The Six-Week Itch

Apparently Kamyrn's sweet little brain just couldn't take it anymore. A seizure finally broke through yesterday around 5:30 pm. It had been just over six weeks since her last one. We called the neurologist and he made a slight tweak in her Keppra dose (not phenobarb this time), as well as a small loading dose of Keppra. She held steady until 4am this morning, when she had another. It seemed a little longer than normal, but it has been a little while and I may have just lost a sense of how long they are in that time. It didn't seem as severe though, she didn't go completely red/purple, and took a couple of little breaths during her seizure, that she didn't use to do. She pretty much fell straight to sleep after that, as they really drain her. She woke up with another seizure at 5:45am. Luckily, after that one it was in a reasonable time frame to get her morning medicine doses in her. We haven't seen one since then.
We've called the neurologist and haven't heard back.
I'll let you know when we have more news.
