Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!



Recommended Posts

Dr. Phil seems to have taken a personal interest in her. Maybe he will counsel her kids along the way. They are certainly going to need all the help they can get.

I was thinking Munchausen's as well only b/c I keep replaying that 911 tape in my head. It was supposed to be about the fact that her kid was missing but she turned it into being all about HER with her screaming threats of killing herself!

I used to be a dispatcher for our local ambulance dept. and I was an explorer w/the sheriff's dept. We had people scared and worried and a little out of control but I never had anyone like that on the phone! Sure I had to calm people down a lot in order to get them to tell me what was happening and where so I could start EMS but her call was crazy!

Her call was off the wall. I don't know if it is because of my prejudice against her for her other actions, but she didn't really sound worried about the child at all. That call really did seem all about her (attention grabbing). I don't know.

It sounded like bad (over)acting.

Harrumph! This will ensure his future ratings, eh?

Dr. Phil is as media hungry as Suleyman. I would have been much more surprised if he didn't take a personal interest in this case.

Yes, he is media hungry. I'm still pissed at him for trying to cash in on Britney Spears when she had her break down.

Ok, I can't access video content from work but there is a link on cnn.com for a video that says octotwat admitted that welfare was her plan. Someone please watch it and tell me what she said. Please?!?!?

Here's a recap: If she hadn't had these "little" opportunities to make some money she would have been "forced" to apply for "governmental" assistance" at least until she was finished with school...and then she added, "I don't know how many hours a week I would have to work as a counselor to make ends meet"

She admits that she was in denial about the paparazzi frenzy and pandemonium that has accompanied the babies coming home. She expected attention, but not the almost riot conditions that occurred.

How could she NOT know that she couldn't afford 14 children? What kind of lala land was this woman living? Has she been tested for drugs because this sure seems like she was in some type of drug induced delusions.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
