My daughter is a yeller.
Neither my husband or I yell, so I am not sure where she gets it. Sure, both of us have been known to raise our voices on occasion (anyone who has children and claims otherwise is pulling your leg).
But yelling? We just arent yellers.
The day after my daughter was born, she proved that she has lung power. You have heard those comments about tiny little babys cries being compared to a kittens? Not my daughter. Her newborn cries could be compared to an angry tom cats howls.
The other night in the kitchen, we heard the garage door go up.
I think Daddys here, I said to my daughter on the floor at the time.
She stands up and belted out, DADDY!!!
Yes, I jumped.
Then there was church on Palm Sunday.
My son will tolerate sitting through a service now as long as he has his good friend next to him and plenty of snacks and books between them.
My daughter is good for about 30 minutes until she bores of the routine.
Thank goodness for the cry room at the back of the church.
We made a hasty retreat when her vocal cords started warming up.
Once in the cry room she realized that she could see Daddy and her brother and the family we are friends with.
HEY DADDY! I HERE! she yells. SEE ME HERE? DADDY! BRODER! HI BRODER!
Someone was smart when they soundproofed that room.

Q: My 5-year-old daughter is in "rehab" for some listening issues at school. When she comes home with a note from her teacher indicating one or more of these incidents at school, she is confined to her room for the rest of the day. What should I do if she is constantly calling me, wanting to ask me something, wanting me to get something for her, and so on? She isn't coming out of the room, but she is constantly trying to engage me. It's driving me nuts.
Richland woman has open-heart surgery after C-section
Richland woman has open-heart surgery after C-section
RICHLAND -- The miracle of life had a brush with death this week at Kadlec Regional Medical Center when a Richland woman had to have an emergency cesarean section immediately followed by open heart surgery.
Doctors discovered that 31-year-old Ulyana Kuzmycz, who was 35 weeks pregnant, had an aortic dissection, a tear in the inner wall of her aorta that caused blood to flow between the layers, forcing them apart.
The inherited condition is normally an easy fix, said Dr. Hannan Chaugle, a Richland heart surgeon. But when the patient is pregnant, the situation can become life threatening to the mother and child.
