Swelling


The good news is that Hope is doing great and hardly crying at all for the past week (the gabapentin is helping). The bad news is that the gabapentin is causing so much swelling that the neurologist want to decrease the gabapentin. I'm not impressed. I'm hoping to get the doctor to actually see Hope before the decision is made to decrease the gabapentin.


The only reason they know she is this swollen is because we were unable to get bloodwork last week (three different people tried = 7 pokes) to monitor the clonazepam level. I just wanted to know if we really needed to keep poking her, and now they want to take away the one thing that is making life bearable. I'll need to be convinced.
