18 months seizure free!!! Yesterday we had our 6 month checkup. Michael bravely gave blood as usual and didn't even cry!
Later, we met with our Dietician, PA and our Epileptologist, Dr. Koh. We successfully weaned Keppra last week which we are very thankful for as it was causing many unwanted side effects. The doctors are very impressed with Michael's progress and think at this point, he has about an 80% chance of outgrowing the epilepsy. However, we still have one more drug to wean as well as the diet. They suggested we wait for another year before attempting that. We will go for another EEG in 6 months.
So right now, we are going to sit back, relax and count our blessings.
We would like to thank our friends, family, Msgr. Yeazal, Sister Rose, Father John, and Father Ahern and our Angels for all of their prayers, blessings, gifts, love and support. We could not have gotten this far without you!
November is Epilepsy Awareness month, so don't forget to showing your support by wearing purple! God Bless~
