Reading your post was hauntingly familiar... The same thing happened to me a year ago (May 2009)... Same symptoms, and ammonia level over 600. I was in a coma for five days. I was also diagnosed with OTC Deficiency, and had a brother who passed away too early (14 years old) with the same symptoms. Fortunately, I live close to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I was treated for 43 days. They have wonderful doctors there. I saw a post about contacting a Pediatric Geneticist, and that makes sense. I was primarily treated by Dr. David Valle.
