After lots of discussion, note taking and analyzing we came to the conclusion that my Valium drugs are not working anymore. We have been talking with my neonatologist, Dr. Gien a lot to try and come up with an alternative. After weighing all our options, we finally decided on phenobarbital.
I had my loading dose today and have been sleeping ever since. This is a really good sign so far! Over the next few weeks, we will wean me off my Valium drugs which over time will help make them more effective for me again.
The next few days will be the test. I just need to keep my heart rate down and my oxygen levels up.
