NEWS

While we wait patiently for our trip to DC to participate in the National Walk for Epilepsy, we *may* have crossed a finish-line of our own here at home...

We have not seen a seizure in 2 weeks!! This is MONUMENTAL! Her teachers also report two seizure-free weeks at school.

This news coincides with two things: a small increase in her medication and the start of an Atkins-based reduced carb diet. The diet has been challenging but if it is the reason we haven't seen any seizures lately, then it is completely worthwhile.

I'm scared to get too excited by this news - it will be painful for all of us if it turns out to be temporary - but I can't help it, it's fantastic!!
