Hi, I know you don’t know me, but I have been reading your blog off and on since I met you on scrapjazz and we were pregant close to the same time around 2004-6. You have inspired me in more ways than one. I have been praying for Ky since she was born. I will now add your health to my prayers. You are an amazingly strong woman!

I was lurking over here from my sister’s blog and saw where you mentioned maybe trying Lasix. My daughter was on Lasix for a year and had little to no side effects. She needed it to relieve the fluid build-up around her heart and lungs and without it she wouldn’t be here today. It definitely did it’s job well and of course since it is a diuretic her urine output increased dramatically so that is one thing to expect from taking it. So if you’re needing a drug to get rid of excess fluid in your body to take some pressure off, this is a great one with very minimal side effects

I am so glad you posted that. When you posted Kyleigh’s I hoped you would post yours as well. I knew from the beginning that I didn’t understand exactly what your neuro issues were, but just to connect with someone else who had them gave me comfort. For the headaches, see if your doctor can prescribe something like atarax. It is an antihistamine, but sometimes it helps my girls’ headaches when nothing else does. Yet, most doctors, even neuro’s, don’t think to use it for that. Sometimes, of course, nothing helps. I pray for you every day and will keep it up. I pray more specifically when you post, but more fervently when you haven’t posted in several days.
