Bye Bye Topiramate!

We are off of Topiramate (Topamax)! Brock hasn't had a single seizure that we know of- such a blessing! We fly to Houston tomorrow for some more cranial work and then have our first outpatient appointment with neurology on Friday. I am so anxious about that appointment- excited, but trying not to get my hopes up about things that will be said/discussed. As always, prayers are appreciated! [...]

So far, so good!!

We are almost done with week 2 of this 5 week medication wean that we are on! Brock is doing awesome and has not had any seizures, thankfully. The kids and I drove to Houston this past weekend to have some cranial work done on Brock. She'll be in Dallas this weekend, and then we will fly back to Houston the following week. We have another MRI, neurology appointment, and neurosurgery appointment all in the next 3 weeks, plus another hearing test. Please be praying for all these appointments- and specifically that his hydrocephalus has not worsened. This last time in the hospital, the third and forth ventricles were more enlarged than on the last scan. We need to go the other direction- they can't continue to get bigger or we will have to put in the shunt. We will be looking at a very small window of time before summer starts (and Brad's here and there with camps, etc.) if he does in fact need the surgery. I still feel like I am drowning most days, so I can't imagine getting thrown back into the hospital at this point for any length of time. I'm working on a more detailed most about all that...it should be posted in the next couple of days. [...]
