Time Marches On

The last couple weeks have been blissfully uneventful on the seizure front. In that time, the school year has ended and summer is off to a good start with graduations and family get-togethers. Seth has been seizure free since Mother's Day and seems to be doing well. Time continues marching on and we are thankful for each day that passes without a seizure. So far this summer, we've had a couple opportunities for swimming at Lake Erie and my brother's pond. Due to the risk of seizure, Seth has to wear a life vest when swimming in murky water. Although this isn't his favorite thing, he has been cooperative and only slightly pushes the limits. I know he doesn't understand the danger, but that's okay. That's my job.

We have a follow up appointment scheduled with Seth's neurologist/epileptologist in two weeks and I'm not sure what to expect. I'm anxious to hear what is next and where we go from here. I don't know whether we can move forward without the ictal SPECT, or what new information may have been obtained from his most recent inpatient stay for long term EEG monitoring. I look forward to learning what's to come and am ever hopeful that we are one step closer to seizure freedom for Seth.
