New plan

Busy day around here! First was the EEG. She did great! Hardly made a peep as the woamn was putting the electrodes on. I think she's finally getting used to it. Emma tagged along this time (she was visiting with Nana last week) and did surprisingly well for a 2 year-old.  We were able to get the test done and get out with only one major meltdown which in my book is pretty successful. Then we stopped home and had some lunch with Daddy...something we don't get to do too often. Then on the road again to the Neurologist!Emma was DONE by then. It was way past nap time and nothing was keeping her occupied. The good news: The EEG is looking better! She was bummed that she was having the seizures still since things looked so much better but the plan for now is keeping her on the once daily steroid shots and we see what next week's EEG says and then start the taper then. Originally we were going to start the taper tomorrow but since she's still have 2-3 seizures a day we're going to stick with the higher dose. She said we'll keep an eye on it and if it seems like the medication isn't doing the trick to control the seizures then we'll wean her off faster and try something else.

Oh and another great update....we have teeth! 2 in fact. They've just barely broken through the gums but they're there!
