    Is "yet" even relative when discussing time travel?
    Don't think so, don't see anything about relative time here...

    we got a dose of paragoric.

    You are the ONLY other person I know of who remembers and/or ever had any paregoric. I remember measles, chicken pox........all those miserable childhood diseases that were so painful and itchy.....my mom would "help me sleep" by giving me paregoric.

    Bottom line is if you do not follow the Dr's or the actual directions it's misuse. Risking her health because you "feel" it's ok, or the reviews on Walgreens are full of comments from others misuse of a product doesn't change the fact that it was improperly administered.

    You can tell yourself it isn't but the law is the law.

    Why don't you just back off~!~!!

    Damn...you make her sound like some sort of lowlife....

    Manners, Tweety!

    Good morning, Porchers :)

    I'm a wee bit nervous, this morning, apprehensive about starting with a new medical team. It's silly; I'm blessed to be in relatively close proximity to the best oncology center for this *%#*+*! disease in the country -- but I'm still fretting. I was hoping someone knew where I can find the key to the Tardis. It's gone missing, again. Anyone?

    The Ospreys are building their nest. A sure sign of spring! They're so funny, swooping through the air, dive bombing those foolish Hawks (who invariably think they can lay claim to the Ospreys' pier). The new nest, begun only a day or two ago, will be done by the middle of next week. Then, the great wait begins!

    Enjoy the day, dear ones. Back in a bit! :)
    Be brave Birdie! Prayers!

    I get the Doctor Who part of it... but I couldn't carry a note if it was strapped down in a backpack and super-glued to my back! :lol:

    He's a terrier, hevs just doing what comes naturally. They do need to be introduced, so he'll learn to play nice.
    With an introduction, he will recognize that the hamster is a member of the pack, with the same status as the human members. If you disagree with the puppy's developing concept of the pack, then it is your fault.

    To all who have (I think) been responding to the person that I was not having a nice conversation with, she has been put on ignore, and I can not see her comments. She knows nothing about me, she knows nothing about how I came to the decision to use the Similason, and she knows nothing about having a rational discussion. She knows what she knows and that's what she's basing her opinions on. I hope she can live happily with all of her decisions.

    Thank you all. :thumb: :)

    That makes at least 3 of us who don't like licorice because of paragoric.:eek:

    I was never subjected to that, so I just googled it...

    (from Wikipedia: Beginning in late 2011, there was a period in which paregoric was not being manufactured in the United States. As of August 2012, however, the manufacture of paregoric has resumed)

    Apparently it is still being produced and is available by prescription...

    I can't find my "popcorn bag" emoticoni but this is the place to put one. LOL

    Should severely curtail use of anything containing opiates or alcohol for infants and children, because it could plant the seeds of addiction later on.

    Right? It's amazing what used to be widely available over the counter...

    I don't think accusing someone of endangerment is necessary. She said she'd been administering meds for 30 years. Don't know her background, but I don't think you do either. What you're saying is technically correct, but who here has ever taken more than 2 OTC motrin cuz they were out of 800 mg Rx? I'd bet most of us. I was a very good mother, but gave my son some rice cereal mixed in a bottle at night before the age it said. Many of those things are on there because they have to be to avoid being sued.

    4 OTC motrin when you have a script for 800mg is not misuse it's taking the prescribed amount. Giving a baby rice cereal is not medication it's food a completely different subject.

    Administering "passing" meds is far different from prescribing them. Nurses are allowed to change dosages if a Dr has given a specific range of dosage and CNP/PA's can if certified prescribe some meds under supervision of a DR. Anything outside of that is practicing medicine without a license and last time I checked is against the law in all 50 states.

    What I said is correct technically or any other word you want to put in front of it. Ask a Peditrician, ask the ER folks, ask a pharmacist, ask poison control, ask CPS, ask any fricking person with an ounce of common sense.

    The warnings are there to try to protect children from idiots "who think they know better than the the medical professionals" and don't follow directions. The same idiots that after poisoning their child run screaming with their hair on fire to an atty to sue the big bad medicine maker who told them on the box/bottle what was a safe use of their product and what wasn't.

    If anyone want's to risk poisoning their child that's their choice. Choices have results and bad ones have consequences. But no one should be recommending that someone else go ahead and risk poisoning a child just because they got lucky.

    It's child endangerment no matter how good the intentions behind it. Facts are very inconvenient things when you are on the wrong side of a disagreement.

    Unless you have an MD I think this convo is over.

    eta I have not called anyone a terrible grand/parent nor did I accuse them of anything. All I did was use the legal definition of the action being discussed. If I struck a nerve oh well.

    I think this convo is over.

    I certainly hope so... I've been staying out of it, but I feel that this convo has gotten out of hand and has hopefully reached it's conclusion. Both sides have stated their opinions and either have not or will not reach an agreement. Let's just agree to disagree and move on with our lives. Janet has stated that they will do what is in the best interest of the child, so the risk of the baby being put in any undue risk is a moot point. Hopefully we can all still be friends and forget about all of this.
