Now I'm more confused than when I started. But I'm pretty possative it's just an allergy... Um. I guess I'll ask Lyr's Pediatrician more about it next visit. Because I attempted some online research the other day and everything is contrary to everything else. So. I don't know.

That's right! I'm finally out of high school. Actually, graduation was about a month ago, but I've been really preoccupied. I'm officailly working from 9 AM to 5 PM as a receptionist. The pay sucks, but it's WAY better than waiting! I'm going to work for a year to help with my money situation...

Well Celiac and an Allergy to Gluten are VERY similar. It's the same thing except that with Celiac you truly CAN'T eat ANY Gluten. With the allergy you'll just experience REALLY bad discomfort. And in large amounts it could be very dangerous. But Celiac is a more severe situation. I'm sorry...

Haha, I will. I've got like three different notes, and all quarters. I'm covering the sousaphone part

We have band on Memorial day... we have to play the star spangled banner for the town ceremony. And Sunday is GRADUATION!

Why thank you. We tried to give her a name she could feel comfortable in. She's like the lyrics to my song... It wouldn't be right without her.

<r><FONT font="Calibri"><s></s>I’ve just been keeping her on a Celiac diet. She breaks out in a rash or has sever discomfort if she consumes any Gluten. But Lyr’s been testing several times for Celiac. So I’m pretty certain we’ve just got the allergy to deal with. We had...

That's devestating. I wish I could still believe life was like a frolick in the evening through a poppy field... or a picnic undisturbed my ants. But instead I have to grow up, get over myself and be an adult. Good job with handeling the situation. I hope I can do as well when Lyr starts asking...

Lyric is (as some of you know) allergic to Gluten. Her allergy to gluten is like an allergy to peanuts. Not an actualy disease like Celiac. With Celiac you have to cut <I>all</I> gluten from the diet or you'll probably face near-fatal concequences. Lyr is just allergic. But her allergy is pretty...

Hmmm. Tonight is just <I>filled</I> with shocking realizations for me. Realizing that Lyr will want to know her background sooner or later, and that in this day and age my daughter runs a high risk of obesity... But <I>now</I> I've realized that I'm a single father who's going to have to help...

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. When I was younger, doctors changed my diet, exercize, had me attending therapy and anger managment as well as keeping journals, daily acounts of what had happened. I tried natrual remedies, I went to several different school for kids with specail needs...

That really is an amazing story... This thread makes me think a lot. Pretty soon Lyric will realize that most of her playmates have two parents. And she'll wonder about her mother. Talking about this is hard on me. But I've come to understand that I need to know how to tell my daughter that her...

*Agrees* Wow. Reading something like this just pisses me off. I'm a senior in high school, and generally you mix and match with various grade levels. But I would never think of having a sexual relationship with one of my Freshman friends. Because #1, I'm graduating, heading off to college, and...

Yeah, that's actually a really cool little article thing. We read it in AP English. Not as an assignment, just because our teacher thought it was interesting. But the one thing I hope Lyric will learn is that I will love her unconditionally every single day of her life.

Lyric Blue. We just wanted her to have an origional name that meant something to both of us. Music is very important in my life... and was a big part of her's as well. Blue? We just thought it sounded absolutely beautiful. Lyric Blue. It just seemed to flow like nothing else we could ever think...

Well. Tomorrow is my last day of high school. I'm truly not sure what I want to do in life. I want to help. That's all I've really seemed to have gathered after all the years. I think I might want to teach. But it's an un needed position, currently. Tons of kids are wanting to go into Education...

Thanks everyone for your support. I've realized that I've been ripped off by a lot of things since I joined this forum and kind of got an idea of how things work. Example: State assistance and food stamps... I'm not seeing that, and I have no idea who to talk to to change it. I should qualify...

Okay, well I'm an 18 year old, a senoir in highschool. I'm going to fess up here, I've had some drug/ alcohol problems in the past. Worry less, I'm clean, and my home is a safe environment for my daughter... well, I try my best. But I know if my father would have said no to me just once it would...

Well, there's a new worker at my daughter's day care center. SOMEHOW she mixed up my kid with someone else's and Lyric didn't get her gluten free lunch. That means she consumed gluten. Yikes. She had an allergic reaction. I was called to the office during school where I was informed of this, and...

Well, I kind of went through the same thing when Lyr's mom died. Only, she had control over the situation... and so I wasn't aware it was coming before it happened. Which I guess could either be horrific or an aset... because he has to live with the idea, everyday that she's going to die and...
