Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 The Roto virus is the one that gave Aseanth her worst stroke ever. She was paralyzed on her entire left side. Her arm and leg just dangled and she one one sided in her smile even. On top of that, Marquis (3 months at the time) ended up totally dehydrated and hospitalized at the same time Asenath was in so we had the two of them in rooms next to each other for two days. They couldn't be together because they didn't want Asenath to get worse since she was starting to recover by the time he got bad. See www.caringbridge.org/ia/mitomomof9 and this link to see a real look into Mito using a photo collage of my girls at www.heartbeatsformito.org Darla: mommy to Asenath (4) Mito, CNS Vasculitis, strokes, migraines, seizures, G-tube, hypotonicity, disautonomy, SID, dev. delays, asthma, cyclic vomiting...
