New to the Blogging World...

Ok so I have been blogging on myspace.com ever since my husband and I found out we were pregnant.. then I discovered this site!! SO I guess I will start blogging on this site too! I am about 8 months pregnant and I am going to need something to do on maternity leave...well, between the crying, feeding, changing, and sleeping that is... Hopefully I will find time.. and this way, people can catch up with us and nobody has to miss a second of Brady's (our baby) life. I got a camera for my birthday so I will be posting pictures too!! Yay.. I am finally joining the 21st century.. I have been reading some other blogs on here recently, friends of mine, and it has really got me motivated to do this.. and I think it will be fun.. so hang in there with me while I learn my way around the site, hopefully it won't take me too long! Hope you all enjoy... whoever you all are! ha!

So glad you've started one, too! Now, I can keep up better with all the baby stuff! Speaking of which, sorry I couldn't come eat with y'all the other night for your shower! We need to go out one night before Brady gets here...I've got a gift for you! Hugs!; August 21, 2008 at 2:05 PM

Can't wait to start 'making' things for Brady. WOW! Will be wonderful.

Your shower was so much fun. Hope you like the pearls. Every woman needs a pair of pearls when she has a baby.

luv,

All Brady's medicines:

Depakote 125mg- Started this when we began to wean off ACTH and spasms came back. So we added this with the ACTH and so far, we are seizure free! No bad side effects, just small tremors that look like he's got a chill.

Phenobarbital 32.4mg 2x daily- started when he was first diagnosed with IS. Was stopped when we started Depakote.

Topamax 15mg 3x daily- Was added while he was on the ACTH to help with partial onset seizures. Was stopped when we started Depakote.

Kelonipin 0.125mg- was tried when he wouldnt sleep. But it had him up twitching all night. Was stopped after 1 use.

Chloral Hydrate 500mg- was given when Kelonipin did not help with sleep. He took this for a week to get him back on a sleeping schedule. It worked like a charm the second go round.

Levocarnitine 100mg 2ml 3x daily- started at 4 days old for a carnitine deficiency. Was increased when we started the Depakote.

Zantac 15mg- was given along with ACTH to aid in prevention of gastric ulcers. Changed to Prevacid.

Prevacid-Started when we stopped zantac. Continued successfully throughout ACTH treatment.

Hydrocortizine 5mg- started at 4 days old for hyperglycemia. At 3 days old his blood sugar was a 12. We stopped it when we stopped ACTH and blood sugars normalized.

Hydrochlorohiazide 25mg- started toward the end of the ACTH treatment for high BP. Was stopped after ACTH stopped.

and, of course, ACTH (Acthar gel) 80 units per ml- 4 months of injections. After 3 months we began weaning when the spasms came back. So we went back up on the dose for 2 weeks then weaned again this time adding Depakote and stopping Phenobarb and Topamax. He has been spasm free since the early morning of June 10, 2009!
