This is just too sad. My eyes are watering as I type this. It does sound as if you've got a great doc, though.
My question is, while looking for a preventative that is effective (maybe Verapamil?) is it not possible to try one of the standard abortives to give some immediate relief to Steve? I don't know how well-tolerated the triptans would be by one so young, but from my research, they seem to have the highest percentage of success with episodic CHers, higher even than O2.
Your posts are incredibly touching, Karen. It sounds like you have an absolutely wonderful little boy. I hope SOOOOO much that you find something that works, soon.
