I have been in the throes of medical records again. When you see a new doctor, they always want to know what has been done in the past, what meds, what tests, etc. etc. Digging through the last 6 years has been sobering. What Cole's body has been through, the meds that he has tried, the hospital admissions...it really is too much for anyone that hasn't even entered Kindergarten. However, I look back and see how strong we are. We should have had at least two nervous breakdowns by now!!! :)
So, for the future and to be able to access it quick via the nice, old friend the Internet-I present a history of the treatments tried for my son:

I was getting my hair done the other day and I spent the entire time I was "processing" on the phone making doctor's appointments. My friend asked me if I felt like we lived at the doctor. I had to be honest and say, "Yes". Looking at it all listed out is a little overwhelming. I am positive that I have missed something (probably more than just one something). No wonder we are tired! All I know is Cole is worth it. We will keep fighting.

I should do the same thing...although I don't think our list would be quite as impressive as yours :) What new doctor is Cole going to see?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm wondering about that app that you mentioned using as a monitor for Cole.
Bless you guys!
When little John was younger, I counted over 30 appointments in a single month. Hang in there--we love you!
ReplyDeleteHoping that the new doctor is offering something that would give all of you a little rest from the insanity of this disease. I am in awe of what you all are facing and the amazing attitude you all have. I thought of Cole as I read about little Charlotte Figi on CNN-hoping that one day maybe I'll be reading about Cole responding to something new that the doctors come up with! Sending lots of strength to all of you and hugs to Slugger and just wanted to say I think you are incredible Niki.
ReplyDeleteLots of woofs and whinnies from an admirer,

ReplyDeleteCURE TO EPILEPSY WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECT: My son was diagnosed with epilepsy. My son epilepsy was something i don't understand he cry so bad that he was usually in bed for about 8 hours and soreness killers (even prescription strength) don't stop the crying (except taking him out) even if he take triple the dosage. my son symptoms was really so bad,that we have to make hospital our home, and all the doctors would do is monitor it, prescribe him countless of control pills and pain medication with no positive result. until recently I contacted a Doctor who put an end to this problem. If you are having same problem with epilepsy son contact Dr. William for advice and possible solution without any side effect (drwilliams098675@gmail.com

I have been in tears for so many years now, having found that my only son is suffering from seizure, lesion after some years of being under extreme stress., . I spent 24 hours freaking out and finally calmed down after reading some testimony on here about Dr Williams herbal medicine to seizure.

He was just worried about our son been free from this disorder that was how will order for Dr Williams product on line , after my son finish taking Dr Williams medicine for just within a period of one month. Will went to the doc together who confirmed that he was seizure free.
