Emily had her follow up last week at Loma Linda University Hospital. For the past month and half she has been taking an anti-siezure medicine that really seems to be doing the trick. This appointment was actually with the head of pediatric-neurology and she really knows her stuff. She was very happy to see Emily and to see her happy, unlike her personality when she stayed in the hospital. After her examination and questions she did decide to raise the dose of her medicine, but that is no big deal to us. It is a liquid and Emily has no problem taking it twice a day. Emily will be on this medicine, called Keppra, for at least 2 more years. After 2 years she will receive another EEG and then they will determine if she has outgrown her abnormality in her brain or if the medicine is just suppressing siezures. With all that said, Emily is as healthy as can be. She is happy, stubborn, sassy, and cute as ever.

Soo good to hear! Yeah!
She is adorable. I am so glad to hear that everything is going good for her. I really appreciate the comment you left on my blog. Damon is so annoyed at me for venting about the fundraising thing, because he thinks that other people won't feel the same way as I do. So I appreciate that you were honest about it.
