Sorry to hear that!  I work in the ICU as an RN...I don't know what ur grandmother had, so it's difficult to say why...but we don't let anyone in under 6 yrs old.  They can be carring bug from school ect....we are protecting the patient.  We also don't want infants to be exposed to what any patients on the unit may have...Little kids really don't have a strong immune system and that goes for critically ill patient on the unit as well.  I encourage everyone over the age of six to visit...they may have to wear a mask over their nose and mouth so you don't spread germs...if we nurses feel ill, we wear a mask to keep the patients safe, also some patients are in isolation and if your grandmother was..it was probably (if the case) not to bring anything back to the baby and vise versa.  Pneumonia is a very dangerous illness, I wear a mask when dealing with these patient, you never know when someone is going to cough in your face and share their germs...Have your family member talk to someone at your church or to a counselor....I hope I helped, at least alittle...

yes, my story is rather differant, My Aunt Ann was dying of cancer and after all attempts for a cure she was given only a few months which ended up being 3 weeks. well the night of her death my Mother 'Anns sister' and my Aunt Bonnie 'also Anns baby sister' and I went to Anns House after her husband called and said it was time, we got there to find Ann unconcious and in her Bed. we sat with her for Oh maybe an hour when suddenly she sat straight up and smilled 'with tears in her eyes' and said Oh How beautiful they all are, Look at them, 'she then looked at us and said Cant you see them, and my Mother said No Ann I cant see them,. all this was bizzar within itself because she had brain cancer and had'nt been able to speak for over a week, and now she was speaking very clearly. After my mom said she did'nt see anyone, Ann started to talk to someone and was very very excited , She suddenly said 'But someones missing' and as if she was looking and listening to someone speaking She smiled and said ' Oh-' slowly laid back, looked up and gripped the corner of her blanket and slowly pulled it up over her head and she died. BUT To your Question this is the reason for my answer, 1 week after her death I was asleep and Ann was in my dreams, we was sitting outside having Tea like we would do in the summer, and she was smiling and said, so what Name will you give Him, and I said Aaron, Just as if I knew what she was saying. when I woke up I was floored, So a week after that I found out I was pregnant and was even more shocked , because my husband and I had tried for almost 11 years and was Told I could never have children.. I would continue to say what I believe and why I think there was 'someone' missing when my Aunt made that statement but maybe somethings are better left unsaid. ~_~

Yes. After I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, my mother decided not to vaccinate my youngest sister, who is 11 years younger than me. She was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which is also on the autism spectrum.

I read a story once about a woman this happened to.  She had been unable to conceive, and then learned just after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer that she was pregnant. She refused any kind of treatment out of fear it would hurt the baby.  She was warned that she and the baby could die if she let it go that long.  But she held on.  She had a perfectly healthy baby boy, and then when she went to begin cancer treatments, it was gone!  It was as if the pregnancy had healed her.  I'm not saying this will be the case for your sister, but the body is an amazing thing.  And of course, don't leave God out of the picture- He can do anything!

It's very sad. These girls have no childhood. They are pushing themselves into situations they cannot handle. STD's, pregancy, even AID's are happening to very young people. The parents just let them go, I guess. Wish I had an answer.

I got them from you, or you got them from me, either way we both got it from Stephen. I can't believe he's getting married in like 2 weeks!!!\n\nAnd yes, I meant it when I said that I plan on exposing Nicholas to it. I'd rather him get it young and before starting school than get the vaccine and risk getting it again as an adult with all the extra risks that come with it, but also I'll have to consider whether there's another baby around at the time since exposure too young is dangerous.

You didn't say how old she is.  Children can get viral syndromes which cause a red rash.  Roseola is one they get, in which they may have a fever and be a little ill, then often the fever drops, and they break out in a red rash.  It is contagious to them, but relatively harmless, nothing special to do for it.  Of course measles causes a red rash.  They will be sick for a few days before they break out.  We don't see it much, with the vaccine being given to most.  They will get pretty sick with measles.  You just keep their skin clean so they don't get secondary infection, and give them a liquid diet, something they can hold down.  If they get worse, they need to see a doctor, as they could have secondary pneumonia, or even measles encephalitis, which is a rare complication.  I suppose you might know what hives looks like.  Hives is big splotches of elevated reddish "wheals", that usually itch.  It is usually an allergic reaction to something, and we usually can't tell what.  We just treat it with benadryl and steroids and it gets better.  These are the most common things.  Of course you can get a rash with an allergic reaction to something, such as to an antibiotic.  There are more rare types of skin outbreak, like Stevens-Johnson syndrome.  If the skin starts breaking down and looking really "angry", it could be that.  They usually get that as an allergic reaction to some drug, and it requires high dose steroids to combat.  Hope this helps.  It probably is just a mild virus like Roseola, and will go away on its own. If it is bad or gets worse, have her seen in ER.

It isn't proper etiquette to have a second one, but maybe they weren't planning on a second child.  I think that not inviting all people in the office is really tacky as well as asking for donations, but it is her party.  I think I would just give a small gift certificate and then not show up.  Part of having good manners, though, sometimes may mean ignoring others' bad manners.

Children dying and getting the acual disease is very rare. In my state you can't attend school unless your children are immunized. Also Don't forget that whooping cough is going around. Last year My husbands cousin had a baby that died from it. She was too young to get the immunization. I am for it. There is even a shot for chicken pox. I let them give my kids that but now I wish I hadn't. It was optional they didn't have to get it to enter shcool. I thought I would be protecting them but now I wish I hadn't. Some of these diseases can kill your kids I'de rather take my chances with the immunizations.I don't think less of you by the way. Just sharing my experience. Good Luck.

Our sister-in-laws must be related! Last summer we found out that mine was pregnant! It was the longest nine months on earth- everything revolved around her- She immediately quit her job at a retail store (at 3 weeks preg) where she was a cashier. She couldn't do any work around the house (lucky for her she and her boyfriend are living at her mom's house) When it was time to decorate the nursery, She didn't lift a finger she let her mother do it all (and pay for it all) of course she married her boyfriend (had honeymoon at motel 10 miles from home) (Did I mention he lives there too and doesn't work?) (Doesn't even cut grass)\nThe whole 9 months She was treated like a princess and was so bitchy to everyone!! Now that the baby is here she lets my mother in law do everything, She is rude to everybody and has no plans to get a job. Plus when the baby was 5 weeks old her and her husband left in his moms camper for a week! And said she would have stayed 2 weeks if she didn't have to pick up her wic and food stamps.\nHope this doesn't make you vomit. \n:)

The percentage for 1 in every 300 people is 0.333%\nThis is a very small percentage so I wouldn't worry. My mom actually had me when she was 34 (and look...I can do math! ;) hehe) She had one of my sisters at age 37 and my youngest sister at age 40. All of us perfectly normal. No problems at all. Also, my mom actually had problems with some kids she was trying to have before myself (my brother who would have been older than me passed away in a week and my mom was at age 30)\nCongratulations in advance! :)

The jury is still out on this one.  It is the same disease you remember from the 50's, and while it has been controlled, it still existed in smaller numbers.  This outbreak is mostly in the college population and could indicate a need to get a booster immunization.  Time will tell.

Funny you should bring this up, because my mom had four children, the first two were breast fed, and my brother and I were not. We all have college degrees, so I don't really see the difference.
