Ann & ,

Your post caught my eye because I recall after Mark's

EEG his neurologist explained the results not seizures but mis firings taking

place every now and then HMMMM. It is something to think about for sure.

Well, Mark is doing well. We are still trying to get a handle on

the " bladder: issue. He is having Botox injected into the bladder wall Aug. 26

in an attempt to help with bladder spasms. Medication has not helped like we

had hoped. Never a dull moment. He is now taller than I am and weighs more too

YIKES!

Thanks, . I can recall other children having random firings as well

but I'm not sure if I read it here on the CHARGE list or on one of the

communication/language lists I am on.

How is Mark doing now? It sounds like things are going better now?

You may recall that we've have issues of late-onset incontenence with ,

have gone through an MRI, CAT, etc. but have never found a reason. Please,

please keep me posted about what happens with the botox. Thanks. Martha
