Baclofen

Today marks the 3rd day Lilly has been on her new medication, Baclofen. It is a generic form of Lioresal and is primarily used to treat spasticity which is also referred to as an unusual "tightness" of muscles that occurs from damage to the brain or spinal cord.

Since she has started this new medicine, Lilly has been more relaxed, sleeps more, and cries less.
This, not only makes Lilly happy, but allows Emily and me to have somewhat quieter days and nights. She still cries quite a bit and is still tense, but is more comfortable and more manageable. We love her so much!

Hopefully, one day, we can look back at this time with Lilly and know that it was only for our benefit. I know that, will the help of Heavenly Father, our friends, and family, we will do just that when the time comes.
