Results!

No sooner did I post that last entry and the doctor's office called. They did see seizure activity, which we weren't super surprised, as she's had symptoms. It's in the same place that it was 3 years ago, so that's actually positive - the same type of epilepsy. It's much better than it was 3 years ago, even though it's still there, so that means that it's being semi-controlled with the medication. Her doctor is switching her to a different type of medication and we have an appointment in 3 months to see how it's working. Unfortunately, the regular nurse was out sick and so it was a "float" nurse that called with the results, which means every question I had - she couldn't answer. I'm not sure why you'd have a float nurse call with important test results, but, whatever. They will call me next week to answer questions and give us directions on switching medications, which apparently, is a process in itself. Darby's doctor apparently said that we may be able to use the medication for 6 months and then talk about taking her off. Again, the nurse couldn't answer why he would think that, so I'll save that question for when a real nurse calls me. Obviously, we're disappointed that the seizure activity was even there, but the positives really outweigh the negatives, so we'll focus on those. So, we'll just pray that the transition between medications goes smoothly and that they don't make us do any more sleep deprived EEGs any time soon! Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support! Dealing with all of this is so much easier with all of the love that we have from our family and friends!
