Over the last 4 weeks, her progress has been amazing. She had a few small seizures but she is on predisone and phenobarbitol and she is doing better now. She can stand and walk for a few seconds. She eats and drinks like a champ. She has the heart of a lion and constantly inspires me daily. She has a light inside her that refuses to be extinguished! She is still not normal but she gets stronger everyday and she is determined to live every day to the fullest, which is what we all should be doing. I am very proud of my little girl, and am so grateful that I am her Mommy! Please keep praying for her!  |
Jewel had GME also and we were on phone consutation with Dr. Vernau at UC Davis. She has a deep interest in GME and when I was working with her she was trying to get a research grant. If she is not your doctor at UCD, you may want to see if you can meet with her. She is wonderful, answered my calls and emails even when she was on vacation.
You have the best care possible - Stay strong for that beautiful baby of yours.
