He has CP and seizures were almost nightly as well. What a trooper Dante is following the bubbles! Those to me would be so difficult for their transparent almost! He is amazing!

I think i feel so moved by your story bc we are about the same age and have 2 kids (both of mine are young...2 1/2 and 6 months). I work for a school district as a PT...I am very familiar with ECI, etc...I work with children with special needs in the school district..which entails a HUGE variety of kids...I have seen many children make amazing progress despite their diagnosis and /or prognosis...I believe injuries to the brain ( cp, stroke, tbi, etc)with children are basically uncharted territory...while there are PLENTY of children that have these diagnosis, the capacity of change in these babies brains is remarkable...it's the type of things that our drs can't predict. i challenge you to keep realistic hope for sweet jude. this is by no means a closed book case...he shows some remarkable signs...for what it's worth, i would encourage you to continue your tireless quest for seizure control...the medicines can be brutal, i know...but you have a mom's intuition about wanting the seizures controlled, and you are certainly entitled to that. Change docs till you find the one that will work FOR YOU and for JUDE. There are many out there that will...don't stop. thinking of you and your new reality...we all take our "normal" for granted. you are an inspiration to me...i hope that you and your husband will work through this together...i have seen way too many marriages go under due to situations like this...you two are the only ones that FEEL what you are feeling...i hope you both can embrace that and be a shoulder to cry on and an ear to scream in about this...love to you from a complete stranger...please contact me if you have any questions about eci, etc...hope you have a seizure free night...susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325802509736055984noreply@blogger.com
