Penny, First of all, it was nice to see you and Devon at the conference. Gina and I like your hair, too! Regarding your question, I agree with Nan. An improvement in sleep is a good thing -- for you and for Devon. I have spoken to Mark's pediatric pulmonologist (who prescribes this for us) and, this past week, my child neurologist. Both feel that ambien is a relatively benign medication. So, again, sleep is good for health and for alertness during the day, etc. If your pediatrician is in favor of this med, which he is, you might as well keep it up, in my opinion. Regards, Glenn ===== Glenn Csontos, husband to Gina, father to Mark (Partial T-13) age 6, Matthew - 5, Rachel - 3, and our little angel Rebecca, born asleep May 26, 2001 Lawrenceville, GA, USA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
