So Many Decisions..........

We took Jonathan to the Neurologist yesterday, this is the first time we have seen her since the Hospital stay. She is a very nice doctor and seems very knowledgeable in her field. We had many questions for her and she answered most of them well. But I am just not happy with her way of treatment. Which seems the answer to all his problems is just give him more medican. And I am not crazy about that, the medican is having some sie effects we don't desire for our little guy. It is making him so sleepy he can hardly function at times, and the aggressiveness is getting worse. The sleepy part I cant deal with, I miss the way he used to be. It makes me sad everyday when he is wiped out by lunch time. She wants us to double his dosage and see how he does, but I am scared to do this as I think it will make him even more sleepy. He is still having seizures and I know we need to get them under control but I am not sure to keep drugging him is the best option. SO now we are starting our search for a new Child Neurologist to get a second opinion. We have considered Vanderbilt and the hospital in Chattanooga. We still have to do a little more research and see which would be the best fit for us. This is a very frustrating process as I want to trust the doctor and do what she says but my gut does not think it is the best. I guess I need another Doctor to tell me the same thing then I will be ok. But you never know they may something totally different. I just want to make sure I am doing what is best for Jonathan so he can be a normal little boy who can play with out falling asleep. I will continue to search and PRAY that God will give us wisdom as we decide what to do. If anyone out there had any advice send it my way.
