calypso Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi old POTS friends,I finally have found a moment to post and to check and see how all of you are doing. I barely recognize any of the screen names these days because I've been out of the loop for so long!]My youngest daughter is now 7 months old and doing pretty well, aside from some nasty reflux. My older daughter just turned 4 and is doing great. I am pretty much in a state like I was when first diagnosed, although not quite as bad. I have had another big episode of postpartum weight loss that was odd because it came on at about 5 months after the baby was born, instead of right after like the first time. I am pretty weak, muscles are weak and uncoordinated, I have the usual fast heart rate, my immune system stinks, I'm pretty thirsty and have dry mouth especially at night, and I'm exhausted.But I am surviving. Just wanted to say hi. Would love to hear from those of you I know.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Welcome back! Glad to know you are surviving--2 little ones can drain the healthiest person. Sorry you are having the troublesome symptoms still, but glad to hear it is a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi Amy,It is good to hear from you. I was just thinking about you earlier this week and wondering how you and the baby were doing. Thanks for stopping in to give an update.We don't know each other especially well, but I do remember you from when I first joined DINET. You were wonderful and caring and the first person to ever send me a pm. I hope your days get a little easier as time goes by. Enjoy your little bundles of joy.

ajw4790 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi! I know I am new, but I wanted to go ahead and say hi! Welcome back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningshoe Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 HiMy kids and I used to love to turn our livingroom into a bouncy house. You could lie down and watch your kids and enjoy the fun! Here's what you do - take all the pillows off the couch, add a few bed pillows, blankets and comforters and watch your kids tumble away. Move all tables and hard objects out of the way. You of course should be prone on the most comfortable spot while they wear themselves out. Putting the pillows back is a drag but this activiy can last for hours!! Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 hi amy!good to "see" you & a great big hello from a name that you (hopefully!) DO recognize . thanks for stopping by with an update. of course i wish that you were doing better, feeling stronger, etc. but am glad that you & the girls are doing as well as you are & of course hope that things only get better & better. little ones of that age take a lot out of even the healthiest person so don't hesitate to give yourself a pat on the back for all that you do....while the girls are too young now to articulate it themselves, they're lucky to have you! i more than understand how busy you must be, but do stop by for a hello as you're able.hugs, melissa(lina, i used to do that with kids i babysat for & they LOVED it! they used to like to bury me in the pillows to & i'd let them jump all over me once buried .)
