Update - Thursday, August7

Still no seizures since Saturday. : )

We had a neurology appointment today. Not much new, especially since we were just there last Friday with the recent wave of seizures. We didn't run any tests, didn't change medicines, just sat and chatted with the doc.

She obviously isn't outgrowing them just yet, so we'll continue on the medicine and doses that we've most recently updated. We didn't have her blood drawn for a phenobarb level today because the it would probably be artificially high, due to the recent loading doses. Next week we'll take her back and get a level done on her to see what number she is at and know what is works for her.

Ideally, this appointment would have been to talk about weaning her off of medicine, had she not had any seizures since our last appointment, obviously that was a no go. We set another appointment 3 months out under the same hope.
