Great Local Gastroenterologist Dr. Robin Baradarian

Gastroenterology is an interesting field.  So many things can effect your GI tract and it is important that you have a good doctor by your side to identify the real cause for GI pain and discomfort.  As many of you may know already, my daughters both suffer from a rare disease called Mastocytosis.  Although Mastocytosis is found mainly in the skin it can spread and has a great impact on the GI tract.  In trying to find a good Gastroenterologist, I have time and time again stumbled upon Dr. Robin Baradarian.  There is a great deal of information not only on Dr. Baradarian but also a great deal of publications, videos and so on.  I believe that he may have some GI answers in relation to Mastocytosis.  There are many things that intrigued me.  Here is a list of some of what I personally find to be impressive about Dr. Robin Baradarian;

As you can see Dr. Robin Baradarian has extensive knowledge, experience and most importantly patient support.  Although it would be a little over an hour to get to his office, it may be a trip worth taking with the girls.  Oh and I even found Dr. Baradarian on YouTube!  Check out that great video on heartburn that we can all benefit from!

YouTube Karaoke: My New Discovery

I know that I am often two minutes too late.  Last night I discovered that on YouTube has karaoke songs.  I am amazed and excited all at the same time.  It was incredible.  I do not know how else to describe it.

A few months ago a friend hooked me to karaoke.  I am not sure that I could go out into the world and try it but in her livingroom I am a STAR!  I cannot do songs that are too loud or too hard rock.  I am a soft rock type of girl.  The song I nailed is “eternal flame”.  I sing it like the pros.  The other night we discovered I can sing Pat Benatar.  I was told that I would have to prefect that too before we hit the road.

I should have started this by telling you that I have a decent voice and I LOVE to sing.  Even Abigail still wants me to sing her to sleep each night.  I sing songs from the Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music and Children’s songs best.  I CANNOT sing hard rock to save my life.  I can rock, “God Bless America”, but do not ask me to sing, “We Will Rock You”.

Back to where we started!  Abby and I have been karaoke QUEENS.  While I am singing classics she is singing, “I Kissed a Girl”.  I have sat wondering where it is that she has heard these songs.  Then I remembered Aunt Alli put them all on her iPod.  Thank goodness for that Aunt Alli!

Susan Boyle: A New Craze

BLACKBURN, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 21:  Susan B...

If you are anyone who watches television, surfs YouTube or listens to the radio you have heard the name Susan Boyle in the past week.  She is a craze that is sweeping the world.  I am so motivated by this story.  Perhaps it is because I am overweight and always cheer for the underdog, perhaps it is because she is a woman who would not take no as an answer in the past, perhaps it is the complete love for singing.  Either way I completely relate to her.

Susan Boyle sang on Brittan’s got talent last week.  Before she sang there were sneers and comments conming from the judges and the audience.  I personally would have cried and walked off the stage.  I guess that is why I am not the one we are all talking about this week.  Susan Boyle held her head up high and said she wants to be a professional singer.

From that point people began to snicker and be disrespectful.  Even the judges were sceptical.  They were down right rude!  Then Susan Boyle opened her mouth and began to sing.  The audience was shocked and I cannot even think of a good enough word to describe the judges.  I have NEVER seen Simon smile while someone was singing.  By the end he had to say that he knew she would be that great.  If he had said anything else he would have looked like he had no clue of his entire job.

I guess I am so excited for Susan Boyle because she showed people that we are all different.  Some of us have pretty faces.  Some of us have good bodies.  Some of us have the perfect hair and others have a great smile.  Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice.  She sounds better then then Broadway cast I heard sing the same song.  She is amazing and someone to watch!
