Dawson had a pretty good night last night. No seizures last night or this morning. Hopefully doubling the dose of Keppra is going to finish these last few off for good. He is looking somewhat bloated from the ACTH as it makes you retain water, but that will disappear as he comes off of the injections. He is also having trouble during the day and evening sleeping. He will go to sleep but it is a very light sleep and wakes up frequently. We believe this is also a side effect of the ACTH. It can cause you to be very restless and irritated.
We have been going to the hospital every other day to have blood pressure monitored ( Also another side effect of ACTH) and his numbers look very good. We are so glad his body is tolerating this medication.
Thanks for checking in and for thinking of him!!
