The neurologist's goal is to eliminate the seizures completely. The medicine in the
planned full dose, though really helpful, didn't get rid of them entirely. Since they do brain damage, it's better to get rid of them alltogether. So he had me increase it a little bit more. It's at the absolute maximum dose safe for his weight and age. And it makes him terribly tired in the afternoons. By the time I pick him up from therapy, he barely makes it home before he's over and out. And I mean out. I've never seen him sleep so soundly. The first night it totally freaked me out.
But he's out with Daddy tonight, for one on one time. They went to the lake and park and are now having a treat. Looks like Daddy's treat... I know my Aidan will probably only eat 3-4 bites of
that. :)
