ADHD, Medications, and ECGs

By Dr. Jeremy July 19, 2008 6:38pm 1 Comment

DrJeremy

In April of this year, the American Heart Association (AHA) released the controversial recommendation (among others) that electrocardiograms (ECGs) were necessary for children and adolescents before they started attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications. Following this recommendation, the phone calls and emails began …

Mommy Crushes: Harmful or Harmless?

By Chrissy July 15, 2008 10:18am 6 Comments

HelloChrissy

Mommy Crushes. They're more common than you might think, or like to admit.

It can happen to anyone. At anytime. Over anyone.

I admit I've had a crush on Bon Jovi since I was 15 years old. Every time I hear Jon Bon Jovi's voice, I get that familiar butterfly pang in my stomach. Still! But I wouldn't necessarily …

5 Keys to Positive Discipline

HelloChrissy

I was at the park the other day with my children when I witnessed an unbelievable parenting moment.

A 3 year-old boy, whom we'll call Billy the Bully, and his mother were at the park. The mother was on her phone while Billy played in the sandbox. Billy the Bully repeatedly snatched a toy truck from another child while his mother gabbed on …

Turning Against Ourselves

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Since a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love, are you afraid of the world around you, or are you living in the true reality of a God-made world that depends on you? Are you doing your part in forgiving others? If so, continue to walk in the light. If not, press through the darkness into light--the world is waiting.
Thought separated from love is a profound miscreation. It's our ...

Journal Entry for July 24, 2008

Thursday, July 24, 2008

It's been a long hard day. One of my little sisters (Ash) broke my little brothers arm today. They are in Chicago so my dad flew up there a little while ago to comfort him. I also think seeing kel so sick has gotten to him. She's slept almost 4 days in a row now. We called her dr and he said that she has an outbreak of mono. She's had mono before but its not like the chicken pox...

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | A General Update story

WELL, IT'S BEEN QUITE A DAY. I AM QUITE FRANKLY EXHAUSTED. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THERE IS JUST NO POINT IN ALL OF THIS. LIKE BEING WHO I AM IS JUST NOT WHO I AM SUPPOSED TO BE. I'M SURE THIS IS MAKING NO SENSE TO ANYONE BUT ME, BUT THAT'S OKAY. I GUESS I JUST NEED MORE. I NEED TO KNOW THAT WHAT WE DO MAKES A DIFFERENCE, AND THAT PEOPLE REALLY CARE. I KNOW THAT I CARE...AND SOMETIMES I...

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | A General Update story

I'm glad today is winding down. I'm glad it's nearly over. I was certain ths morning that, as soon as I posted my journal entry, I'd crash for hours since I had only gotten 2 hours of sleep last night. Not so, as it turned out. Somewhere around 7:30am, Mokie and I curled up together on the couch, and we went out like lights. BUT...bare...

Forgiving.....

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

I am on my way to forgiving David's parents (my son's biological father's parents). I still haven't contacted them since the funeral. I've been giving us all time. Sometimes I am ready to go there and get the painful talk finished and move on from there. But other time I just dread it. So many emotions will have to be faced and many painful questions asked and answers. None of...

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | A Frustrating story

I have been in my new apartment for 2 months now. My stbx has a girl living in the house already. He moved her in not even a month after I left, propably only a couple of weeks. So it just validated to me that I made the right choice by leaving. There was no love there even though he claimed to be so in love with me. I have started dating the most wonderful guy in th...

Summer of the Poisonous Spiders

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

My summers seem to have themes. There were summers where I had babies, of course. Summers I was unemployed but searching. The summer we first had blackberries in the backyard. 2 summers ago, it was the Summer I Went to Tennessee 3 Times. That was a good one.
This year so far in my mind, it is The Summer of Poisonous Spiders. Let me introduce you to my mutant superpower: I find br...

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | A General Update story

This past week has been pretty good for me. One of my best friends that lives in NC came up to surprise me for my birthday last week. He got online Monday night and said surprise I'm in Mathews! I was so happy. He came up because he knew how much it would mean to me for him to be with me on my birthday. We spent almost every evening together last week. He just left yesterday morning to go hom...
