Baclofen test dose done today

Britney finally got her test dose of Baclofen today and it went really really well. She already is much much looser and in less pain in her neck arms and legs. She is over her infection, and has been very alert the past week looking at people when they talk much of the time. It was hard to find someone to do the test dose because the Craig Dr. who usually does it was on vacation the past 2 weeks and they went through many options of people in interventional radiology and anesthesia at St. Luke's trying to get it set up and by the time they did Dr. Ripley came back in town and did it today. It's probablly better that way so that she would have time to get over her infection. The kids are very happy. We talk on the web cam 1-2X per day. It's much better than talking on the phone. I am flying back next weekend for a day and a half.

  2. That's great news. How are the kids doing? I'm sure it helps to see you while talking to you. How often are they seeing Britney? I'm so glad they are with family in a happy home environment. Thinking of Britney each and every day. Thanks for posting.

  3. Thanks for keeping us updated, you do a great job John. I'm glad you get to talk on the webcam with the kids frequently. That helps us a lot when Todd travels too. Your family continues to be in our prayers. Love, The Stong Family
