Neuro update

This week Callie had a check up with her neurologist Dr. Pearl.  I have said it before and I will say it again... I really like Dr. Pearl and am so glad Callie is under his care.  Despite being the last scheduled appointment of the day he took his time with us.  He was genuinely happy to see how much she has grown and pleased with her development.  He was thrilled that her recent EEG was clear and that she has now been seizure free for 10 months.  We reflected on how much of a difference a year makes.  One year ago Callie had infantile spasms and we were making tough decisions about her medications.  Now she is seizure and mostly medicine free (except for Prevacid).  We talked about seizures and he said the worst is most likely behind Callie.  Yes, she will probably have to deal with them again, but they will probably be partial seizures which apparently are not as bad as IS.  It would be uncommon for her to experience IS again at this point.  Overall it was a positive appointment and for that I am very grateful.
