Middle East and North AfricaMale Circumcision
My husband says he remembers it very well and he was 8!!!! He's always said if we had a boy, he would be circumcised shortly after he's born.

Middle East and North AfricaWhat race are Egyptians considered to be here
A funny story that some here have heard. When we went to get our marriage license they lady asked where my husband was from. He says "Egypt" so she picked up her book and said "oh, then you are white." Those of you that have seen my husband know he's VERY dark. I kinda giggled and ask her how sh could put white since he's far from white. He's Nubian so she did find that then put a N in the box. Kinda makes you wonder why middle easten isn't an option.

Middle East and North AfricaFrustrated is such a little word
The whole postal system in Egypt sucks. The letters I sent to my husband while he was still in Cairo would arrive unopened, but any package I sent was opened by customs and each time he would also have to pay to receive the package. It got to the point where he finally told me not to send him packages because it was costing him so much to receive them.

What have you tried taking Olivia? We recommend antihistamines and decongestests to help relieve pressure if it's due to ear congestion. Sounds like you really need to see someone though if you're hurting that bad. Could be an infection. sad.gif

Middle East and North AfricaSunday
I've seen tons of earaches in the clinic this year. A lot more than usual so I don't know what's up with that. I've even had a few earaches, which I never have.

We got back from a much needed vacation yesterday afternoon. I need another week off to recover! I don't think I've ever walked so much in my life! We all had a lot of fun and hubby is already wanting to go back next year, although I'm trying to talk him into a cruise. innocent.gif

This weekend everything is tax free so this is the time everyone stocks up on school supplies and school clothes. (Tax free city taxes) I really wasn't planning on getting out today, but when my grandma called and reminded me yesterday that was her way of saying she wants to go with me because she feels she has to get the kids some things. I gotta let her spoil the kids while she can!

Hope everyone has a great day!

nawal, does nour have allergies or GERD or something? i always see her skin is soo red and blotchy and now vomiting, poor child! What kind of formula is she on?


They think GERD but she has some breathing issues as well....too many specialists and they still don't know a thing...GRRR . She's on the regular Emfamil Iron ... because Soy makes her projectile vomit and the Neutromigen (sp?) she wouldn't eat and kept spitting it up....LOL. Her vomiting just started again after 1 month of being vomit free... whistling.gif

GERD can cause breathing problems. The stomach acid refluxs to the back of the through which then will sometimes aspirate into the trachea causing the cough. Have you or a doctor heard wheezing? Also, a lot of people, even doctors think a child has to be wheezing to have asthma. A cough....just a cough could be asthma too. Have you tried elevating the head of her bed a little? Sometimes that will help, if it's GERD. You may want to check into changing her formula too. Another thing, does she do this mainly when she's laying down? Sometimes drainage will cause the pukes and coughing too. Sorry....that was overload eh? Hope she's doing better soon! star_smile.gif
