Well...they're baaack!

Yes, it is unfortunately the seizures that I'm talking about that have crept back into our life. Lettie has been having small, brief seizures off and on for a couple of weeks now but this past Sunday she had her first full blown seizure just like old times. It was about 3 min. long and she then had one Tuesday and Thursday as well. The good news is that the one Thursday was caught on her EEG. We had a follow up appointment with Dr. Paolicchi on Thursday and an EEG as well and Lettie had a seizure while she was hooked up. This was good because Dr. Paolicchi was able to see the seizure on the video EEG. It appears to be focal seizures she is having and not spams, which is good news. There were no signs of the spasms returning as of now and the left hemisphere EEG looked much better than it did on her last EEG in September. It's crummy and really got me down that the seizures are back but what can you do but just pray some more. Actually, Sunday after her seizure I would say I was more angry than sad, just really ticked off that we have to deal with this AGAIN! Overall though, our appointment Thursday could've been much worse. Dr. Paolicchi felt the same as us, good and bad, hate that seizures are back but at least they aren't spasms. She said that it doesn't mean that it can't lead to more spasms but as of now they're not and that's all I'm gonna focus on.

We are starting a new medication, Lamictal, tomorrow to hopefully help with the new seizures. She actually just had one about an hour ago when we got home from therapy. Life must go on and hopefully these ridiculously, rotten, evil seizures will subside soon, especially for the holidays! I mean what a bad time to return, you know! They could've at least waited till January 2!
