Days of Our Lives - MESSAGE BOARDS

Lisa, Wow ur story really touched me... I have a daughter 1 month younger then ur son... and my boyf always wants me to bring her to the Drs everytime she gets a cold or the flu or basically anthing out of the ordinary, and i HATE doing it, cause everytime i do break down and take her they just say, give her tylenol shes fine, and then i feel like an idiot and never want to bring her back to the drs again in fear that im just being to protective...
Ur story just taught me never to overlook anything, especially when it comes to the well being of a child.

Pat on the back for not giving up, u and ur little man are very brave!!!!!!!

Here are the final 7.

Adam Lambert 26

Allison Iraheta 16

Anoop Desai 21

Danny Gokey 28

Kris Allen 23

Lil Rounds 23

Matt Giraud 23


I've just read on MSNBC (my home page) that Adam and Danny are the top 2 contenders. (Must be by the two highest votes received each week???) I am a Danny fan from the first time I heard him sing, BUT Adam is very intertaining and a great singer. I can't get that weird song out of my head that he sang once. The sound was like Arabian music. Who do you want to win AI?????

Two will be voted off next Wed. night. I predict that it will be......Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud.

I totally agree with your choices, except in different order:

Adam
Allison
Danny
Anoop
(but I actually think Kris will be in there somewhere)

Thanks for all your support. For all those interested here's a picture of my little monkey: i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp188/lyamsmommy/625005934_11.jpg

As far as the pump for him, they said the earliest he can have that is 3 months from onset. We have to first manually do it to figure out his medications to set up the pump. The glucose tester is still inaccurate, if he has it, it will send the info to his pump but they will still have me test him to verify it.

He is doing well, it's a bit easier than I thought, but still a bit overwhelming. He fights you so hard when it's time for the injections or to test his BG (blood glucose)I feel horrible, but I have to do it for his own sake so I do. Only thing I can say is that he freaks out less at home than he did in the hospital, so I have hope that one day he will get used to it.

I have an empty syringe that I let him give me 'shots' with and I let him play with, hoping to make it all better. Fact is the needle is so small it really doesn't hurt, it's more fear and change that are effecting him right now.

SashaLynn22 one of the main reasons I posted everything I went through is because I used to feel that way too, especially as I was going through that with my instincts telling me one thing while the doctors told me something else. I let that slow, if not stop, my fight. If I had been a few hours later he probably wouldn't be in my living room right now wrestling with his Auntie. I can't ever forget that. I just don't want any other mom to be the one to go that few hours too late.

On a much needed lighter note....

I have watched AI since the first season, too many seasons seem to have promise but don't live up to it. I find this season to be one of the better one's talent wise. I am definitely an Adam fan, I think he has what it takes to be a star and stay there. He is an artist. Gotta say Kris sticks out more as the show progresses, but still nothing close to Adam. Danny too, but he sorta fades personality wise, especially next to Adam. I also really love Allison, she is obviously gifted and is very comfortable in front of an audience. So I'd say those would be my top four. Matt I sometimes love and others are just not good. Anoop seems to have talent, but he fades way too much for me.

Adam and Allison are the only ones I have voted for this season.

Lisa, not only does your little boy share my sister's birthday but you call him Monkey boy...I call my nephew that..we should meet...LOL...I am so happy that you and your son are ok...you both will be fine and you both are in my prayers

GUMBY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT SHow!!!

Spring, spring, spring! What a long winter! So glad to see the birds, the grass greening up and seeing daffodils blowing in the heavenly breeze. Ahhhhhh Lovin it.

So on AI they used the 'judges save' on Matt, anyone have an opinion on that? Was it a good idea or should they have saved it for someone else?

Also wanted to update on my son... we are tying to include him in his testing and injections. I find it amazing how fast a 2 1/2 year old can catch on. He already pulls out the test strip and can almost put it in by himself.

We got him an empty syringe and after I use the alcohol wipe on him I give it to him, he wipes mommy's arm and gives her a 'shot'. He still fights when it's his turn, but not as bad, I'm hoping that with time he will just accept it as part of life.

I still hate using him as a pin cushion and with all the injections/tests I feel like that's exactly what I'm doing. I look at his fingers and toes and can still see the mark from previous time. He gets a minimum of 5 injections a day and we test him 6 times a day. That's alot of holes in a little body... I just hope eventually that number goes down a bit.

I'm 50, been watching days since I was a junior in high school. I just retired this month but there are not enough hours in the day. The reason I took an early retirement was because of health problems, but that's really ok. I check in here about once a week; I actually spend more time on the scrapbooking website but I'm a diehard DOOL fan as well.
