ONE MONTH SEIZURE FREE!!
We met with her neurology team today: Dr. Park (Epilepsy Specialist), Dr. O'Neill (Neurosurgeon), and Dr. Wilkensen (Neuropsychologist). In brief, all were very pleased with Erica's progress. Seizure free, with not even an aura, was celebrated by all. They were excited to hear how well Erica recovered. We spoke in length with Dr. Park about Erica's current medications and dosage. Her recommendation is to continue to take current dosage and both medications. She believes the brain is still calming and it is uncertain if medication is assisting this process. Since things are going so well, let's continue the course for a bit longer. We will reevaluate at our next visit.
Next steps:
In 3 months - Meet with Dr. Park for check-up
In 6 months - Repeat MRI
In 9 months - Neuropschology Testing
Great day to celebrate! We are looking forward to Thanksgiving Break so that she can swim and ice skate, both activities she has not been able to participate in for some time. Looks like we'll look into booking flights for Winter Break so that we can visit CT!
