So my computer was having problems last week, and we lost a bunch of data. Now it's been determined that it is actually dead, and so I'm pretty much offline until I get a new one. Which will be early May probably. Right now I'm sitting in a cybercafe on my break from work, but I doubt I'm going to be doing that too much, so don't be surprised if you don't see me around. For those concerned about my son, he was diagnosed with epilepsy and is now on new medication, and will be going back to see his pediatric neurologist for the next checkup in about a month. At the moment we're just happy to have a diagnosis. Thanks to everyone for the prayers and thoughts!

I have just thought about you this morning and wondered how you were doing..That is great news about your son, knowing now what is wrong..I will continue in prayer for you and your family, I have and had a couple members of my family that had epilepsy and don't get discouraged, but it may take a while to get his medication right for him and then be prepared as he grows that his medications also will need to be changed.. You do have your hands full and hopefully he will outgrow this and will be okay...

I check on the progress lecanis is making as I am trying to catch up in the user rankings and lecanis is a few ahead of me. I am 63 last time I checked. Maybe I can catch up a little or pass lecanis. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Bad news about the computer, but a reassurance about Dusty. I hope that the meds will stabilise him and that he will gradually improve. Take care all of you.

Oh my... it all seems to come at once for you, my friend. You're due some better luck, I feel. I hope you soon get your computer up and running again, as cyber cafes can become expensive, and also, your time is precious. It's good to hear you have a diagnosis at last, and i hope the new medication will prevent some, if not all of the attacks. It just goes to show how one medical person can see a problem where others can't, but at least you got there in the end. My prayers and energies will continue for you all, and let's home there are far happier times to come for you this year. Brightest Blessings, my friend. xxx

hello lecanis, I am so glad to hear from you I have been quite concerned. It is a relief to hear that they at least have a DX now and maybe they will be able to control his seizures. I hate to hear that you have lost your computer altogether. We will see you when we get the next chance. Love you Sweetie.

At least they figured out what's wrong (I wanted to stick that in for the computer but I'll keep to Dusty). Hopefully the doctors will turn things around with this. Keep Dusty safe and healthy along with you and your husband now. As for your computer issue, there is always newegg or tigerdirect. Also consider lots of backup (DVDs, External Harddrives)... there is also carbonite too, but that should be a last resort.

Hello lecanis! :-) I am sorry to hear about your computer. It must be frustrating, I guess. I am having problems with my computer too. Few weeks ago, I lost all my data, I am just happy that I kept back up of all crucial data. I restored my system but it crashed again, and again and again, In last couple of weeks, I have formatted my hard drive at least four times and started anew. I think my hard disk is dying. I hope you get your computer as soon as possible. I am sorry about Dusty having had to go through much, but at least now there is diagnosis, and in medical field, diagnosis is half cure. So, we can see the glass half full! :-) I hope that now that his problem is diagnosed, he can be treated accordingly and will ultimately get better. Take care of yourself too and your husband. Dusty needs you both healthy and I know that you know it. I wish you best of whatever this life has to offer! :-)

Thanks for letting us know! I hope the best for you and your son! There are a few online support groups for mothers, like cafemom, where you can gain firsthand knowledge from other moms! It's good to hear from you again!
