I am looking for actually more cons to the practice management system. I know cost and training is the biggest ones. I am looking to hear from maybe someone that works with these type of systems everyday in the health care field that can share some input verses just companies promoting their management software

I am recently seperated from my husband and he had a child that i have raised with him for the last almost 11 years. Her mom is in the picture and she lived with us.

I dont know if we will get back together or not , so how do i deal with not seeing this child everyday,or ever again no more? I mean a man and womans love is different than a love for a child. I love this child as if she was my own ... any suggestions ?

Medication?

okay a little background information

My son has been on several medications for adhd among others over the past several years, with nothing really working for him in a long term effect.

My son is in a state faculity for children for behavior problems.

My son has been there for over a year now.

He was started on ritalin and ambify.and over the last 8 months we all , faculity and we as his family have seen very signaficant changes to the good.

Well then the fauclity changes docotrs and in his first meeting with the new docotr the doctor changed all of his medications, in fifteen minutes we now are starting all over.

New medication Strattera and Tegretol xr

Well my son has been on strattera before for 9 months with no effects happening for him, nothing changed with behavior , attention, focus, ect.

I have done some reading and the Tegretol has many side effects and my son has never been good a a xr tablet in the past. I do not want my son taking this medicine.

I wrote the doctor a letter and requested he be put back on the medication he was previously on and that was working very well for him. He has refused to do that. The doctors first statement of why he was changing his meds were was ritalin was going off the market, when no information could be provided that ritalin was going off the market , he then made a statement that he was taking all the youth in this faculity off of stimulants..

My son has never had the postive reaction to medication as he had with what he was taking, it was workng for him very very well, and this is even noted by the center he is placed in and they also agree with me, and the one that told me to begin the process. (which i would done anyways) Myson was set to be released in the coming months as well, like in two months because he was doing sooooo well.

Now my questions -----

Have you ever experienced a doctor refusing to listen to your request?

What are our rights as parents for type of experience? And can a medical professional make a general refusal to give children these stimulants based on his preferences versues what is in the best interest of the patient?

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

I know i may have speeled alot wrong but i more worried at this point about getting information versues my spelling ... so please ignore , i am distraught over this right now.

I am asking because my son was on this and abilfy and was doing soooooooo good best he has ever done in his life, now they took him off and put him on Strattera and tegretol. He has been horiable this past week.

As most of you know my son is in a facuilty to help him with his problems counsler doesn't agree with this either but was told that ritalin was being taken off market ? I haven't heard anything like that .

Any one know myuch about the tegretol ? I haven't heard of that one before, any knowledge on this. I just got information about med change today so looking to find out stuff to talk to his doctor on monday .

Okay my step daughter I have been with since she was 14 months. She lives with her dad and I . Now that it is summer she stays with her mom a week on and week off. During the school year she goes every weekend to her moms.

Now we have mainly had decent contact and have got along. But about the last months things have been strained so to speak.

Okay lets start by saying she pays no support at all for her daughter, my husband had it dropped so she wouldnt go to jail (this was both our decisions)

He told her he would drop it as long as she helped with things like school clothes and you know the stuff kids have to have throught the year. She was fine with that.

My step daughter will be 10 at the end of august.

She broke her wrist at her mom's house- her mom took her to the doctors and they gave her things that the insurance doesnt cover so we got the bill.

When it came time to take her to the specilaist her mom said she would take her and then never took her it was me, and then when it came time to go back after another month it ws me. each time was she had no gas. okay.

Then she came home with ring worm, okay we went and got medicine, and was applying it. We went to her baseball game on her moms week and we checked it and it looked as it was getting worse and she told us she was putting anything on it , she didnt have the money for the medicine(over the counter cream 2-3.00. But she never called us to say hey I know you guys had medicine for hr can I come and get it cuz I have no money to buy it.

My step daughter is some what over weight. Her mom came over and thru papers at us about children being over weight but lets lay on the couch and watch tv all day if that is what she wants to do. which I have been working on getting her moving more but her mom tells her mc donalds hamburger and french fries are only a snack. her mom doesnt make her eat vegatables if she dont want to eat them , and let her eat 13 bagel bites plus 2-3 hours later tell her this about mc donalds.

Then her mom doesnt have deoradnat for her so she goes all week with personal hygiene items and so I sent some with her to her moms house. Now the next issue is about a bra- she very much in need of wearing one of these and her mom thinks this is not nessacary at all.

Also her mom is constantly saying well i dont have gas money you will have to pick her up or bring her to me.

Now i understand everyone is upon hard times as we are as well, but I feel we take care of everything - She hasnt spend more than 200.00 on her child in over 2 years. We beelive it is her respoability to at least pick her up and drop her back off. We are doing everything else.

How do I deal with this? Do i not worry about is she smells at her moms house, or what she is eating? or id she is being properly dressed? or if she isnt getting the medicine and she gets more sick, and the fact that she is contanstly getting something from there and we are having to foot all the bills with no help.

Any suggestions to handle this in a way that doesnt come across as You did this you did that, but get across that we need some help but we dont want to have to go to court and make her pay just to have our daughters mom throwed in jail cuz we dont want that either.

skipping on with the economy the ways it is?

Any suggestions on how families are getting by this summer?

without water, say in a metal tin? I am looking for candles to put in metal tins for my daughters graduation party and I am not sure how to do this, if buying floating candles would be okay because the fit the tin or if this will be a hazzard because it is not in water?

Please help me

I am looking for "2009" or some type of graduation little charms to use for a project and will need alot of them. Any ideas where to look for something like this?

Any help would be appreciated

kitchen? If so what age did you let them, and were you ever afaid of them getting hurt (burned, cut ect)

My mom never really liked us in the kitchen when we were kids because she always thought that we could get burned or would touch something accidentaly that would burn us ect.

I then when I grew up had a lot of problems learning how to cook (much better now, but don't like it) But I did the same things with my kids uptil about 2 years ago, when I thought about it further.

What is your take?

senior trip? Why or why not?

My daughter is almost 18 she will be 18 a month after she goes on a senior trip. I am letting her go , but as the time gets closer I am getting more anxious, and worrying .

the week she goes the natalee hollway case comes on the lifetime . And with all the planes issues lately, I am just getting nervous about me allowing her to go.

Also how much money would you send for extra money with them ?

Trip is all paid for, and she only has to buy 3 meals the whole time she is there, so how much money would you send with your kid.

She is going to hollywood, disney world, the ocean, ect. (all places are paid for)

And did you like them? and Why?

My oldest was by far Barney, and sesame street

My oldest boy- never really liked anything really in a Extreme way, but he would watch barney sometimes. He liked to watch power rangers, when I would let him. He did like sesame street, he liked oscar the grouch.

My youngest boy liked barney , banana in pajamas, and of course sesame street. He loved big bird.

My step daughter watched a little of barney, but she favored blues clues and dora, she also liked teletubbies.

I pretty much didn't mind anything that they liked, other than the power rangers, but he liked it and they transformed he loved that part too. I really liked barney , Barney was so interesting to them and they were able to learn Altot from him as well. We would all sing his songs, and dance around, clean up clean up everybody do their share. lol I actually took them to see a live concert for barney, I will never forget their faces.

I hated telltubbies, I just never understood that show well. I was glad when she stopped watching it. lol

what you do for your children that you are the fault of all their problems? I mean my son has alot of mental health issues that still are trying to be all figured out, but he had these problems from being a infant(some ) he was very different. He didn't like to be cuddled, he would scream, he didn't like to sleep, and as he got older he became just worse and he had bad behavior that wasn't easly corrected, but I kept trying, but his problems just kept getting worse. He was in counsling and so forth. But because my ex husband (and his mother) made case after case on me with cps, even though I won all the cases they are trying to say my sons problems are somehow my fault.

I didn't hurt my child, I didn't let anything happen to my child. What can I do? I don't care what they think about me because I know but they keep ignoring my sons problems even though that he has been locked in a detention center for over the past almost 2 years, except for 3 months.

They are saying now that I had that called them (cps) but they never investigated it (cps) because they didn't feel it was important but 12 years later they want to say it is my fault. I use to live in a goverment apartment that every time sombody got pissed they called cps on you out of spite. If it was so bad why didn't they come investigate it? Now they are trying to say that my son asked a neighbor for food, when he was 3 and it was tramtic for him, because I didn't give him food. My son never has went a day in his life without proper food.

Help, I feeling like my son will never get the help he needs, and I feel like I am just becoming more and more depressed. I have never did anything wrong to my kids except maybe have a patner that wasn't the best for either of us and yell at my kids.

What would you do?

My step daughter (9) and I have been struggling for the last 4 months. She has beeen lying about a lot of things, she throws fits on me and her dad everytime she made to do something that she doesn't want too. While I know that some of this is pretty normal, I am concern that this could be something deeper. As some of you may know of our past problem. I am concerened that the lying isn't safe, we have discussed this with her about being honest. Her therapy ended and they said she was fine awhile ago but is she? Is this her trying to just push just to get her way? I mean she was my shadow before summer, and she can back from spending summer at her mom's house and it has changed? We have tried talking to her but she wont tell us anything. She also tells her dad when she is mad that she wants to live at her mom's, but like last weekend she wanted her dad to come get her right then and there because she was mad at her mom, and didn't want to be with her either.

So is this a game she is playing, should I be concerned about all the lying, and I want my way now or I don't love you. I mean kids upset and so forth , they lie when in trouble or to prevent being in trouble, but their is a fine line there. She knows it is important to tell the truth and to be honest. She also know that we can't keep secrets because secrets can be hurtful.

So what would you do? Do you think that what happened is being resurfaced? even though there is no other signs but this one? Or is it that she just wants her way?

I am confused and want to make sure that she is okay, but I wont tolerate lying, just because she wants to throw fits. And she is very close to her dad and she is doing the same thing to him, lying, throwing fits.

Like last night, she had to wirte her spelling words, because she was struggling in spelling, so we make her write and practice her spelling words, and it has been working, she is getting a A now, but we keep helping her, she was told to go write the word. She turned the music on full blast, we had already told her she couldn't listen to a mp3 player, as she need to pratice writeing and saying the word, so she turned the radio on, we just told her to turn it off. About 10 minutes later she came out and said she ws taking a shower, we told her she need to finsh writing her words , she went and got in the shower anyways and turned the radio back on for the second time full blast.

When she got out of the shower, we asked her why she did this, instead of doing what we asked, her comment ws I wasn't going to school smelling like a dirty dog, when asked why she turned the radio on when we had already told her to turn it off, because i wanted to listen to it.

When we told her that she could of took the shower after she was finished with the shower, and could have listen to music after she wrote her words, and that she disobeyed our request, she just kept saying, I wasn't going to school and smelling like a dirty dog.

We make her take a shower every night, so why did she say that?

Do you think they should have to register them as well, and have to take safety classes?

Should parents be held responable for anything that happens with htese guns?

Why do we say we are not something and then answer another question totally opposite

would you be okay to let them change from a girl to a boy? or a boy to a girl?

Why?

why?

race other than your own? and why.

I would not want my son /daughter marrying outside their race.

Not really because I am racist, but the children would have problems.

My cousin (black, his mom was raped, and she couldn't give up the baby, because she had no way of knowing if it could of been her husbands or the rapists) grew up with lots of problems because he was mainly black , but had white parents and family. He was so confused and was made fun of so bad. It drove him crazy, and he ended up in prison.

This is my only reason why i wouldn't want them to marry outside of thier race, because of kids..

do you beleive that the teacher should do all they can do to help your child in class and keep you posted on problems?

If your child was doing well in all his classes (best year ever) except two, and has a learning disability, would you beleive it was your child at fault or the teacher?

What do you beleive that a teacher should do to help you child?And how can you help as a parent if you aren't being told their is a problem untill progress reports come home?
