Hi again! You know maybe you need a hug! Well here's one from me. I'm puzzled by the doctor's comment. He/She said "Probably-Encephalitis". I, myself, know firsthand about this disease. I have St.Louis/LaCrosse Encephalitiis. It all started from a mosquitoe bite on my right arm. It spread very quickly in my bloodstream. This happened on 5 July 1962. The CDC in Atlanta, Ga. can only go back as far as 1964. I have most of my records (medical) and they are open to the public for examining. I have been living with the symptoms/side effects of this disease, since. I have been further diagnosed by the neurologists at the Denver VA (Veterans Hospital), and private neurologists with "Post-Encephalitic Parkinsonism". I'm living day-by-day. I served 7+years in the Marine Corps and came out with an "Honorable Discharge". I'm 100%-disabled in my doctors' viewpoints. I take meds for the symptoms w/bad side effects. Oh well! I could go on & on, but I won't bore you. I just wanted to let you know, you are not alone out there. I have lost loved ones myself. They are "In" God's Hands. Their memories will always live on. I am 60 years young. Take care and God Bless! Hugs to you and your family. Patrick--USMC!

Dear lb15,
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Almost 4 full years ago, on August 31st of 2008, I lost my daughter Grace. She was only 2 months old and I was told that she died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. This all took place while I was in the hospital after having had a stroke that was caused by a meningioencephalitits that has apparently never been seen before. As a result of the encephalitis I was laid up in an ICU in downtown Philadelphia and thus, completely unable to even attend my daughter's funeral. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. Please, please feel free to contact me anytime you want to. Send me an email or something like that and I will send you my phone number or whatever medium of communication you prefer. Until then, take care of yourself and BE GOOD.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
