I know it's frustrating when you "know" something isn't right...but you can't figure out what it is. Trust me, I've been there and done that...hope for the best...whatever it may be...that you find the answer and get back to feeling like yourself again. Good luck, I'll keep you in my prayers...

I got a pair of regular glass last time (bi-focals) and a pair of prescription computer glasses. I LOVE the computer glasses. They just have you figure out about how far you sit from your monitor, then they figure the strength you need. They are wonderful.

Hmmmm...I do wear bifocals. I've never even heard of computer glasses, must check into that. My eye doctor says I'm this close to trifocals...what next???

Ok, you need to have one of those doctors adopt you so you can get a discount! That's a whole basket of appointments there lady. Take a good book to while away the time waiting.

MRI's are soooo much fun.

I hope all goes well.

Hello, Omega!! I am so far doing fine. A little tired but I thank God everyday that I can still walk and do everything normally. I hope your MRI goes fine. Its like putting your head in a tin bucket and someone tapping loudly on it. I have had 2 and they were ok. Just have to keep perfectly still.Its funny how when you have to be perfectly still, your nose starts to itch!!!!!!!LOL Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if they will find anything... I just know I have a lot of blood from the past few weeks going all over MN. LOL.

Wow, I'm sorry your little one is having seizures. That must be really hard. Do you know what is causing them? Give him/her a hug for me.

He has febriale seizures cause from spikes in your body temp. But because of the frequency of them they are thinking its more a trigger seizure because he doesnt go into convulsions of shaking.. he twitches and makes an uhh uhh sound. its scary as hell though everytime he has one we get flown to the childrens hosp in phx for 3-4 days. its not fun at all.. Trigger seizures from what i'm being told is a type of seizure that isnt like one. Meaning your body doesnt react like a grand mal or like how bubba does. Sorry if this confuses you.. But your neurologist will explain everything to ya they are the brain folks that love to tell jokes and are on the lighter side of life.. We love ours.. I hope you feel comfortable with yours. We've also given tons and tons of blood too some even to tx for additional testings dont worry you want them to test for everything so nothing is left out.. its better that way.

Will he ever outgrow them?

One of my son's teachers has MS and she must be going on 60. Wonderful, caring lady. She has been ok just till recently when she has had a bit of a hard time walking. I hope yours progresses really slowly, too.

Theres a possibility. Bruce isn't like most babies he's special ( i refuse to say challenged) he is delayed due to late diagnosis of hydrocephalus and every day can be a struggle but just makes him that more special and his character is building more and more each day. For febrial seizures they are the most common in even a normal child or baby and they can outgrow them by 4-5 yrs of age. Bruce hopefully will in that time frame but I prepare myself for the worst and will definately welcome the best..

Hook up with a Dr?????

I'm really frustrated this morning with all this. It takes me so much longer to type stuff. I get so mad at myself.

I AM thankful that I can even see, etc... it's just that it gets frustrating at times.

Omega, I am praying for you today and hoping the doctor will have answers for you. May God continue to give you the peace you need.

Connie · 02-26-2008, 08:06 AM
