We are happy to report that in the last few days we've seen a reduction in the amount of seizures Josie has been having. Yesterday she only had 2 all afternoon which is an enormous improvement. She's having a couple signs of side effects, mostly being a little cranky and at times being inconsolable when she gets upset. She hasn't been acting overly tired which is the biggest risk of this medication as it is a sedative.
We'll be talking with our doctor on Friday and discussing her dosage again as well as firming up a time to meet with the neurologist for a more long term plan and to answer the 1 million questions that we have regarding epilepsy. I both love and curse the internet at times of medical uncertainty.
Yay! We're glad the amount of seizures have gone down!
Glad to hear about the improvements.
We'll be thinking about you on Friday!

Glad to hear things are improving. Hang in there!
Good news! Love the photo - it speaks volumes!
