My son Brecken was born by emergency c-section on August 27, 2007 after suffering a lack of oxygen in utero. Brecken was having seizures immediately after birth, he was atr lifted to Children's in Minnepolis where he under went brain cooling. Brecken was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 3 days old.<br /><br />He also had a poor suck and swallow and no gag reflex. We spent many weeks in the hospital and were finally able to come home once a feeding tube was placed. He now has a Mickey button. Like your family, we have therapy 4 days a week and have been through Hbot. <br /><br />Breckens seizures came back a few months after birth and were controlled for 2 years on Keppra. When he was 2 1/2 we switched him to Trileptal and that worked until his first epileptic seizure occurred. It lasted for 3 hours and it seemed all the medicine in the world would not stop it. They finally got it under control and since then he has had 2 more full blown tonic clonic seizures while on both Keppra and Trileptal. His O2 drops down into the 50's and he will not recoup until he recives O2. We are praying we can get these under control as it breaks our hearts to watch him have to go through this and I fear every time that he may not come out of them.<br /><br />Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers and as is your little angel!<br /><br />If there are any therapy items that you still have and are looking to donate or sell, Please let me know as you have many items I have never seen or heard of before.<br /><br />Mindy Dahlberg<br />Isanti, MN 55040Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
