I am posting some pics I came across when going through stuff. It was before I had a digital camera. This is Jax after he'd been intubated for 2 months. Sedation meds no longer worked for him. It was about 8 days before his devastating brain injury. Notice he still has the same hairdo.
Neurology appointment didn't go too bad. He is upping 2 of the 3 siezure meds to see if that helps at all. We talked about how we will find a new med that will help the siezures for a few months, and then they start to get worse and worse again. I just hope we can control them before he goes into status again. Some doctors look at his EEG and think he's in status. Because his EEG shows constant siezure activity. But you have to look closely at the lines to see true siezures and abnormal activity. Plus you can tell by looking at him because he is in neverland when he's in status. Staring off into space. So we'll hope this increase works. If not, they can admit him and try high doses of meds like valium, that has been shown to work sometimes. But I'm not doing anything that requires inpatient right now. We've had 4 admits this year so far, and thats enough.
Tomorrow, I get Jax new stroller, wahoo.
Have you ever seen someone so excited over a stroller?
Stay tuned for pics of him in his new ride tomorrow night.

Can't wait for tomorrow's pictures of the new wheels. It sounds like you at least made a little progress with neurology - now you just need to hear from Boston. Seriously what is taking so long????
You should let us know if you are going to the pool sometime - we could maybe meet you over there. I still need to get my kids over there (besides swimming lessons).
Give Jaxson a big hug!
Kristi and Carter
That will be so awesome! When Addy was on O2 and continuous feeds that would have been a lifesaver! I'm so glad you are getting it!
