Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Keely, I'm new to the group and though I don't understand all of the meanings, I do appreciate the relief and glad for plans and protocol. After 7 months of Chloe making 2-4 trips a month to the ER and medication adjustments with no real help or answers, I am hoping we will hear something in the next few weeks on her biopsy results and also develop a plan. Today they are doing an MRI and this last Tuesday they did her video EEG, last week her muscle biopsy. Bless you and all of our children and parents.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 > Keely, It sounds weird to say congratulations on a diagnoses of mito but we all know that knowing means better treatment in the long run. I am glad that he is starting the cocktail and hopefully that help him improve or slow the disease process. Also it is great that you are getting the Er letter...unfortunately it will probably come in handy! Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I do feel wierd for being happy about this... But with myself i spent the first 22 years of my life knowing something was wrong, and being told something was wrong, but nobody having a clue what it was or what to do about it.... i cringed at the idea of my baby living the same life... at least with this diagnosis we have a starting point and a name... its strange that its such a relief, but i see it as an end to the testing stage, which is wonderful. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I am happy you were able to get a specific form. It is so nice to know exactly what is going on rather than having to guess. All but one of our specialists believe Mito is the cause for our girls, but the one is really causing it to be confusing to the hospital staff when the girls are inpatient. We have to settle for assumed/unknown form of Mito. I hope your diagnosis will help to better treat 's Mito.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Keely, I'm glad the biopsy results gave you that much needed information. Wish it weren't mito, ya know, but i always think it's better to have the diagnosis than to wonder. YAY that he will be starting on the cocktail. I'll cross fingers and toes and all else that it gives him good results. ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
