6 Weeks Seizure-Free!



We've continued to stay busy at our house since coming home from the hospital with Isabella. A few days after we got home, Emma got the flu . . . and shared it with Mommy!! Thankfully Isabella and Tom avoided it with some preventative meds. Emma also got the stomach bug, which lingered for several days. Thankfully the rest of us avoided that one. Now, Emma is dealing with either allergies or a spring cold. Isabella went to the dr last week to get checked for a possible urinary tract infection. The initial test was positive, so she was put on an antibiotic, but a few days later we were called with the results from the more extensive test and it turns out there is no infection. So, we have to talk to the neurologist again to see if her symptoms are in any way related to the anti-seizure meds.


and, speaking of her anti-seizure meds, Isabella has been seizure free for 6 weeks now!! We are so thankful, and we continue to pray that the new meds she is on will continue to keep the seizures away. she has been doing really well on the new meds, so we are so pleased about that. We have slowly increased the dose on one of the meds per her neurologist's instructions. As long as she continues to stay seizure-free, she will go back to the neurologist in early June.


After so many crazy weeks, we were able to enjoy a fun weekend together as a family celebrating Easter. here are a few pictures from our weekend for you to enjoy!
