Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)

Whoa! and the 16 yo's dad allows this tx of his dau????
I wish you the best - you need some change in your luck.
Maybe karma will change for you once you are away from his insanity.
Will the house be closer to your possible hospital job?
Whoa!
Excuse YOU, IMHO, but I'm paid to transcribe their work, not warehouse it. When the day comes an account wants to pay me for storage/warehouse fees, fine, but until that time, if they want something after we've parted business ways, my fee is $50.00 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments. That means if they have me do something that takes two minutes of my time, they pay me for it FIRST before they receive the goods, so two minutes of my time equals $12.50!  Sorry that rankles you, but that's just the way it is.
Whoa there
If she did contact them, that's a breech of confidentiality. However, I would just write her off as a bad experience, send her $100 and be grateful you ended the relationship early. Enclose a note that asks her not to use you as a reference in the future because you be obligated to report her breech of confidentiality to any potential employer.
However, I would contact the client and ask if they are satisfied with your service, if there is something you can do to improve their experience with you. Just open a diaologue.
Whoa
So you'll be happy to accept the same wage with your $950 house payment as somebody who lives in a foreign country and pays, say, $40 a month, or whatever their reality is. Our system is completely different from theirs. Ours is more expensive. We pay high taxes for services our government supplies. Mixing our economies in this unfair way (with all the tax advantages the foreign companies are awarded), is completely unreasonable. This administration is giving away the American way. If our forefathers could come and see what's going on, they would be livid, IMO.
Whoa, YOU are the melting one..
Whoa, what a whack job.
What are you sick? Who says, I wonder what their employers would think of this? You really are Amish or just plain naive. And you probably think that no one smokes marijuana or drinks either. Your boss probably does. Please, if you are that old, retire already. You are showing your age and it is making me scared for myself when I get to be that old. I hope I don't act like you. Please, lighten up!
whoa did you ever MISINTERPRET.....sm
I was talking about uncouth in that someone chose to bring up his sexual orientation.....I'm not the least bit down on gay people....*some of my best friends.....* ya know that saying?
The people who choose to bring up anybody's sexual orientation, especially while the person is NOT present....lack class.
And you cannot say he is an *anonymous person behind a computer* - I mean, after all that he contributes on these boards, you have the audacity to say he's anonymous.....I'm sure he'll like to know that....as there are REAL PEOPLE behind that *anonymous* state.
Whoa - presuming from my prior post that I'm anti-gay is beyond my comprehension - and you need to try to re-read that prior post.....
whoa, missed this one
I'm in Texas -- where is this In&Out Burger place?? That's certainly not shabby for fast food.
whoa, wait a minute sm
I said "acting like a fool" not calling anyone a fool. There is a difference! Come on, guys. My point is simply this...if your job makes you so unhappy that you feel the constant need to post negativity all day, then perhaps it's time to find something that will make you happy, it's that simple. And consistently posting silliness, i.e.; foolishness, here on this board is NOT helpful! Point Blank...sorry, sometimes the truth really, um, SUCKS!
whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)
I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that. He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials. And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!
Whoa. Someone around here jumped to conclusions.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Whoa! You go girl! Been there but keep to 2000.
Not killing my hands anymore. 
Whoa, very cool! A bit pricey though...nm

Are you for real! Whoa...two big letters!
You may not need detox but you certainly need some compassion and you also need to get a life! ; )
Whoa - lesson revision
If you are asked to test again for a job, the company needs to specify if test is substance of abuse or banned drugs - the latter being those drugs not permitted for the work/company involved. If you are taking legal meds, Rx or OTC, I'd be quite upset with the company in question esp if they did not clarify in advance that any positive result was considered a no-hire situation. If you were honest up front, so should they have been and also should not have wasted your time. Sorry, stuff like this makes me crazy!
Whoa! Impressive! Amazing. See, we go just about everywhere too, sm
but we've haven't done anything THAT adventurous! I was just talking to one of my sons tonight and we were discussing where we should "go" next. We've done Disneyworld (twice), we've done Universal Studios, and we go to the gulf of Mexico about 3 times a year since it's pretty close. My husband and I just priced and went and looked at a few RVs. We are thinking of taking the boys on a cross-country RV trip. But Africa? Wow!
I loved how you mentioned about the orphanage and vocational school. I am a Christian and have been seriously praying about doing a mission somewhere, but I have to be able to take my family (5 in total). God has lay it upon my heart to do a foreign mission, I'm just not sure where yet. Also, my husband is the primary breadwinner so I'm not sure how that would all work out!
I'm so glad to see other MTs doing things other than MTing! If any MTs are out there reading this and you haven't taken a vacation, I have some advice for you: MAKE IT A PRIORITY. Yes, it won't be easy. Yes, you may not be able to afford it right now. But save! Save up and make it a point to go SOMEWHERE you want to go - whether it would be the mountains or the beach, or whatever.
There are so many affordable ways to get away nowadays! We did Disney with 2 adults and 3 kids for 5 days for under 1000 dollars! I'm serious!
Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl

Whoa, offensive. Maybe I'm old but it's not nice to see
You said you were in your 50s and you would put up a picture like that? I would expect that of a child or teenager but not a grown adult. Like the other poster said, are you trying to gain attention? What I don't understand is why people think the only way to be funny is by using foul language. You asked for opinions, well you got mine.
Also, to the other poster who said the F word is offensive. To the younger generation, the F word is perfectly ok to use yet you take offense to that. See what I mean ROEmpty?
And, I think having pictures with foul language only makes our industry look unprofessional.
whoa Vista at the colleges....
Where are you at? Then again I'm in South GA, we are always a little behind :)
Whoa - slow down there. If you're
attempting to gain allies in your fight for whatever it is you're fighting for, you're going about it entirely wrong. The HIPPA/HIPAA issue wasn't meant as a smart reply, but rather point out that if you want to attempt to start something in a leadership role, you need to know what you're attempting to lead first. If you saw an employment add that said "I need sumone to tipe 1000 lines a day" would you have a lot of confidence applying for that job? I think one might just laugh and bypass that ad. Just like MT, 90% of one's success at this depends on their research skill. Would you be approaching all these people in power with such an attitude if you were asked for clarification or further facts? Think about it. You'd be laughed right out of the office.
Whoa! "What makes you think" post was is

Whoa . . . another thing, don't be so quick to judge.
It depends on the type of account you're on. A lot of time the 300 lph MTs are working on short clinic notes for one or two docs or ER reports. There's a big difference in the types of account you're on. I work on an acute care account for a large teaching hospital. I do H&P, consults, ORs, discharge summaries, echos, eegs, and about anything else they dictate for internal medicine and all the specialties, including infectious disease, radiation oncology, cardiology, neurology, etc., you get the picture. Sure, I can fly on short clinic notes or ER reports, but then I get so bored I could scream. My dictations are more technical and time consuming, but much more interesting. I have to stop and research sometimes on the latest meds or procedures, but it keeps me on my toes!
Whoa! We used to type an MD in-house who was absolutely
Horrible. He would dictate something like: I saw this patient today as a second opinion. The patient requested a second opinion, only because she is a deadbeat and did not pay her bills to the prior physician so now the fool thinks I'm going to take her case, but I booted her fat butt out the door. She is a loser. . .
We were told under no circumstances to send his reports to the floor. We had to take them directly to the Director of Medical Records.
You would not believe the things he would say, even to people's faces.
One MD told me he was kicked out of the country club because he told an MD one night his wife looked like a pig in a blanket because of the coat she was wearing.
Everyone hated him.
The tape recording machine was down one day, he needed to dictate and was p'd off because he couldn't, ran into the department, looked at me (I was the lucky one sitting there in front) and said: Are you stupid or do you just look that way all the time? Why can't you fix this machine, you are a waste!
I wanted to take off my size 9 wide Nike's and hit him in the head with them.
He dropped dead one day. I think Satan finally took him home.
My first job out of high school, we had those belts. That was in 1964. Whoa!!
Whoa - I mistakenly downloaded a free antivirus
and nearly ruined my PC because it downloaded threatening messages constantly, constantly pestering me to download the 2009 version for a fee. I did not have a virus, it was just a fake.
It took me months to get rid of the program and had to keep researching to find out how to get the files out completely.
Just a heads up - make sure you read it before downloading.
Yeh baby
I forgot about him - ala Cool Hand Luke (yup, I am 43)
You can do this with a baby.
Lots of opinions on this subject I see. You can do this. I worked in house for more than 10 years, but came home to be with my kids too. My schedule was a bit rough, I would work in the mornings during baby's nap time, then split my shift so I worked a night while he slept. My desk was in the room next to him. I then had another son and continued with the same pattern. It is rough and you tend to lose some sleep, but it is well worth it. It actually helps to do a split shift so your wrists don't get tired. At any rate, my kids are older, both in school now and I still work in the mornings, do errands/housework in the afternoon, be here when they get home from school, do dinner and homework together, and after they are in bed, I finish up my shift. I've been doing this for 10 years now. I take my job seriously, I'm productive and have a 99% QA score. My company is happy, I am happy, and my kids are happy that they have a mom home with them when they need her. It depends on how disciplined you can be, but is is feasible Keep in mind that babies are not babies forever (which is kind of sad). Enjoy your little one!
RUN BABY, RUN
job with Soft Script. If you have a good job, keep it. Or, go elsewhere. You think the recruiter is rude, you haven't seen anything yet. Plus, they will lie to you, steal your lines and you will have to work 24/7 to earn more than minimum wage. You can do MUCH better.
YA BIG FAT CRY BABY
BOO HOO HOO
baby......
Sorry, but if you're nursing a baby while you're transcribing, neither job is being done properly. MT takes full concentration and you cannot have an ear out for the kids while you are trying to do the complex skill of medical transcribing.
Yes, women can do just about anything, but not all at one time!
A baby deserves their parent's undivided attention while they are being fed.
ERs, baby!

baby
do you know if the local high school teaches child care? Maybe, something like for a few hours would help, not very viable, but probably a lot cheaper. I have never researched this, just a thought. I've got two of my grands here now and it has been too long; barely got out of my nightgown!
Oh cry me a river, baby
Not on this planet, baby
Wake up and smell the coffee.
I don't know how it's possible to do this with a baby to contend with unless you put him in da
and demands just as much concentration.
Does anyone know about baby rabbits????
I found them today. Their eyes are closed. There is no mother in sight. My dog already got 2, but I have fenced them in with enough space for the mother if she comes, but maybe my dog ate her :(. Should I move them. I am watching the dog and not letting her out unsupervised, but I can't keep that up for too long. Any advice would be appreciated. I want to save them, but I don't have all day to look after them.
Baby rabbits
Mother rabbits only come to the nest to feed the babies at night to avoid drawing attention to the nest by potential predators. The best way to determine if she is returning to the nest is to gently replace the grass/leaves that may have been covering the nest and place at least two peices of thread/twine/yarn over the nest in an X pattern and check in the morning to see if it is moved. You can also try putting a lite dusting of flour on the ground to check for footprints (just be sure it is far enough away to prevent attracting ants to the babies). While it can be done, the unfortunate fact is babies rabbits have an extremely high mortality rate when attempting to bottle feed, so if you can be sure the mother is still taking care of them, the best thing is to leave them alone. If you are sure she is not feeding them do not attempt to feed them yourself, cow's milk can be fatal. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator in your area and follow their instructions until they can pick it up. Be sure to remember that it is also against the law to keep any "wild" animal.
baby rabbits
Had somewhat similar situation and talked to wildlife people here (Wa state) they told me if the eyes were open, the baby was about 5 inches long, and the ears were standing up, it could survive on its own. Otherwise, ohoh. Sometimes you can locate the wildlife rescue org for your area on the internet.
Good luck to you - at least you are trying to help them.
One other thing they told me is that wild rabbits should not be domesticated - they are extremely unlikely to survive if handled.
not this baby's mama.

YEAH BABY
HEY YUCK - YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
baby lotion - that's what I use

oh baby, have mercy!
The only thing better would be one of him naked and playing bongos - still can't get that vision out of my head!!!!
Yah, baby!!!! That one was a nailbiter to the end!
I know someone who'd love to have the baby
If she were to change her mind about abortion (which I pray she will)...
Working with a Baby
I have a 2-1/2 year old at home and I'm an IC for a small local transcription company. Since I've been doing this since she was a baby, she knows mommy has to work. She keeps herself busy and I'm able to take small breaks for diaper changes and snacks. I'm lucky to have a schedule where I just work in the a.m. from 9:00-12:30 and then work again from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. when she's asleep. It's whatever works for you.
It depends on the baby
I tell people this all of the time - it all depends on the baby. My oldest was difficult for a long time and breastfeeding was rough at first as I got mastitis twice with him and it hurt like the dickens, not to mention made me quite ill. My second child was quiet, slept a lot, would drift off to sleep on her own - no crying at all - and my only feeding problems with her were that she had a weak suck so I would have to keep firm support behind her head to make sure she stayed fully latched, and I got pg again at 3 mos postpartum and had supply issues from that. My third child had no feeding issues, but was a screamer - he slept on a fairly predictable schedule but was quite loud most of the other times. He cried and cried for 3 mos, then turned into a happy outgoing baby.
Now that they are 7, 4 and 3, I can honestly say that I could probably work with the 4 year old at home no problem, and might be able to work with the 3 year old at home (but many fewer daytime hours), but not together at the same time. They were home sick last week and my hours were quite compromised during the day and I was exhausted from taking care of them at night so I did not stay up late to work.
All of that being said, I do not think I could have put them in daycare until now. My 3 yo just started in the 3yo room at daycare and it is a lot more like preschool in the morning, followed by lunch, nap and outside play, during which I pick him up ( I stop working to pick up my gradeschooler and the other two at 3pm). He was OK with the twos but it was a little more unstructured and the kids are obviously less mature at that age.
I would see how it goes - maybe you could hire a college student or a high school student to be a mother's helper some time during the day if you find that you need a little help. If possible, negotiate a flexible schedule instead of specific times to be working - your baby will not care what your boss wants you to do.
You will not know how new motherhood is until you experience it yourself. Everyone is different - your body will heal differently from anyone else's and your baby is unique. I would keep an open mind.
Congratulations on the baby!
"TrimSpa Baby"
Is this a safe product for most people? I have to take Lipitor for cholesterol-lowering. Do you think I could still use this? I'd really love to try it!
working with baby
Have you tried a carrier/sling-type thing to strap her to you while you work? I've been in your shoes before, I know how hard it can be...BUT it can be done..don't give up! Try to work when she's sleeping, at night, whenever you have a "free" moment, which I know are few and far between. Just know that your baby won't be a baby for long...indulge in it while it lasts...babies are wonderful!!!
