Update On Baby Dumplin; Her Cough Is Better!
2008-07-17 16:33:00 Whooo Hoo says Dr. Pink Pinkerton.....Bowser do we like to receive these e-mails! From: bettyoki Date: 7/10/2008 1:32:44 PM To: PawHealer Subject: Re: ( collapsed trachea ) ? HI Holly, I have had company from out of town since Sunday. I am once again, back to normal. Thank you for your response. Dumplin has been so healthy, she never has had to take a pill or medication in her 13 years, therefore, I will continue to sprinkle her herbs over her food. I have found a way to conceal them by putting a small amount of chicken broth over the food and herbs. It has worked, so far. I certainly am happy to be able to report, good news. Dumplin is also , just about blind and her hearing seems to be failing. I may have mentioned that I have a two year old male, Brussels Griffon. His name is Mr. Hennessey. He is Baby's eyes & ears ! They are so precious together. ...
Can you *cough* hand me that *hack* fax please *sniffle*?
2008-07-09 13:36:00 When I first started working at MCI (more than 10 years ago) we got 30 sick days a year. Yes you read that right. 30! That’s a lot. Most people (at least those who were responsible employees) did not use the full 30 days each year unless they had a medical emergency or gave birth to a child. We got 30 sick days a year, but our short term disability was less than desirable so we needed those 30 days to be able to stay home after surgery or baby birthing. When Worldcom bought us our benefits suffered slightly. Our annual sick days decreased from 30 days to 12 days. Although not 30, it was still a pretty impressive number of sick days. Our short term disability did not change. We still had to pay a small fee out of each paycheck to receive 66 2/3rd of our salary while we were on leave. And we only got that after we expired all of sick and vacation time. Which I never understood because why would they require a person to use all of their paid time when they had a baby. An infant w...

Cough
2008-05-24 13:24:00 Predating their forthcoming debut full-length, Sigillum Luciferi on Richmond, Virginia's Forcefield Records, is the four-song Kingdom EP by sludge monkeys Cough. Setting out to be the "loudest and heaviest band in Richmond," this four-piece adds more depth to the subgenre alongside Cavity, Bongzilla, and Hawg Jaw.- By Chris Ayers (DigitalMetal.com)"This is what rock and fucking roll is supposed to be. It's dark, mysterious, heavy, and full of smoke. Full of thick riffs and brilliantly minimal drums, Cough displays a very well researched knowledge of the fundamentals of heavy music. They walk the line between rock and metal, successfully, which is very hard to do, even with a massive stack of amps. The distorted vocals will slend a slight chill down your spine, but it's OK, because they'll also take you on a magic drag race ride. Four tracks of varying lengths bring the disc length to around 25 minutes of the purest rock and roll you've heard in years."- By Ian Graham (RVA ...

STUDY: CHILDREN SHOULD NOT TAKE ANTIHISTAMINES FOR CHRONIC COUGH
2008-04-19 11:00:00 Side effects outweigh benefits in many cases Chronic cough can cut into children’s sleep and fray parents’ nerves. Although antihistamines can alleviate cough, possible side effects outweigh their benefits, say authors of a new review of studies from Australia.“In contrast to recommendations in adults with chronic cough, antihistamines cannot be recommended as empirical therapy for children with chronic cough,” conclude reviewers led by Dr. Anne Chang.The review adds to the growing body of evidence casting doubt on the use of a variety of medicines for children.More information & link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/-news04/2008/04/kids_cough.html~-Sandy G.

Whooping Cough
2008-04-16 04:55:00 The baby was 9 months old, his birth weight was 8 lbs 5 ounces. At six months he weighed just shy of 20 pounds. Today he weighed 15 pounds - he was a skeleton and he was dying.Mom had brought him in after treatment by his naturopath had failed. Constant coughing had made it impossible for him to take in adequate nutrition and starvation, coupled with a raging bacterial pneumonia were conspiring to shortly end his very short life.We worked feverishly. Intubation, IV boluses, major antibiotics, vasopressors. All futile.At 9:03 pm, after 30 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation we pronounced him dead.This boy had pertussis. His mother choose not to vaccinate him. I won't enter that debate.

What Do You Know About Your Cough?
2008-03-23 16:15:00 Cough is a natural defense mechanism that protects the respiratory tract from foreign materials interruption which could be smoke, dust or chemical materials. Apart from that, phlegm presence or foreign fluid that often experienced by cold or allergy sufferer can cause the person to cough. This phenomenon is a natural body reaction to remove the foreign materials from blocking the respiratory passage. Generally, there are three kinds of cough:1. Cough with phlegm and with respiratory disruption2. Cough without phlegm and with respiratory disruption3. Cough without phlegm and with no respiratory disruptionCough is categorized as useful or productive when it can remove foreign materials as phlegm and mucous secretion which blocks or disrupts the respiratory passage. Unproductive cough is like tuberculosis and with no expectorate. This situation will increase disruption to patient if not controlled because it will disrupt the respiratory passage. Therefore, drug used to treat cough ...

The usual remedies (sleep, NeoCitran, sleep, hot orange juice with honey and ginger, sleep) aren't working. Nothing kills this bug.I had a voice-over gig this month, but fortunately my throat cooperated that day. In fact, the germs might have helped. Usually when I'm nervous my voice raises in pitch, and I have to work hard in front of the mic to relax. This time, my sickly huskiness lowered the pitch to a relaxed tone in spite of my nerves.I'm really putting the *ahem* into Ahem Productions lately.

FDA WARNS OF COUGH, COLD MEDICINE RISK TO CHILDREN

FDA's recommendation is based on both the review of the information the Agency received about serious side effects in children in the referenced age group and the discussion and recommendations made at the October 18 -19, 2007, public advisory committee meeting at which this issue was discussed. FDA has not completed its review of information about the safety of OTC cough and cold medicines in children 2 through 11 years of age.

FEDS FIND KIDS GETTING HIGH ON COUGH MEDS

Adverse reactions include blurred vision, loss of physical coordination, intense abdominal pain, vomiting, uncontrolled violent muscle spasms, irregular heartbeat, delirium and death.The survey is reportedly the largest of its kind and involves interviewing nearly 67,000 people from around the nation, including almost 45,000 persons aged 12 to 25.Link to complete story:...

Herbal Tea for Cough and Cold
2007-12-10 01:56:00 The cold and cough season has affected our house severely. Mostly on account of the cretins on my commute that use the subway as their own personal Petri dish. The cough has been especially rough on Scanlynn. I on the other hand have been bred on the fine air in Pune city with an S.P.M. count of over 150. As we entered the 4th day of our seasonal suffering, I remembered a concoction my ayurvedic doctor would prescribe. I would take most of what my vaidya prescribed with a pinch of salt. Not to mention the fact that some of his prescriptions actually required a pinch of salt. But I remembered that he had given me a recipe for a cough tea that could be taken if you were looking for a non-chemical alternative to calming the tickles in your throat.
