Oh Mandy, I'm sending you all the strength I can muster with tears rolling down my cheeks. Girl, I'm from a family with many mental disorders, and you are very fortunate to be living in a time of such advanced medical and medicinal advancement.

I'm not comparing her to Chloe (a little girl in my life) but your baby does have some of the same issues. Chloe was put in more advanced classes, given extra activities (ice skating, karate, gymnastics that wear her out,) is seeing excellent psychologists, etc. They attacked her problem at all angels all at once, and in just a couple months she has come so, so far and frequents her "dark place" less often. Have faith that your little one will break through her troubles. You mean so much to me - always around when I need you. If there's anything I can do, I'm here.

Mandy, hang in there. You are her mother and you have the "motherly instincts" to do what you feel is right. I am praying for you and your family.

However, if you are going to blame my marriage, or family members for my daughter problems, please don't bother.
:speechles

It makes me sad that you have had this experience! It's just not right!!

You have my prayers and best wishes. I can't begin to imagine what you and your daughter are going through. Bless her sweet little heart. You are doing everything you can and getting answers along the way.

Ok, saw the Neuro today and here is what he had to say. Abigale is having seizures, lots of them. He is not sure why, but we are going to work together and find out. She is having an MRI the first week in Feb, right before my birthday. They are going to have to sedate her, maybe me too, and they are doing 2 MRI's one with contrast and one without. Until then we are going to start Depakote and hope to control the seizures. We have to be careful with her in regards to her getting overheated, out of breath and dizzy. The Neuro doc said that even if we had the MRI today there is noting we can do until the seizures are under control. There is a chance that is could be a brain tumor, a "short circuit" in her brain or just a really bed seizure disorder that affects the brain. He didn't want to talk about long term damage until we see what we are up against. He also said that if the MRI shows nothing there is a chance that she will outgrow this, granted it is only a 30% chance but at least there is a chance. If there is something in the MRI she is young and healthy, so her chances are really good. We are going to continue the Zoloft for at least another 4-6 months. Both doctors agree that until the seizures are better the panic attacks are going to be there. This explains sooo many of the behavior problems that we have been dealing with, and hopefully this will be the solution, instead of bipolar meds. We are sooo thankful for the prayers, well wishes, both public and private. You guys are so important to my family, not just me. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, the journey is long still and the road seems bumpy, but we will make it. I am sitting here and not feeling like crying for the first time in I can't remeber how long. I think we may have actually make some progress in helping my baby today. Again, thanks for all the love support and kindness you have given to me, my baby and my hubby, you can't possibly know how much it has helped us in our journey. ~Mandy

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
