Zack on ACTH




So, we were sent home expecting to get horrible side effects and expecting the worst. I am pleased to say that other than a couple of high blood pressure readings and a puffy face he did very well. He was excitable and laughed and smiled all the time. He slept well and of course...ate like a piggy. We continued to notice spasms for a while. They became less frequent and by about 3 weeks into treatment stopped. His follow up EEG two weeks later confirmed no more hypsarrhythmia. They called Dr. Zelaya immediately...he was quite surprised to say the least. We kept on with the weaning schedule.
