I have been having a lot of trouble with James the last couple of weeks. We did find out that he has mono and has had it for a few weeks. We also went back to the doctor yesterday because he has not been sleeping at all and having dizziness and other issues. They did another echo yesterday and determined that his gradient has gone from 25 to 60 now. So they have put him back on the Toprol, also on Fludrocort to help with fluids in his body and also Atarax to help him relax and sleep at night. I am hoping with these three medicines he will settle down some and we will see some normalcy. They also put an event monitor on him and we have sent a couple of transmission to the doctor's office. We were suppose to go to Washington D.C. next week but they have decided it would not be good for him. He is getting tired really easily and I don't think he could handle all of the touring, walking and going. We also decided he would not play ball either. Just throwing the ball around was making him extremely tired as well.
I think his sleep issues could be from stress. I know he seems on the outside to handle things pretty good, but I feel that when he gets in his room alone and settles down that it weighs heavily on his mind. I know I am almost 40 and would upset me. He is only 12. Anyway, just wanted to let you know what is going on with James.
Thanks, Janet
