Liv had a neuro appointment last week. I wasn't looking forward to it because we were told when I went to schedule it that her Neurologist moved. We were never notified of this. This is the doctor that diagnosed her at the age of 7 months and now we will never see her again.
Since she was seeing a new doctor, she had to have an EEG to check out her brain waves while resting without seizures. Then we had the appointment.
The new doctor seems nice. I guess it will take some time to warm up to her. We found out that she still has abnormalities in her brain (the memory section). This wasn't a big surprise since we knew that from her last MRI. The results of the EEG were a surprise though. She actually has 2 kinds of seizures when we thought there was just one. She has complex partials and generalized. There was a lot of activity going on in her brain while hooked up to the test.
Liv hasn't has a seizure for about 6 months and according to history, she should be due soon for some spells. They usually hit between 6 and 8 months. I'm just hoping that we can surpass them and that the meds she is on are just working!
