MRI Results

Larissa is learning to write her name. She has the L, A and I down pat. Oh yea, she has it down so well that she wrote it all over her bedroom. She was supposed to be in bed.
She is not supposed to go into her sisters room and take her highlighters.

That is one of the dangers of having little ones and teenagers, more dangerous writing opportunities. Did you know that highlighter is not easy, uh sometimes impossible, to get off the walls and furniture. Looks like I will put painting on my list of things to do (one day).

.

Today we went to the neurologist to get the results of Larissa's MRI. Thankfully, everything was normal on her MRI.

Unfortunately, her seizures have gotten worse. Imagine driving down the street and then realizing that your child has fallen asleep, you notice because you hear the choking noise coming from the back carseat.

.

When they first put her on Keppra we saw some positive results. The seizures got better, less frequent and less severe. However, as we have increased the meds I have noticed that the seizures are now getting worse and more frequent. She had three of them within 15 minutes the other day when she fell asleep next to me.
.
We are increasing meds again, get blood work in a week and come back in a month. We will probably look at changing meds at that time.

While sitting in the waiting room Anthony gave me a concern. He was agitated and rubbing himself. He told me that he had bugs crawling all over himself. I asked him when he started having bugs and he said in the car. So the bugs followed him from the car, through the parking garage, up the elevator and into the waiting room. He wasn't sweating or ashy (dry) so that didn't explain the bug crawling feeling. I told him that I didn't see any bugs. He told me that he could hear them buzzing. There weren't any bugs. I found the entire incident kind of concerning. Something else to keep an eye on I guess.

.

So far this year Anthony has been doing great. I am so glad that we held him back in Kindergarten last year. He was not ready to move up. He has had 7 good school days in a row, that is a record for him.

.

In other kid news, Jason has a job interview tomorrow. I sure hopes he gets this job, he needs it.

.

Sarah got a 86 on her algebra quiz. I guess I am not too bad of a math teacher. She has always struggled with math.

.

Well, I am going to try and be good today and go to bed and read. Maybe I will go to sleep before midnight tonight.
