Ups and downs…
Well my daughter has started a second medicine – Topamax – and at first it seemed to result in MORE seizures, but now that the dosage has increased, she seems to have adjusted and the seizures are less frequent and less…obvious. She’s doing really well now – well, she’s acting more like a typical 2-year-old, which I guess you could say is both GREAT and …well, trying. LOL.
We are really, really pleased at her progress and her brother’s – he just got out of his first year of school and he won an award for “Academic Excellence”!
All in all, things seem to be moving in the right direction…after a long, long struggle!
Oh and, 2008? Don’t let the door hit you on the way out…
Yes, things have improved of late but I cannot honestly say I’m not ready for a new year. This one has really worn out its welcome – actually, it had done that by June or so, but we won’t dwell on that.
Being me…is tiring
Can I stop now?
No, not really. I just might want to curl up and sleep for a while, if nobody minds.
My daughter had her EEG last week, she goes in for an MRI tomorrow morning. Her age? She’s 1. Sigh.
My son has started pre-school and speech therapy and is doing quite well. Trying to keep up with him is something else; he’s three. Let me just note that we learned an IMPORTANT lesson last night: there will be NO CHOCOLATE CAKE after dinner – that is just too late in the day for TIRED WIRED LOUD BOY. Ah, well – you live and you learn! 
Then there’s work. And my husband. His depression, my depression, OUR depression.
Well, life is certainly full of twists and turns; I have to give it that. And I’m sure, if I don’t like current situation, the situation will be slightly different tomorrow, then different again the day after that. And I can take steps to improve things. I am actually working on it. I’m just tired.
