DS always seems to be cold. Especially his hands and feet. I try to keep him clothed warmly but it's hard to keep his hands warm. I've noticed though that his left side tends to be worse than his right side and that his left hand often has a bluish tinge to it. His left side extremities often seem to be cold even when his right side isn't. I'm a little concerned about this and do plan to call the dr. on Monday but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with their child. Any suggestions on how to keephis hands warm?

Not to worry you, but it sounds like a circulation/heart problem. If it were me, I'd be calling the Ped. now, and if not going in now, I'd be at urgent care first thing in the morning.
