Bless her heart - all the medication is probably taking a toll on her tummy - please keep us posted - I have her in my prayers still - I'm so glad she's home with you

Thanks for the continued prayers and info. Im off for the next 7 days, so ill be on Icee watch. I just got back from band practice and icee is doing better. She actually ate some of her hard food..... she attacked it tyo 55555555aus12u222222222222 <------ icee jumped on the keyboard to tell you all hi.

The phenobarb is working well. She hasn't had a seizure since she's been put on it. Her little body is trying to adjust to it. She gets a little shaky sometimes and is still constipated. We tried, mineral oil, meta mucil, milk of magnesia. But her little tummy is just tired i guess.


It's amazing how these little babies know when they are safe. The minute she got home, her heart rate relaxed, respirations slowed, and she really looked better.

Here she is now,

here, hehe

She is absolutely precious and I am so sorry to hear that you are having to go through this with very few answers. I hope that she starts feeling better soon!

Im so happy that Icee havent had any more seizures since taking phenobarb. I agreed this babies are very smart. I hope she keeps improving every day. She is so beautiful, God Bless her. TY for keeping us posted. Gucci sents her puppy kisses.

I don't know any of you guys, but it's cool to come here and ........vent i guess. Im trying to stay up with her all night. My wife has to work, and i don't wont her up with the baby, so im watching her during the day, and at night while katie sleeps. Good to have all of your comments to read. I too am glad she is doing better.


Thanks again

I've been following this thread...
 

And I hope Icee is doing better and that you and your family have safely weathered Katrina.

When and if you can, would love an update.

Thoughts and prayers sent your way.

Chad - I'm so glad she's doing better and WHAT A DOLL she is !! She is just adorable and you are a great dad....Good job guy

I can tell she is very loved and wish you the very best ....I hope she gets better and better and has no more of those awful seizures ...- this whole thread is great - you really were specific and kept us updated on little Icee - thank you and GOOD LUCK !

Well for all that where wondering. I am in Southwest louisiana about 70 miles from any Hurricane Katrina weather. Our weather was actually beautiful. BUT.........we sent about 12 of our guys (fire fighters) to NO, they are there now. Its not pretty. As you could imagine, there are dead bodies everywhere. Pray for their safe return.

Thanks

As for Icee, she is doing absolutely wonderful. Eating, sleeping, biting, peeing, pooping........YAY!!! She is showing very few effects from the phenobarb, so her body is getting used to it. Thanks for all the prayers. She is at about 125% now, lol


Chad

Wheewww
 

Sigh of relief..... Glad to hear all is well in Icee land. Now the prayers are for your neighbors...

I just saw this thread and read every word.

I am so glad Icee is doing better. You are such a trooper for being so diligent, taking care of her and being with her during the night. Way to go, Dad! :)

Thank you!!



Prayers are for my fellow fire fighters that got sent to New Orleans. I had to stay at the station, but one of our shifts got sent.


Thanks

Oh, what a precious baby!
 

Just catching up on these threads.

Chad -- she is THE cutest thing I have ever seen. I'm so happy to hear she is making a strong recovery. How scary to see your baby so sick!

Keep posting those pictures! She is a doll.

Seizures
 

My heart goes out to you and Your little baby. I also have a yorkie named Sgt. Pepper and he too has seizures. They started when he was 3 months old. He is now 11 years old. The seizures last any where from 1 min. to 10 min. All I can do when he has these sezures is hold him close to me and talk softly to him. He know I love him and somehow I think he knows that I am there for him. I also think that he sences that they are about to come on because he will come to me and sit at my feet and the next thing you know he has gone into an attack and I pick him up and hold him close to me.
He has been to the vet for this problem and has been taking phenobarbitol for the last 11 years. I hate to see these spells happen to him but there really isn't anything I can do but love him and hold him and make sure that he does not hurt him self during the spell. He also had kidney stones and had to have emergency surgey to remove them. The vet found 15 stones in the penial shaft and he now pees through the base of his little penis. He dribbles down his leg everytime he goes potty and the poor little thing is so pitiful to watch. Sgt. Pepper only weighs in at 4.5 Pounds and has the heart of a giant. I know that I could lose him at any time and I have had to prepare myself for that. I hope that when his time comes to meet God that I am there with him. I want my little Pepper to know that he will not go alone. I know that I will have to deal with a broken heart when God takes my little buddy but I also know that he will no longer suffer...
