Goodbye Trileptal!!

Lexi had an EEG on July 25th and her doctor called me last night to tell me that it was perfect. Lexi did everything the doctors wanted her to do...fell asleep, woke up, etc.

She shouldn't have any more seizure issues. If you've forgotten, a febrile seizure after she turned 2 caused more seizures. That can happen when a child is that young and most of the time, a minor amount of medicine for two years will give the brain enough time to finish building certain pathways. So by the age of 4 her brain is developed enough and she shouldn't have any more seizures.

We dropped her morning dose about a month ago, and last night, she got to toss the bottle in the trash! It was a great moment!!! Praise God!

She has one more check-up in September and is she looks good at that time, she will be dismissed as a pediatric neurology patient altogether! Woohoo!
