Just had to tell you that I am so sorry for your loss of such beautiful little man. Your son looks so much like mine. In fact, my other little boy saw Andrew's picture and said, "Is that Brandon?" Your page really hit home for me. Thank you for your words here. I am hoping I am as strong as you to go thru all of the stages when they happen. Hope you are doing well :o)Warmly, Alisa Ballou <alisaballou@yahoo.com> Douglas, MA United State - Wednesday, March 16, 2011 3:48 PM CDT Thinking of you Paulina. Sending prayers to heal your heart.

(((HUGS))) Iris and Nina Iris Giega <jophiel@netcologne.de> Leverkusen, NRW Germany - Thursday, December 24, 2009 7:07 AM CST MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN.. I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below. With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart, but I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear and be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you. So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. ~~ Anonymous Holly Bays Kenton, ohio USA - Wednesday, December 9, 2009 11:43 AM CST Hi Pauline, I've been thinking about you today and just wanted to say hello.

I know you are with them every moment so please let them know that you are there. Heaven's Child I would want you not to cry, It's just a part of life to die. I know you miss me and you're sad, But dying isn't something bad. I'm only just beyond your sight, I've gone with Angles to the light. I send to all of you my love, From Heaven's garden up above. I like it here I'm having fun, And I'm with the holy one. Right now I'm sitting on His knee, With Jesus watching over me. So many ones I knew before, Were waiting here at Heaven's Door. To welcome me with open arms, And keep me safe and warm. So when you think of me please smile, For I will see you in a little while. Trust the Lord He's told me why, He wants me here to paint the sky. With rainbows, clouds, and shining lights, To brighten days and warm your nights. Remember what I said before, Please don't cry for me anymore. I'm Heaven's Child now you see, I play with Angles surrounding me. I can fly with the speed of thought, To be with you when you need me most. So just remember I love you, And I know you love me too. And even now while we're apart, I'm still right here ... I'm in your heart.

At this time let's all reach out to God in prayer: 1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. 4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. Psalms 63:1-4 (NIV) Carl Alleyne <hiphopempowerment@gmail.com> Boston, MA USA - Monday, May 18, 2009 6:09 AM CDT Don't Grieve For Me. Author Unknown Don't Grieve for me, for now I am free I am following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, ot love, to work or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day, If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow, My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief, Lift your heart up and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free. Many Prayers for Andrew. I am sorry that you all are having to go through this, I cannot imagine how hard the loss is going to be on the family. Andrew's wings will shine bright when he goes home to God, and he will be in peace and he will be free. Andrew has given something special to my family, by just knowing him from afar. He has touched my heart, and I will forever hold a piece of him in my heart. Sendign you guys many hugs and praying that Andrew goes home to God painlessly and peacefully.

My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry your sweet angel and your family are going through this. I know the fear of losing your child but I do not know the reality of it, so all I can say is Im so sorry. I do not understand it! I do not think its fair that our children have been given this life. But i know that God must have a reason for it so I try to keep faith in that and I pray that you can do that too. I think that Andrew will have so many jewels on his crown in heaven. It will be so good for him to not hurt, walk, talk, run, laugh, and have fun like he always should have been able to. He will no longer have to suffer, but I know that you will. I just hope that these thoughts can maybe help you get through this some, but I know that if I was going through that right now that nothing said or done would help. I'm so sorry and if you need anything please dont hesitate to ask. I will keep saying prayers for Andrew!

I believe God loaned Andrew to you because of your caring, loving hearts. He is now preparing a wonderful place for Andrew so He can be with him forever. John 14:2 says "In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so I would have told you. I go there to prepare a place for you." God needed someone to take care of His prized possession just long enough to prepare this wonderful place for him.

The New Family <anewteacher08@yahoo.com> - Friday, March 20, 2009 9:43 PM CDT Hello Jumps, I had not checked out the webpage in a while and was saddened to see the recent decline. I cannot comprehend how you must be feeling. I can only offer you my assurance that I will pray for you all every day. My friend's mother, who passed after a long battle with illness, said that death is the ultimate healing. I know it is not what any of us wants to think about but I found those words comforting. I am not sure how you will say goodbye, but I have to believe that God is with Drew all the time now and Drew will take His hand when he is ready. Jo Ann <joann.mccaughan@gallatin.kyschools.us> - Friday, March 20, 2009 12:12 AM CDT Paulina, my chest literally aches after reading your post. I so wish there were some words of wisdom or scripture that I could offer up to you to make this nightmare easier to endure. However, I know that surely there is no earthly salve to ease the pain of what you and Colin are facing. You look into the face of this precious treasure that is Andrew, and how could you ever want to let him go? My prayer is that when that time comes you will feel all the love that God and so many people have for your family and that a peace will settle over you knowing that Andrew is in a place where there no pain, just love. Cathy Abernathy <cabernat@truvista.net> Chester, SC - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 5:28 PM CDT You are in our prayers.

Missa Kalamazoo, - Wednesday, March 18, 2009 7:04 AM CDT Alicia, John, Ciara, Hunter, & ^^Angel^^ Tommy (MPS-III) BENNETT CHILDREN'S JOURNAL <mps3mom@hotmail.com> - Tuesday, March 17, 2009 7:46 PM CDT My thoughts are so much with you and your family. I am a hospice cna and have helped lots of families in there time of need. The hardest part of my job was caring for the young ones and their famlies. One family I think about the most, was the family of a young lady 20 yrs (lung cancer)who lost her battle. The parents told me that yes it is very sad to lose her but God has plans for her and hes taking her home. It was a great lost for them and their family when she passed, but such a big honor for God to have her home, such a happy, charming, beautiful angel has come back home to him. So you see they told me that they didn't lose her, they were blessed to have had her be part of their lives. Eventhough she was only with them for a breif time, she had touched everyone with her love. She will always be in their hearts and their thoughts. For when it was time for them to go home to God she will be there to greet them. That was ten years ago and when I have to go to a family that needs me, I tell them that God needs his angel home but not to feel like its a lost but to feel like you have been blessed with one of his angels and that angel will always be with them forever. I'm so sorry for your lost but be strong and God bless you all. Joanne <joanne00350@yahoo.com> Wilmington, MA U S A - Sunday, March 15, 2009 2:53 PM CDT Paulina, I'm so sorry that Andrew is suffering.

Great to hear Andrew is doing good right now.I cannot imagine how hard this must be, it breaks my heart to see how much mps effects our children in so many ways. When we get over one hurdle another just pops right up. Know that you are not alone, hugs to your beautiful Andrew, God Bless you all and i will keep you in my prayers. I do hope your back heals fast and that the nurses job comes through, who better qualified for that job, then a family member, eh? Sending you a shamrock of Irish luck.. God Bless Geraldine Smyth <geraldinesmyth@gmail.com> Galway, Ireland - Sunday, November 9, 2008 10:30 AM CST Kim & Scotty MPS II <cottons@earthlink.net> Modesto, CA - Friday, October 31, 2008 6:45 PM CDT I know I signed earlier but I wanted to tell you from one MPS/ML mom to another MPS/ML mom that I totally relate to the back problems. As you already know, I have three herniated discs and have for 3 years now. Unfortunately, I have tried the gammut of therapies and I pray that the shots will help relieve some of your discomfort but I do want to add that for the same reasons I have not had surgery, you probably should not either. We are the sole caregivers (most of the time)for these boys and even if in this great day in age, what great day right, they are not any closer to pefecting spine surgeries and once you have one, odds are you'll keep needing more and more so don't hurry into anything surgical right away. Try PT, a chiropracter and shots before anything more serious. My cousin is an ortho surgeon and he was here last week and still thinks I'm better off without surgery. The medication did not work for me either, it made things worse by disguising the pain and then I would do more than I should have. Now that I don't take anything, I know when I absolutely can not pick up Zachie any more in a day and within a few days, I can grunt through it again. It is not better, but I can handle the pain. With all this said, I truly pray that yours is different and will be helped with some kind of therapy but knowing all I know and being a mom like you, I know you'd rather hear the truth than fluff so try all the other options FIRST!! I say all of this with only love and your best interest at heart, I know how very much you care for Andrew both emotionally and PHYSICALLY. It's more than a lot and it has definitely taken its toll on your body. Mine too but I would much rather deal with the pain than NOT be able to take care of him for one day. Its all I can give him so I do. I love you and hope that you find something that helps!!! HUGS!!! Brenda Haggett, I-Cell/ML mom to Zachie <jhrufus@aol.com or www.caringbridge.org/visit/zachie> Syracuse, NY usa - Thursday, October 30, 2008 3:45 PM CDT OMG, Paulina, I just said the very same thing. The little things that everyone takes for granted are the most beautiful moments for us!! A Haircut by someone who actually gets it and is patient and understanding!! He looks as Dashing as Superman should!!! I hope that you now have some more answers as far as his kidney issue. Andrew has been through so much and he still keeps on going and fighting like a true hero does. We send our prayers daily and pray for his continued comfort, yours too mama!!! :-) Brenda Haggett, I-Cell/ML mom to Zachie <jhrufus@aol.com or www.caringbridge.org/visit/zachie> Syracuse, NY usa - Thursday, October 30, 2008 8:58 AM CDT I think of you all often...I love the homepage photo - how handsome and sweet he still looks!!!

Misty Jump <Mistyvp@hotmail.com> Florence, KY USA - Monday, January 28, 2008 8:58 AM CST Hello, you don't know me but I had to put an entry here. My daughter Jessica is 9 years old-when she was 2 we were given a Dx of Sanfillipo, however after almost a year of testing it was finally discovered this was a misdiagnosis. After reading your journal about how you were told of your son's diagnosis, it brought all of the memories back...our stories are so much alike as to how we found out. I'm happy to report that Jessica is healthy today, although we are dealing with developmental delays,mental health issues and hearing loss. This is nothing in comparison to the horrible things that MPS does to these children's bodies! I just wanted to let you know that there are people out there who do care and want to lend support in whatever way possible. The experiences that I went through made me realize that life is so precious and not to be taken for granted. I am so greateful for the opportunity to have my daughter in my life every day. My prayers are with you and your son as you continue to struggle through this process. Michelle Shelton <Michelle.Shelton@st-francis.org> Arkansas City, KS USA - Friday, January 25, 2008 1:43 PM CST I am so sorry to hear about Andrew's walking. It breaks my heart to hear this.

This journey of ours just gets harder all the time doesn't it??!! I signed the guestbook some time ago now but I am always checking for updates on how Andrew is going. My sister has a mild form of this nasty disease but I still have hope as she is 27 (was only diagnosed when she was 25) but I miss the sister that I grew up with and the fun times we always had. We still have fun these days but only as much as this disease will allow as she doesn't really communicate any more. Some days are so much harder than others.

Try giving a senna tablet each day, opposite the Miralax. For example, if he gets the capful of it at 9am, give the senna tablet at 9pm. I think you will see an improvement. AFO braces did wonders for Lindsey's balance and walking. I wish we had done them a year earlier than we did. Hope things continue to improve.

David, Amanda, & Aubrey New <anew@midway.edu> - Sunday, October 1, 2006 10:08 AM CDT Hi Andrew! We've been thinking about you and wanted to stop by and see how you are doing. I know your mom and dad have a lot of big decisions to make for you, I wish you didn't have to go through all of this yucky stuff. We are praying for you! Love, Kris, Kraiggy and Chels Kris Klenke <kklenke@madisontelco.com * * * www.caringbridge.org/il/kraig/ * * *> Worden, IL - Tuesday, September 26, 2006 6:43 PM CDT I'm sorry that you have to make these hard decision (sp?), whatever you choose, its the right decision. Love from Vibeke Vibeke <vibekehovd@hotmail.com> Skaun, Trondheim, Norway - Wednesday, September 20, 2006 5:04 AM CDT Paulina, I feel your heartache in your words. This disease stinks that is for sure. I have been in mourning mode myself lately and I am not facing such a decision. No one ever wants to be in this position and you certainly would never imagine when you bring your baby into the world that this will be where the journey leads you. You and Colin have showered Andrew with more love and affection than some people ever receive in a lifetime. Whatever you decide, God knows you are doing it with a loving heart. I wish I could ease you burden. Leslie Jurado <lesliejurado@rhtc.net> - Monday, September 18, 2006 9:46 PM CDT Praying for Andrew and for wisdom for you all as you make the difficult decision regarding the shunt. Jennifer a from the prayer bears and ones who care <sassy_girl913@yahoo.com> Carrolton, Texas - Monday, September 18, 2006 2:20 AM CDT What a difficult decision you are faced with right now. I pray that God will grant you a sense of peace as you decide what is best for Andrew. I am praying for your family. Catherine Abernathy <cabernat@chestertel.com> Chester, SC - Saturday, September 16, 2006 5:06 PM CDT Hello Andrew & family! Your journal entry echos my thoughts these last few days!! It will be three years ago on Oct. 3 that we received Luke's diagnosis. A couple of weeks ago I found a photo of Luke in preschool working w/ one of his speech therapists dated just a few days before the diagnosis. I've kept it out, as it reminds me how ALMOST "normal" life used to be compared to now. This disease is something I wouldn't/couldn't wish upon my worst enemy! To watch the regression and be able to do nothing about it is so very hard and heartbreaking. I'm sure all parents can recall the day of diagnosis and that numb feeling. I hope it helps to know that you're certainly not alone! There are many of us who can empathize with you and the feelings you described! As always, your family and so many others affected by MPS are constantly in my heart, on my mind, and in my prayers. Hang in there. I know you'll make the best decision possible based on the information/research you have on shunting. Mieke Embry, mom to Luke (MPS-IIIA) www.caringbridge.com/al/lukeembry <embry10198@windstream.net> Moody, AL USA - Wednesday, September 13, 2006 9:46 PM CDT Yes Paulina, you write exactly what all "can" happen...I know, I've been there too. Shunting "could" help. Shunting "could" make it all worse. If you decide NOT to have the shunt placed, focus on other options to help with the head/crying/etc. If you decide you WILL shunt Andrew, have faith it will work. If at some point it doesn't, never second guess your decision. I know this doesn't help...I just want y'all to know that you WILL do what you believe to be best for your baby. And we will all pray with you in either case. Just never look back or second guess yourselves. Much love and divine guidance sent your way...kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle, NC USA - Wednesday, September 13, 2006 2:57 PM CDT Oh poor mom...........We are going through what you are having to make desicions about with Andrew right now with Payton...the whole shunt ordeal...you can read in his journal all that we are dealing with... www.caringbridge.org/visit/paypay It is one of the hardest decisions you will have to make...no one has the right answer...you just have to hope that the decision you make is the best one...there are no guarentees and that is what makes it so hard....I will pray for you while you have to go through this, because I was just there...Shannon Shannon Cherpes-mom to Payton-MPSll www.caringbridge.org/visit/paypay Alexis,Cheyenne and Hunter <cookie_sc2000@netzero.net> Orleans, Mi United States - Tuesday, September 12, 2006 10:27 PM CDT Hey there Andrew and Family!!

MIKI <brat77rh@yahoo.com> - Monday, May 1, 2006 10:07 AM CDT I just wanted you to know that we keep checking in on Andrew. I guess alot because so much of his journey reminds me of things we have been through with Tabitha. Many similarities! Just wanted to tell you if you ever need another mom to talk to, compare notes, vent, whatever! I'm just an e-mail away! Hope you're having a good weekend! ~Tabitha's Page~ Karen & Tabitha <karenpuddn@comcast.net> - Sunday, April 30, 2006 11:59 AM CDT hi to you all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Jackie Arteno (Hensley) <blackwidow@fuse.net> Hebron , KY USA - Sunday, April 23, 2006 6:31 PM CDT Hey Jump Family. Glad to hear Andrew has some relief. Don't get your hopes TOO high about the biopsies and emptying study. Every possible GI/bowel test was run on Lindsey over a two year period and showed "healthy, working perfectly" results. It's just plain MPS obstacles! The g-tube was a great choice for us. Andrew will still be able to eat/drink on his own too - even with a g-tube. The following are things we do to help Lindsey's food move through...senna, mylicon, acidopholus, miralax, zantac. For her pressure we use Diamox (she's on half the dose of a year ago). Hope everything continues to improve!

God is God and God is good! I pray that He will provide answers for you for all of those questions and uncertainties that I am sure you have. I cannot imagine what you and all of the other parents of MPS children must go through everyday of your lives but God has blessed you all with such grace and beauty! Thank you for being such an awesome testimony of His works! Tammy Potter <tpotter@rock-hill.k12.sc.us> Rock Hill, SC usa - Monday, March 27, 2006 9:52 PM CST Hey Paulina and Colin. I'm sorry for your worries. Hopefully Andrew won't "notice" the G-tube in the sense that he won't mess with it/pull it out. It is freaky at first, I'll be honest. But hopefully your hospital is like ours in Chapel Hill w/Dr. Muenzer...they will teach you everything you need to know and also make you an "emergency G-tube kit" to keep at all times on outings. With Lindsey we started with "bolus" feeds three times a day to supplement. Then we went to two small ones during the day and an all night feed. Now we are on continuous feeds 24 hours a day (at a smaller rate due to high residuals). It's sort of like a 4-6 month old baby learning how much to feed them, how often, etc. You'll get the hang of it soon, honestly. Make sure you vent the g-tube a LOT. I'm assuming they'll give Andrew a "nisen" (not sure how that's spelled). That's so they don't throw up, aspirate, etc. in the future. Therefore you need to "burp" them through the g-tube...venting. I wish you could come to Chapel Hill to talk/meet with Dr. Muenzer. Maybe you could send him a history (in your spare time right) of Andrew's problems. Include the medications and procedures. Maybe Dr. M could suggest something different...I don't know. Just trying to help. Hang in there...I know it's tough. Know that I think of you often, pray, and wish you nothing but happier days!!! Much love to you all...kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle , NC USA - Monday, March 27, 2006 11:30 AM CST I was sent here from Izzy Jurado's site - please know we'll keep you in our prayers. What a scary time for you - we are praying hard for comfort for your sweet boy. Mandy <mandyallbritton@carolina.rr.com> Charlotte, NC USA - Sunday, March 26, 2006 1:49 PM CST Paulina I am so sorry to hear that Andrew is still having problems with fluid intake. I pray that the feeding tube will help but I know you are worried about how to make all that work. I so wish I could make him and all the other sweet MPS babies better. I know you must be so exhausted. Sending my love and prayers. Leslie Jurado <lesliejurado@rhtc.net> - Saturday, March 25, 2006 4:16 PM CST I check on Andrew weekly. I keep you in my prayers daily!

Izzy's Aunt Lizzie Liz Hindson <lizcon@yahoo.com> Clemson, Sc - Thursday, March 16, 2006 6:22 PM CST I'm sorry Andrew has to endure this. Lindsey had it done also (among many other procedures trying to figure out what was wrong) and none of them "proved" anything was the culprit. I pray y'all get better news. A feeding tube (the Mic-Key button) is NOT bad at all - I promise. Please call me if you need to scream or cry or talk.

I am sorry that Andrew is having trouble again. Ciara had the same poopy problems, but now she gets one little can of prune juice a day and she has been going every day and she is so much happier! I don't know if Andrew will drink prune juice, but maybe it will help. We get her the little gerber juice bottles in the baby food aisle, they are apple and prune juice so maybe he might drink it. Alicia, John, Ciara, Hunter & ^^Angel^^ Tommy BENNETT CHILDREN'S JOURNAL <mps3mom@hotmail.com> - Sunday, March 12, 2006 1:49 AM CST I know all about BMs like Andrew is having...Lindsey was there several years ago. Miralax and Senna have been the ticket for her - we never miss the daily doses. I still say Diamox is the ticket for brain pressure - it has been for Lindsey. Zanaflex is a great drug for physical issues and it's wonderful sleep medicine. I know it's hard to see results when they are NOT immediate (I know), but please try these four things once again for at least 14 days straight. Please call Dr. Muenzer in Chapel Hill and he will advise also. Much love and prayers to you. kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle , NC USA - Saturday, March 11, 2006 11:35 PM CST I am praying for Andrew.

I got this site off of Isabel's and wanted you to know I will pray for you all! I manage GI practices and have worked in a GI office for a total of 8 years now.. Not that I am diagnosing, but I have seen it all.. They may need to check to see if he has an infection in his colon such as colitis,diverticulitis,or Crohns. The mucous in the stool is a sign that he has something in his colon that is acting up. Please insist that his colon is evaluated to the most extent that it can be. All three of these problems are treatable , but cause a lot of pain for the person affected. I will keep in touch with you all and hope that they can help Andrew out soon!!!With love and prayers, Miki <brat77rh@yahoo.com> - Friday, February 3, 2006 7:46 AM CST Andrew, I hope you get better real soon.

It is risky, but worth the knowledge to decide what is next. Ask again about the Diamox. I would encourage a call to Dr. Muenzer in Chapel Hill, NC. Dr. Muenzer was the head of all of Lindsey's "team" approach (neurology, PICU, neurosurgery, GI, etc). He may can suggest something for you about Andrew's care.

I'm sorry to hear about all that has happened since I last saw you. I think of you all often and pray regularly for you. I'll see you all soon. God Bless and take care. Billy Bussell Billy Bussell <revbillybus@hotmail.com> Florence, KY USA - Wednesday, October 12, 2005 11:03 AM CDT I hope everything is continuing to go much better for Andrew. Hospitals can always be scary no matter what you think the circumstances may be. Lindsey's heart rate periodically goes into the 40s and at times her respirations are 6-10. So all kids can be different and "strong". They're amazing aren't they? You didn't mention an MRI or body scan while Andrew was sedated, so I hope the docs took advantage of the day and ran all they could to give you some answers. I pray Andrew has relief soon! If you haven't or aren't on any government assistance, please apply and then appeal, appeal, appeal if necessary...Andrew deserves assistance so you and Colin don't have to get second jobs and stress yourselves out even more. It took Mark and I two years to 'accept' help, but it makes a huge difference emotionally, mentally and financially. We still struggle making ends meet each month with one income, but we make it work somehow. I will continue to pray for your family! kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle , NC USA - Tuesday, October 11, 2005 7:45 AM CDT *********************************************** HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!!!! *********************************************** Jennifer and Tyler Deskins <tylersmommy11304@yahoo.com> - Monday, October 10, 2005 12:11 AM CDT ***************************************** HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!! ***************************************** Jennifer and Tyler Deskins - Monday, October 10, 2005 12:10 AM CDT Hi.

It's stressful, but continue to pursue and push the doctors about GI issues. Beg them to try some acid-reflux meds. You'll know in two weeks time. Also, Lindsey has had numerous LPs. They are risky, but push for one of the best to do it so you can have some answers. A couple of Lindsey's saved her life (didn't know of infection until we did it). I know y'all are tired, beyond tired, and emotionally drained - it doesn't get better I don't think!? But know I care and continue to think of Andrew and how Lindsey used to be. I pray you get help soon for him. Much love and prayers to you all...kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle , NC USA - Wednesday, October 5, 2005 9:37 PM CDT I am sorry to hear Andrew is still having pain. I hope they get some answers after the LP. I was also wondering about whole bowel and GI tract to see if any problems there? Does Andrew have reflux? They started my Andrew on meds for that. I could not put him through another Ph Probe, so we treat him as though he has reflux and it has helped. Glad to hear nobody was injured in the car accident. Hugs to everyone.

I'm so sorry that you guys are going through so much right now! I hope Andrew's LP goes good next week! and thanks for defining everything! I am definately keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers!!!!! Love, Jennifer Deskins <tylersmommy11304@yahoo.com> www.caringbridge.org/ky/tylerdeskins , - Friday, September 30, 2005 10:13 PM CDT Just wanted to stop by and let you all know that we are thinking about you. I have to agree with Karen on the GI issues. Kraig has MPS II, but we have been battling similar issues. Kraig still does not sleep the best, but he is resting much better. I haven't seen the constant aggitation (thankfully) since we've been giving him Miralax routinely, that has seemed to help his belly quite a bit. I'm just so sorry that Andrew is in such pain. (((HUGS))) and prayers are headed your way. Love Ya, Kris and Kraiggy Kraig's Journal Klenke Bowl 2005 Kris Klenke <kris@mpssociety.org ** www.caringbridge.org/il/kraig/ **> Worden, IL - Sunday, September 25, 2005 8:42 PM CDT I guess because of Lindsey's past, I am compelled to tell you it's Andrews bowels/intestines/stomach. Dr. Muenzer said that MPS children have irritability, but NOT FROM these type issues...well Lindsey has MPS and all the doctors (including Dr. Muenzer) NOW agree she does indeed have problems/issues with this tract. Lindsey takes acidopholus (good bacteria for the tract), Miralax, Senna, Mylicon - she has been on GI Meds in the past like Reglan, etc. I would definitely push to see if any of this helps. All of Lindsey's GI studies and tests were normal, so that's why it took us years to get them to finally believe what we've thought from day one. It's just a suggestion, but I do hope Andrew finds comfort very soon! We think of you often...take care! kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle , NC USA - Sunday, September 25, 2005 1:09 PM CDT Hi Paulina - just checking in to see how Andrew was and to say we are praying that the Doctors find some answers soon. Hugs Terri Klein Whitmore Lake, MI USA - Saturday, September 24, 2005 10:30 PM CDT Hello to all the Jumps! I am checking in on my little Drew now that I don't get to see him on a regular basis. Now I have the privilege of seeing Alex nearly every day! :) My heart just breaks as I read the journal entries and hear about your suffering. I cannot imagine how difficult life is from day to day when you have a child with MPS. I hope that if there is ANYTHING my family can do to lighten the load you guys would let us know. I may not be there twice a week any more, but you are all constantly in my thoughts and prayers. By the way, I am sending you an email about our Casual Dress for MPS event at school, so check your email in the next couple of days. Give Drew a big hug and kiss for me! Jo Ann McCaughan <indigoquinn@fuse.net> Florence, KY - Wednesday, September 21, 2005 5:54 PM CDT Hi Colin, Paulina, Andrew and Alex, We've been thinking about you guys and pray for you all. We wished that dinner the other night would have worked out, but we know only too well what it is like. You change your whole life around MPS and then in a second it's gone and your whole life changes again. Now we feel somewhat guilty because we can do the things that normal families do, but thats not what we want, we still want to be an MPS family. I know it is tough for you all, tougher than we ever had it, but God chooses special people for our special children and you guys are a special family. Have faith that God will help you all to endure your special life with Andrew and Alex. Once it's gone, you will never be the same so give your two beautiful boys a hug, look up at the stars and say "Thank you for giving us this special life." All our love and prayers, Tom, Anne, & Sarah Gniazdowski Tom, Anne & Sarah Gniazdowski <tomg@fullservice.net> Springboro, OH US - Friday, September 16, 2005 7:27 AM CDT A little birdie told me to stop in and say hi!

Karin E. gives some very sound advice! Paulina, my dad too, was an alcoholic. It is a very troublesome way for a child to be raised (or not raised, my mom became an alcoholic by the time I was 8 yrs old due I am sure to my father's drinking and abuse) I can understand your feelings about keeping it bottled up inside and having to be the caretaker, but that just wont do now. You need someone to take some of these burdens off your shoulders, and you need to be able to talk to a professional about your feelings. Believe me, this can be quite helpful. My phsycologist was able to steer me in the right direcction in regards to Ty's health problems a few times on top of helping me come to terms with my feelings and depression on several occasions. I wish some of us (including me) lived closer to you, it is so much better when you have a support system around you to offer much needed respite. Keep praying, not only for guidance, but ask God to lift some of these burdens from you and I will pray that He do so, as well. I love you, Kim Downham <jdownham@earthlink.net> Houston, TX - Saturday, September 10, 2005 9:47 AM CDT Only an MPS Mom can say...I KNOW how you feel. And I do Paulina. Marriage is tough on its own...making your finances work out, add kids (healthy at that) and it's even more hard. But throw a kink in it with an MPS child, and it seems "when do you get a break". It sucks really, BUT no matter what, hang on to Hope and Pray for God to help. It truly makes a difference. I'll be honest, we take meds to help us function (Paxil and Cymbalta). Counseling, therapy, and medications are there to help us and I'm not ashamed any more to say we have to have them now. I'm sorry you and Colin are going through such a rough time - been there, done that - it's hard! Seek financial assistance through Social Security Administration and Social Services/Health and Human Services and Mental Health (programs and services that you qualify for because of MPS). Swallow your pride, like some of us have had to, and go ask how/what they can do to help you guys. Also, write a detailed letter about your finances and MPS life...some medical expenses will be paid off for you through foundation money if you ask. We have been very blessed by this. It's worth a try to help you out financially. Know that I think of you often, check in every week on the webpage, and will be praying for you all. kle Karen, Mark, Lindsey (MPS-IIIa) and Hannah Efird <efirds4mps@ctc.net *and* www.caringbridge.org/nc/lindseysmpsjourney> Albemarle , NC USA - Thursday, September 8, 2005 0:52 AM CDT I'm so sorry your feelin so low-This disease is so heartbreaking and any other thing that comes along well it can just be too much !I'm glad you have Andrews nurse to talk too -Don't be too strong -share the burden ! you are in my thoughts as are all the family especially Andrew Hugs Laura xxxx Laura Brodie <labro4will@yahoo.co.uk> Birmingham, England - Wednesday, September 7, 2005 4:37 PM CDT It looks like Alex is enjoying school!

Ciara did this all the time, but since she has been on the soy, she hardly does it at all. Last week I didn't give her the soy for 5 days and she was back to coughing, gagging, and girgling but she has been back on the soy for 4 days and she isn't doing it hardly at all.

Michelle Coughlin <coughlinmichelle@yahoo.com> Cincinnati, OH - Thursday, July 14, 2005 11:21 AM CDT So sorry to hear about the aspiration problems. I am sure it is very hard to decide about the feeding tube. I know in some ways it can make life easier but I understand your fears about Andrew pulling it out. Hang in there. You are not alone in your journey. We pray for your family and all MPS families. God bless. Leslie Jurado <lesliejurado@rhtc.net> Rock Hill, SC USA - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 2:39 PM CDT I honestly DO know how you feel...we've been there and done that with Lindsey. She regressed on swallowing and eating a few years ago. We started the cutting up food, then mashing it up, then processing it, tried the thickening, all of it. It's just part of the steps into the MPS funnel unfortunately. Hang in there, you'll do just fine. My only advice is to not wait too long for the feeding tube (Mic-key button or push button type) due to aspirating issues. One other advice...somehow, someway, find something positive in everything negative to pull you through the trial. I think of y'all everyday and check in on you too.
