[UPDATE] 48 Hours After Maggie’s First Dose of Cannabis Oil #Miracle4Maggie

17 month old Maggie Selmeski has gotten her first dose of cannabis oil in Colorado.

From TheSelmeskis.blogspot.com:

“As I type, she has been on the oil for almost 48 hours. We gave her that first dose and watched with anticipation. All that we have worked for over the past few months all of the sudden became a reality. The day we have been waiting for.

It is so hard to be objective in observing her because there is so much anticipation built in. We definitely notice a difference, but it’s hard to detail. She has been much more vocal and expressive with her coos. Last night we went to and Q&A tough questions event at our church (which was great!! Denver Seminary professors that Shawn will study under).

We both agree that she is tremendously more alert. Her awake is much more awake, and when she sleeps, she seems to sleep more soundly. For our heavily sedated little girl to stay awake most of the day, was crazy…crazy enough that I am a little concerned we might have an insomniac on our hands.

As for appetite….she has the munchies! :0 She demanded a snack at 4am, and nursing didn’t quite do the trick! She’s been taking in quite a bit more at her meals too! This is great for the Little Miss that can’t get over the 17 lb. mark.

Seizures….we haven’t noticed much difference. The number of spasms are so hard to track and count. We will being spending a day with the lap counter every couple of weeks to try to get an accurate count and monitor the number of spasms. When she wakes up from sleep, it doesn’t seem nearly as painful though, and I do think the clusters are somewhat lessened. So hard to tell though.

Overall, we are seeing some good responses so far. We’re not really sure what we are getting ourselves into though, when she becomes a typical toddler. We are going to have to step it up in setting boundaries and getting a good routine in place!!” —Read full post here
