Oh No... Molluscum

So my 6 year old son was playing with one of the neighbor kids and contracted a nasty skin disorder called Molluscum. Basically he has little bumps all over his body and they are spreading. They don't itch too bad, but they don't look good. The doctors say that they should clear up in 3 months to 2 years... who wants to wait that long! I decided to purchase a "miracle cure" from some internet snake oil salesman... we will see if it works. I purchased some Silver Cure. Supposedly things should stabilize in 2 weeks and should disappear within a couple of months.

Impulsive Child

Our 6 year old son has always been a bit reactive when things don't go his way. It has been a concern for a couple of years and we have considered getting therapy. He just entered kindergarden, we had our first parent teacher conference. We figured his techer would get a good view of his behavior and could provide some suggestions. The teacher described his behavior as impulsive, but said she could not diagose a specific problem. After doing some research we found that the term "impulsive" has a very specific meaning. I would agree based on those meaninngs that our son is impulsive - now what to do about it. We decided to first try a workbook called Stop and Think by Philip Kendal 1992. It looks like it addresses the core element of his probelm. I will update you on our progress.

Omeprazole from India Update

So far, no apparant adverse effects from the Omeprazole I've been taking for about 3 weeks now. We are saving big bucks by going this way, so far it looks like a good deal - no complaints about pain at all.
