I was so glad when Taylor was weaned from Aminophylline (a form of Theo), the
docs said that he might get a little lethargic, cause the aminophylline had a
tendancy to make kids hyper, but we didn't see much change. I was just glad
to be rid of the meds and of the constant blood level checks.
save some of the theo, and put it in your lotion, supposed to be good for
cellulite ya know (ha, ha).

Steve, try to remember that her ventricles will always be a bit larger than
normal. Our neuro explained that it's a little like a balloon that's been
blown up, it will never return to normal size. Having slighly larger
ventricles is not a big problem as long as there is not a significant build
up of fluid. It's the pressure from the fluid that causes the problems.
congradulations on them doing so well!!
