Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Hey there, I truly wish I had the answers for you, we have talked alot about this option for Jackie. It is something I said many times I was still saying " is this the right thing for my child up until he had the surgery " , BUT as I have said the options we had that lied before us were few, so for Brandan the thought of a second chance was what made us go forward as you know. As with the disease, even without the disease we are still faced with everyday questions in regards to Brandans health and as I have said he will always live with the effects of this disease. YES Brandan does no longer have attacks and Brandan has been now 72 days without insulin, he still has residual pain that we are looking into with CT scans to see as to why? His long acting pain medication has been discontinued it has been two weeks now since he has had it(first time in over two years), but he still does take oxycodone for pain. It had been also decreasing but due to the pain he is now experiencing some of which could be from abscesses on the inside incision. We are looking into having them removed in hopes that it will relieve some of his discomfort. IT is like always a day at a time. We take the good with the bad and wish for more good always. I pray in time and I know in my heart that he will eventually be better than he has ever been. I pray this finds Jackie doing well, we are so happy she loved the puppy. : ) Please let her know we are thinking of her and if you ever want or need to talk I am a phone call away. I was happy to read Dr. Sutherlands email, he is as I said truly an angel. As always keeping you and yours in our thoughts and prayers. Keep smiling(cuz sometimes its all one can do!) TTFN Peg.. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
