Dr Visit

Doctor came by this afternoon after looking through all of her data. We ended up pushing the button twice this morning. Once when she forgot what she was doing and once when she twitched. This is to mark her EEG as a interesting point. Anyway dr said she had several times where there was activity that wasn't marked and it was hard to tell if she blanked out at those moments or not, but they were happening. He says she has primary generalized seizure disorder and will probably continue through adulthood. She also has absence seizures (the blank out moments) which is included in the primary generalized seizure disorder. He gave us some medication options but suggested that we increase her current medication and add keppra. We will probably go with that. It can always be changed if there are issues. She shouldn't have many limitations as long as things are under control, but of course there are few things she needs to stay away from - swimming alone, bathing alone, hard contact sports, alcohol, and medicine with benedryl. And when she's ready to have a family, she'll have to work closely with a neurologist and a gyno before hand. Not exactly what we want to hear but at least it's treatable. We'll get to go home tomorrow afternoon.
