Because of some unauthorized overdraft from $67, my account was frozen for about fifteen days straight. Then, just today, I find out that my checking account has been suspended entirely and they’ve completely revoked my overdraft protection—which, quite frankly, was a substantial cushion. To make matters worse, the bank didn't bother to send a single notification or warning about any of this. Fortunately, I have a steady paycheck coming in, but even if the bank were to seize my entire salary for the next six months, it wouldn't even begin to cover what they've clawed back. Now I'm left staring down the barrel of utility bills and groceries... what on earth am I supposed to do? Does anyone have any advice, or perhaps some insight into what kind of bureaucratic nightmare I should expect to face next? I would truly appreciate any thoughts you might be willing to share!
My 10-month-old little one had a bout of vomiting a few days back, and honestly, everything seemed perfectly fine the very next day. However, on the third day following that initial vomiting episode, she spiked a fever of 101.3°F—which lasted just a single day—and then the diarrhea kicked in. She’s been dealing with it for three days now. Her appetite is nonexistent, and on the rare occasion she actually manages to eat something, it seems to pass through her system almost instantly via diarrhea. We’ve already had to deal with an IV drip at the hospital; they ran a viral panel which came back negative, so now we are stuck in limbo waiting on the bacterial culture results.
CRP is 66 (range 0.0-5.0)
UREA is 2.4 (range 2.8-8.3)
CREATININE is 40 (range 79-125)
SODIUM is 135 (range 127-146)
POTASSIUM is 4.1 (range 3.9-5.1)
AST is 50 (range 11-38)
MO is 16.9 (range 5.0-13.0)
Today, I noticed some mucus in her stool. The doctors aren't willing to provide any specific guidance or treatment until the full battery of tests, including the bacterial ones, is finalized. Does anyone have any insight or advice?
..I find myself frequently haunted by dreams of carnal intimacy 🙂

I just can't help myself; I’m sobbing over every little thing. It was exactly like this during my first pregnancy, too. I remember one time I tried to tell my mom about this heartwarming email I’d received—something sweet about babies and mothers—but I couldn't even get through the story. Like a complete idiot, I just started weeping mid-sentence, over and over again, until I eventually just gave up and sent her the actual email. This time around, it feels even more intense. I’ve reached the point where even a random commercial on TV can trigger a meltdown. At this rate, I’m starting to worry my IQ has dropped somewhere below room temperature.🙂
..Well, I was constantly whimpering too, though it was only during those first three months—I suppose we're all just being hijacked by some sort of pregnancy hormone surge! Mickey Mouse 🙂
