Good day for Dawson today. We have titrated back on his Keppra as of this morning and so far he has only had two clusters of seizures as opposed to having seizures after waking from every nap. It is too early to tell if the change in dosage is what has made the difference. We are currently at .5ml which is almost the smallest amount of Keppra you can give. This is also the same dose he was on when he went 7 days without any seizures at all.
We are going to go all weekend at this dosage and then call we are to call his Neurologist and let her know what the results are. If at that time he is still having seizures, we are going to start the Topamax again.
I always dread changing his dosage on Keppra because it really seems to effect his mood for about 3 days until he gets adjusted. So far so good today as he has been in a really good mood.
He had been rubbing his eyes and really sneezy for that past few days so we decided to give him a small dose of Benadryl at bedtime. Well...... we found out the next morning that there is a list of about 1000 drugs that you are not to give children with epilepsy. Benadryl is one of them. He had some seizures during the night that night ( which he never does) and we were both just sick that we had given him some.
That list of drugs not to give him would have been VERY beneficial to have oh say....
3 MONTHS AGO.
Anyway.. We are supposed to have some beautiful weather here in North Alabama this weekend and we are so looking forward to some warm sunshine around the Wade household. We are planning on taking advantage of a warmer weekend and hope to get the kids outdoors for a while.
We love you guys and thanks for all the prayers!!
Jeff and Allison
BTW be on the lookout for some new pictures and videos to be posted this weekend.
