New Neurologist and still seizure FREE!!!!

We finally got to see the new neurologist.
My son didn't need anything, per say...
cause he has been seizure free for over 4 MONTHS!!!

Yes. I said it, FOUR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!
(knock on wood)

We just recently moved and needed to establish a relationship with a new Doc.
I had researched him. He was nice.
But what was wrong with him you ask?

As I explained how Arthur's Complex-Partial seizures present, he said
"that's not a typical seizure."

Uh what????
He didn't really just say that did he???

As we continued to talk he still seemed somewhat confused. Not exactly
the reassuring appointment I hoped for.
But he did refer Arthur to have Neuro-psychological testing before I even
brought it up. ( Point for new Doc!)

He did a very thorough exam and saw no need to change any
of Arthur's meds since he has been doing so well.
He was patient and answered all my questions.

I am giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. Hopefully his lack
of knowledge on complex partial seizures is just based on the fact
that he is a newer doctor.

He will do for now.


Cause let's be honest, if something changes and I don't trust this Doc.
I'll just find a new one :)


Stats as of today: Arthur 13yrs old

110 pds, 5'4
Keppra 3000mg/day (1500mg 2xday)
Zonegran 100mg 1xday
