Preliminary Partial 48 Hour EEG Results.

The Neurologist just left.

The Neuro examining her.....best pic I could get.


He told me that Makily is still having abnormal brain spikes concentrated in the frontal lobe of the brain (that's where your personality is ..sad face). He says that those brain spikes can spread throughout the brain and cause a seizure but at this point they have not seen any actual seizures.



He was concerned about the eye droop and stared at a photo of the drooping/turning out for quite a while. Then he examined her and stared at her eyes for a while too. She did the eye droop thing in front of him.

RIGHT Eye droop thing.


I expressed my worry about the Keppra keeping her so tired all the time. She's actually regressing and it's horrible for her and TERRIBLE for us to watch. She's always wanting to lay down now. I sit her up and she has figured out how to lay back without hurting herself. This is not normal for her to always want to be laying down. It's been since the start of the Keppra. She's always been sleepy but this is much worse.

The doctor wants to do another day of EEG (today) and then review the results again. He is also going to consult with his team to figure out something to change the Keppra to. He thinks the Topomax is ideal for her since she has done so well on it for so long. She had break through seizures last year though so that is why we added the Keppra.

I'm okay but bummed a little. I was hoping he would say all was fine but I should know better than that when it comes to my "abnormally normal for her little girl."

When I went to take her picture again.........she totally put this in front of her face. bahahahhaha


I love you Makily.
