About Me![]()
Maddy and Robby![]() "Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful." -- Annette Funicello RobbyMy beautiful boy, Robby, is 8 and was born with a genetic abnormality of unknown etiology.

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
Blessed Because of You Two
As your mommy I am constantly reminded of how fortunate I am to have such wonderful children. I am grateful Madison that you are healthy, and I am grateful Robby that God has given me more time than expected with you.
I think God graced me with a horrible pregnancy with Madison to help me be thankful for the amazing little girl he gave me. I think he gave me such an easy pregnancy with Robby to balance out all the tough times that were lying ahead for me with him. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about how you two came into my life and changed it for the better. The last 10 years have been both life altering and inspiring. You have made me a better, stronger person and for that I thank you. Love, your mama ![]() "Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages at different times." -- unknown ![]() "You've developed the strength of a draft horse while holding onto the delicacy of a daffodil ... you are the mother, advocate and protector of a child with a disability." -Lori Borgman FollowersCheck me out on Facebook!Seizure Meds We Have Tried
1. Phenobarbitol ( Discontinued because seizures changed)
2. Topamax (currently on and working well) 3. Keppra (Robby was on this at the same time as the Lamictal for added seizure control, but we discontinued this med due to major behavior issues) 4. Lamictal (Discontinued because seizures changed) 5. Clonipan (discontinued, caused behavior issues) 6. Zonegran (discontinued because it made him like Jekyll and Hyde, horrible mood changes) 7. Vimpat (Currently on and taken with the Topamax. Working well) |
