-was the start of her maintenance. Her Dr. refer her to maintain the PHENOBARBITAL an anti-convulsant, used as an antiepileptic agent to control tonic-clonic and partial seizures.. It's a small tablet that should be take in 100 days or in 3months.. She should take it before sleeping.. Dylan is very alive and very happy, she's not the type of "HARD-TO-HANDLE" baby.. And she never act like having a convulsion ever since UNTIL she takes this kind of maintenance.. From the very first night she take that med, she was uneasy, uncomfortable, and even if she was so sleepy she can't sleep because of that medicine, it is always early in the morning like 5am or 6am that's the time she fell asleep instead sleeping like 10pm or 11pm.. Every night when she take that med she always feel that uneasiness and vice versa, there's 1 night that she was like having a convulsion, she easily got angered or annoyed whenever I talked to her.. Many nights she keeps on shouting.. I feel her, as a mother i know she don't like the med she's taking.. FINALLY 3months is over having hard time on taking that med... AND now back to her Neurologist Dr.Bayana..

Last Week of August, 2013
As we were in the Doctors Clinic at CUMC in Cagayan de Oro City as the follow-up check up begins, conversation starts I told the Dr. of what was Dylan's behavior during maintaining that drug for three months, and YES Finally he changed PHENOBARBITAL to TEGRETOL, an anti-convulsant/mood stabilizing Agent.. Honestly the Doctor is confused whether he will changed or not due to expensiveness of the new maintenance.. So, I ask first if how long it takes the new medicine maintenance, He said (while calculating) it is good for 2 months, so I said "Okey".. We were not that poor but not that rich.. Having the Doctor's receipt on my hand, I feel so hopeful because I am hoping Dylan would love her new anti-convulsant.. Then I buy just One bottle of Tegretol.. Luckily she LOVES it, whenever she take this med after a couple of minutes she fall asleep.. She doses it 2 times a day 2.5ml in the morning and 2.5ml at night, a total of 5ml everyday, which contains a white suspension of 100mg Carbamazepine..
After two weeks I was little disappointed because she is running out of her meds.. Tegretol was actually good for 20days, as i know that the Dr.Bayana told me it will lasts for 2months.. Well, Tegretol is only 100ml and of course 5ml per day so, it really takes only good for 20days.. But I'm still blessed.. God is good, ALL the time.. and ALL the time, God is good.. He never let me down and I can always FIND ways with HIS help.. :) I am so thankful for her new medicine, because Dylan loves it so much unlike the first med.. :)
