New Treatment Finally Begins

Good news...Coby's ready to start Dr. Sisson's new treatment protocol! YAY! We started his new anti-seizure medication Zonisamide tonight and began tapering him off the Phenobarbital. We will start the mega dose of Prednisone tomorrow morning. Take a look at my baby's medication schedule for the next 3 days!!


It took me at least an hour to put his entire medication schedule together. With all the medication changes - whether adding or discontinuing medication, decreasing or increasing medication doses, figuring out what blood work needs to be done when in conjunction with certain medication - it is overwhelming to say the least! But...I emailed my "medication schedule" to Dr. Sisson for his review - I had to make sure I had every med/dose/time correct. We're all set....however, it looks as if Coby will be on medication until at least mid-November.

Please continue to pray for Coby! Hopefully he responds VERY well to the medication and can be in FULL remission for his entire life!
