WolfElvendar's Journal: Long time no write - Update

Wow, it has been a long time since I've written in this thing.

It has been a busy and trying time for me I guess.

My youngest daughter has been having so many seizures the past few months and we have been trying so many things to get them under control. She had a surgery to implant a Vegus Nerve Stimulator (to help control the Seizures.) Any one who knows me, I'm a major advocate for trying the least invasive techniques first and working up as you have to, and that is the way we did it too.

For a couple months we were in the Emergency Room at our local hospital 3 or 4 times A WEEK! Every doctor and nurse in there knows us by name. We have finally got down to maybe once a week. She has been having 40+ seizure's on a normal day. We don't go to the ER till it's over 20 Minutes and that's after administering Diastat (rectal Valium) at 10 minutes.

On the upside my business has picked up tough. I'm pretty booked up, though I have had to cancel a lot of appointments for ER visits and Doctor Apts. If I keep that up I may have trouble keeping patients, but so far it hasn't hurt me too bad.

I haven't had the energy to read the journal entries of friends like I used to. I haven't even read my best friends entries, so forgive me for not knowing what has been happening in your lives. I'll try to catch up, or at least start reading new entries as I am able.

Best wishes.

Hope she continues to improve/Stabalize.

My thoughts go out to her.

That's Not Cool

That's rough, man. I hope things perk up for you and yours.

a friend of mine had to have the stimulator put in to control her son's seizures. It did help quite a bit. Hope it works for you daughter.

Thanks
