Update on Ethan

Well officially Ethan is off Lamictal as of tonights dose. We will see if his drop seizures go away now. The doctor had concluded that the Lamictal was causing these new seizures and might I just add "scarey" seizures too. I talked to the nurse today and she said unfortunatley most all epileptic meds increase their appetites. I am suppose to monitor his weight every week to see if we need a diet consultant for him. He does have to wear his "cool as beans" helmet at recess and PE classes in school but right not during regular class time. I really pray that the kids will be as nice as last year and not make fun of his helmet.
His behavior has changed since they increased his Depakote. He does not listen and cannot keep attention AT ALL...this should be interesting in school..UGH! As of now he is on Depakote, Vimpat, Klonopin....its nice to see less than about 30 pills in his pill organizer.
Today he did really good at the dental clinic. He had his work done with no locals and did not complain...he is one strong cookie I tell ya :)

So blessed to have him as my son :) )
