He had no seizures on Thursday, Friday or yet today - it has been amazing!!! We had respite come this morning so I could take a trip to Wal-mart and get some daily items - I am telling you I am loving respite - If you currently do not have respite - I strongly suggest you check out http://www.rescare.com/index.cfm -
A nurse came to our home and did an eval on Brextin- and notified us that we qualify for 5 hours per day - (our Medicaid covers the care worker) We don't use respite as much as we should. At first I was nervous about having a stranger watch our little guy - but once we met - I knew she would take very good care of him - she is actually studying to be a nurse - so luckily we will have her for about 2 more years as she is finishing off her degree. Nursing runs in her family - since her mother is a nurse also.
I haven't been so lucky with the suck - I keep trying - but the little guy only does it when he so desires.
He hits the road one last time tomorrow and will be done with the dives this Thursday - we will then be back to normalcy in our house hold.
Hooray...no seizures for a few days! I will say a prayer that this continues. So glad that you were able to have a date night. It is good to recharge the battery. You do so much research and therapy with Brextin and I know how time consuming it all is. I've learned some new things from Brextin's site and really appreciate all the information you provide. You are an amazing mother.
