RN I don't know much about that type of thing either. She's always had sleep issues, even as a baby she never slept more than an hour or two at a time. Then shen she was diagnosed with asthma it got even worse, the inhaler and breathing treatments make her jittery and if she takes it too late will keep her awake for hours. Then add in the sinus and allergy probs and if it's not the meds keeping her awake its the stuffy noses in the middle of the night. She has never slept straight through the night, even at 9. When she's sick it's even worse, sinus probs cause sore throat and ear aches and dry mouth (then she needs water, then to go potty) so she's getting even less sleep and probably doesn't really hit a deep level of sleep during those times. We've worked for a long time with her doctor to get the right combo of meds that work for her but don't leave her bouncing off the walls and he's aware of the talking/fighting in her sleep and says it could be those things but also some kids just have episodes like this. She's a very interesting kid, if sometimes a very exhausting one. And yep, there's no way Harvey would let her get anywhere near a door if she was walking in her sleep. He's barely left her side the last few days and is very protective of her, makes him the perfect dog for us. I see PJ treating the kids the same way, though she isn't always as quick to pick up on it as he is.

RN YESSSSS! I do love Dear Harvey, bet it won't take long before he teaches PJ the rest of the ropes! Wargod, you are so lucky to have found an Angel like him! PJ is still a puppy, but Harvey makes a great mentor.

Apnea and sleepwalking (so misunderstood) always is scary. At Granny's I'd get off top bunk and open empty drawers. At Grandma's I'd prowl the walk in closets. I'd always return to bed like nothing happened, I sure didn't remember!

Yipes, Riviere. That is truly scary. I need to check out tomorrow more about sleepwalking. And Apnea.

RN, I have decided I am not a girl. I have a good good friend who LOVES the girly girl stuff: dressing up in cute red high heels and a dress, just for casual drinks. I swear she is a 50's pin-up. So her birthday is tomorrow, and I thought I'd dress up for her, just to get into HER spirit. She's the girl who invites ALL girls over to her place to get ready BEFORE going out. She'll dress you, and lend you the *perfect* accessories, and put your makeup on for you. So I went out and bought some fake eyelashes on a whim at the drugstore, and I decided to do a test run just now. Nope, I suck at them. They went on OK, but it's the whole make up around the lashes that just doesn't suit me. RN, I am accepting my OUTER tomboy. LOL

RN I am going to be a bit paranoid and say I don't think folks should give details about whether they lock their doors and which ones they lock and leave open, etc. Most folks here are wonderful human beings and I adore so many of you... but we don't know all the lurkers, etc. When there are topics like this in the daily poll I usually skip them. (I'm saying this cuz I care and I worry. The last thing I wanna do is offend anyone! But as always, especially on the Net, better safe than sorry, my friends!)

RN, I just got home from hospital where I have been told my 15 yr old baby girl has arthritis in her spine. There are a few other issues as well but it is killing me that my little girl is on prescription strength pain killers at her age. Will have to start physiotherapy at the least but hopefully all the X-rays they took will indicate that she doesn't need surgery... have to wait about a week to find out. I am going to take her to a movie and dinner and if she wants a banana split as the main course, she is getting it!!!!

((((Rissa and dd))))) I'm 52 and was diagnosed with arthritis in my spine as well as my wrist and knees this past summer. I can't imagine being in that situation so young... But I believe Chaplin (another member here) also has had arthritis since her teens or early 20s. Maybe she can give you some advice and commiseration. Gentle hugs.

Thank you Mame. I gave her the first dose of her new painkillers and she spent the better part of half an hour wandering around the house singing "Strawberry Fields Forever" (we had had a conversation about the drug references in the soundtrack to "across the universe'). That girl is feeling no pain. LOLOL I am going through some online references to arthritis and her other spinal issues. In a holding pattern until we get the X-ray results and find out exactly what we are in for.

RN Rissa I'm sorry but I had to chuckle at the picture in my head of her wandering around singing Strawberry Fields. LOL Hope she's not in too much discomfort today. Me... I'm still waiting for the pain med to kick in for the pain in my shoulder. Trying to ignore the pain right now. It's REALLY bugging me.

RN...Mame, I am so sorry about your shoulder pain. I hope by the time you get this response that the meds will have kicked in. RN...Cinn, thank you!! At least I guess her age is a blessing in one regard... she has zero tolerance for the pain meds and they are REALLY working. RN... every once in awhile I get an urge to kick my heels up like I used to. The urge usually is gone with the thought of the effort needed to get dressed up and do my hair. LOLOL Hope you had fun Beckie.

RN DH and I are getting ready to meet 2 other couples for dinner. I did not pick the restaurant because its India Gate. I don't care for Indian food. This should be fun trying to find something to eat that I like. However, I will enjoy the company. Good friends!
