On a hunch

Call it mother's intuition or just a gut feeling. I decided that the Zonisamide was not helping Keira's seizures.  Her seizures are triggered by sleep (among other things) and the Z med is not only known for making kids sleepy, but for making them have more trouble thinking/concentrating.  I got Seth on board and we slowly titrated her down to zero. Her last dose of  Z was on Tuesday and the last seizure we saw was on Tuesday so far. I am knocking on some serious cyber wood. I have been hesitant to say anything only to have them return the next day. BUT, I DO want to say something!! She has had a few random days without seizures, but none were consecutive!! This is 4 days without any noticable seizure activity.
We have seen a few other developments and go to the Neurologist on Monday.  She is only on Depakene 3x's a day now. Still a hard core drug for her little body, but she has made great strides since her surgery on October 20.  The most notable being her chubby little cheeks.
