my cousin ahd the same thing, he is now gone to heaven with the angels, this is what i read at his funeral and made me understand a little more 

I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine, God said, 
For you to love him while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead. 
It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three; 
But will you, till I call him back, take good care of him for me? he'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, 
You'll have the lovely memories as a solace for your grief. 
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return; 
But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I've searched the whole world over, for teachers kind and true; 
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane I have chosen you... 
Now will you give him all your love? Nor think the labor pain? 
Nor hate me should the angels call, to take this child back again? To which the parents did reply... 
Dear Lord, Thy will be done. 
For all the joys thy child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run. 
We'll shelter her with tenderness, 
We'll love her while we may... 
for all the love this child will bring, 
forever grateful we will stay. 
But should the Angels call for him, 
much sooner than we've planned, 
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, 
and try to understand.

Stewart - My son Logan was also recently diagnosed with MPEI - we have tried alot of different things including a Barbituate Coma, and we will be starting the Ketogenic Diet in a couple of weeks.  Please feel free to email/contact me as I would also like to hear more about John and your family.  Also this support group has been awesome for me MPEIparentsupportgroup@yahoogroups.com I hope you and your family will find strength in knowing that you are not alone in this battle!

Sami -  I have read your CaringBridge page, and I want to applaud you for being a great Mom!  I know that there will come a time when we will lose Logan, and I can't imagine how I will survive it.  I was also curious about your other children, since Cooper was a twin, and you have at least one other child, do any of them MPEI??  I've heard it's quiet common to have more than one MPEI child in the same family.

I'm sorry about what happened to Harry. I feel terrible about your loss. My son John was diagnosed with malignant migrating epilepsy in infants two weeks ago. He is taking Triple Bromide, Steipentol, Klonipin, Keppra (which was proven to be successful in other cases in Italy, Japan etc. This all started about three weeks ago while we were in Florida and my son lips started turning blue and he stopped breathing. We then took him to the hospital. The first day he had 5 seizures and the second day he had the same amount all lasting between 15-90 seconds .Day three and four he was seizure free. Then day 5 he started having seizures again. We then took him on a medical jet straight to Children's Hospital Of Boston rated #1 in Neurology for Pediatrics. We were able to get a fast diagnosis and move forward with known successful combinations and also the Ketogenic Diet starting in ten days. My son is seven months old now and was a perfect baby that was born naturally and never had one problem till three weeks ago. I am facing an uphill battle but I am praying that my son will survive. This has been a total shock to my family and I.

I was reading this becuase my friend has a son who suffers from something like this. He has gone to many doctors but they don't know what is wrong with him, he has seizures and then his oxygen level goes low and he has to get hospitalized because he gets pneumonia, sometimes they even send her home with oxygen tanks for him. Now the doctors sre going to put a trache because he can't eat by himself and they fed him through a tube, he will never be able to talk and say mama or dada, its really sad. They also said that he might not be able to walk either. I'm writing to you to see if you could shed some light on them, the baby is only one year old and has been this way since he was born, do you know where we could look up different types of seizures?

 

Thank You,

 

Lorely

What a gorgeous gorgeous and very brave young man Harry was, as you know we lost our little man Declan in December last year when like Harry he was just simply to tired to fight anymore. Thinking of you all with love xxxx "A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies again, And though we wish it could have stayed. . . . . . We feel lucky to have seen it."

Thank you so much for creating this website. I am so moved by reading all of the entries. My beautiful daughter was diagnosed with MPEI a few months ago, and the diagnosis has taken a while to really settle in. It is wonderful to be able to connect with such brave families and pray for all of these wonderful children and angels.
