndrome but it extends to include glud1. She is now going to have to see an endocrinologist on top of all of the specialists she already sees. Any info I try to find on this is simply mouse studies or humans with MUTATIONS but no one actually missing the gene. they are testing her for hyperinsulinemia/hyperammonia. Any insight or articles greatly appreciated.

Just diagnosed our child. Can't find anything online and just wondering. Pretty lost.

I need any tips/tricks you have for a child with asthma. Portable nebulizer reccs? Air purifier reccs? She is 5 months old and has had a cough since birth. I have brought her to the pediatrician literally 8 times (I counted) for this or where her cough was mentioned and they never did anything. She has had retractions some of these times and I mention it everytime and they called it the "daycare cough" or say it is viral illness or could be due to reflux. Now I saw another doctor who FINALLY took an xray and says she has a serious condition and it has led to pneumonia!! She is on two inhalers and an antibiotic. I feel so awful its gone on this long. Is this common? I knew the entire time s

Our daughter goes to daycare next week and they mentioned for bottle/nap schedules and I just kind of guessed? It still changes everyday. I am literally just surviving and waking up when she does, feeding when cues, etc - is this not normal? Did you have a schedule at 3 months?
